Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) sets out the rules for using the Japans-Dates.com website (referred to as the “Site,” “we,” or “us”). It explains the types of personal data we collect, the purposes and methods of processing, how we store and protect it, the circumstances in which it may be shared, and the choices you have regarding its use and disclosure.
This Policy applies exclusively to Japans-Dates.com and our own data-management practices. It does not extend to any third-party websites accessible via links on our pages. Those external sites maintain their own privacy statements.
We respect the confidentiality of your personal information and are committed to safeguarding it. By continuing to browse or use this Site, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
In accordance with relevant data protection regulations, Japans-Dates.com acts as the “data controller,” which means we determine the purposes and methods for handling the personal data collected through this Site. This Policy applies only in situations where Japans-Dates.com operates in that capacity.
Please note: Japans-Dates.com is an independent, third-party informational website designed to provide reviews, insights, and news about the online dating platform Japans Dates. We are not affiliated with, owned by, or officially connected to any dating service, including entities with similar names. All content is provided strictly for informational purposes.
2. Eligibility to Use the Website
Access to this Site is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher). By visiting or using the Site, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors under 18. If such information is identified, it will be deleted immediately. If you believe a minor has provided data to us, please contact us right away at https://japans-dates.com/contact-us/ so we can resolve the issue promptly.

5. Cookies & Third-Party Tools
Japans-Dates.com uses cookies—small text files stored on your device—to ensure basic functionality and improve site usability.
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information such as page views, device types, and traffic sources. This data helps us improve site performance and usability. No personally identifiable information is collected.

6. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share non-personal, aggregated information with trusted partners for analysis or reporting, but this data cannot identify you.

7. Data Retention & Security
We retain user-submitted data, such as contact form messages, only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was provided or as required by law. Data that is no longer relevant is deleted.
We employ technical and administrative measures—such as secure servers, encryption where applicable, and restricted access—to protect the limited data we collect. However, no online system is 100% secure, and you use the Site at your own risk.
