Last Updated:2025/5/18
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from AllAboutJapanLife.com (the “Site”).
Personal Information We Collect
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some cookies that are installed on your device. We also collect information about the individual pages or products you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. This automatically-collected data is referred to as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site and collect data including IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
When you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (such as credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. This is referred to as “Order Information.”
In this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” refers to both Device Information and Order Information.
How We Use Your Personal Information
We use the Order Information primarily to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud;
- Provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services based on the preferences you have shared with us.
We use the Device Information we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (particularly your IP address), and more broadly to improve and optimize the Site—for example, by generating analytics on how users browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns.
