Privacy Policy

Japan Remote Guide is an informational website for remote workers planning temporary stays in Japan. This policy explains what information may be collected, how it may be used, and what visitors should avoid sending.

Current status

At this stage, the site does not offer user accounts, payments, newsletter signup, or an active public contact form. If a contact form, newsletter, analytics tool, advertising service, or other third-party service is added, this policy should be reviewed and updated before public launch.

Information

Information we may collect

Information you choose to send

If a contact method is added later, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, message category, page URL, public source link, correction note, collaboration inquiry, or other message content.

Basic technical information

Web hosting, security, and analytics services may process basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, pages visited, and access time. This depends on the services used to host and operate the site.

No accounts or payments

The site currently does not create visitor accounts, process payments, sell digital products, or ask visitors to upload documents.

Privacy and safety

Information you should not send

Please do not send passport numbers, visa documents, tax records, bank details, medical information, insurance documents, employment contracts, or urgent personal legal questions. Japan Remote Guide does not provide immigration, tax, legal, medical, insurance, or emergency advice.

  • If your message is about a visa page, send the public source or page URL you want reviewed, not your private documents.
  • If your question depends on your personal legal, tax, medical, or immigration status, seek professional advice instead of sending private details here.
  • If your situation is urgent, contact the appropriate local authority, embassy, consulate, emergency service, or qualified professional.

Use

How information may be used

Respond

Reply to messages

Information may be used to respond to corrections, source suggestions, local updates, collaboration ideas, or media inquiries.

Improve

Review site content

Public sources and correction notes may be used to improve articles, update guidance, and identify pages that need review.

Operate

Maintain site security

Basic technical data may be processed by hosting or security providers to keep the site available, secure, and functioning properly.

Plan

Understand useful content

If privacy-conscious analytics are added later, they may be used to understand which topics and pages are most useful to visitors.

Services

Third-party services

Japan Remote Guide may use third-party services to host the website, protect the site, receive messages, manage forms, send email, or understand site usage. These may include services such as Cloudflare, Google Forms, Formspree, analytics tools, or newsletter tools if they are added later.

When a third-party service is used, that service may process information under its own privacy policy. Any new service that collects visitor information should be reviewed before launch and reflected in this policy.

Cookies

Cookies and analytics

Current position

This page does not currently identify an active analytics, advertising, or tracking service. If analytics are added, this policy should be updated to explain what is collected and why.

Additional tools

If cookies or similar technologies are used later for analytics, security, forms, embedded content, or newsletters, the policy should describe those tools in clear language.

Retention

Data retention

Messages and related information should be kept only as long as needed to respond, verify a correction, maintain records of collaboration, protect the site, or meet operational needs. Information that is no longer useful should be deleted or minimized when practical.

Audience

Children and sensitive information

Japan Remote Guide is not directed to children. Visitors should not send sensitive personal information through any contact method unless a secure process is clearly provided and the information is necessary for that process.

Updates

Policy updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the site adds contact forms, newsletters, analytics, advertising, embedded content, partnerships, or other services. The latest version should be published on this page.
