“Joy of Japanese,” available at joyofjapanese.com, values the privacy of its visitors. This Privacy Policy describes how the company collects, uses, and discloses personal information that it gathers, records, and receives.

You may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions depending on your activities on our website.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What information do we collect about you?

Our site collects information from visitors who access different parts through various devices, including mobile devices.

We collect your information through registration on our site, signing up for our newsletter, completing a form, and making a comment. Also, when you contact us via email, message, phone call, or social media.

Similarly, we may receive logs, location, usage, and device information. Nevertheless, you can visit our site anonymously.

We may collect your information, including your name, email, location, and phone number. We need this information to provide you with an appropriate answer or solution.

In addition, joyofjapanese.com may collect potentially personally-identifying information, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, from users who leave comments on blog posts.

What do we do with your information?

The information is used to analyze trends and traffic, track users’ movements on the website, plan advertisements, manage the site, and collect demographic information.

You will receive updates and other relevant information about the site, marketing, and promotion. Furthermore, we may use the information to contact you directly or through one of our email marketing companies.

This information allows us to enhance the performance of our website, personalize your experience, and prevent spam and fraud.

Other companies or individuals may perform some of our work and website functions. Even though we have access to this information, we use it only for our own business objectives. It cannot be used for any other purpose.

Despite the importance of security, Internet transmission cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Additionally, any data shared online can be accessed and used by someone other than the intended recipient.

The above factors make it impossible to ensure that third parties will not access or disclose your personal information except as authorized under this Privacy Policy.

Online Privacy Policy Only

This privacy policy covers only the information gathered through our online activities. Data collected offline or through other platforms is not covered by this policy.

Is your information shared with anyone?

The Joy of Japanese will never disclose, rent, sell, trade, lease, or transfer your personal information to a third party.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties under the following circumstances:

  • Our employees and web developers operate our website, business, and services. Thus, if they agree to keep the information confidential, they may access it.
  • We may share information with third-party service providers and business partners who assist us in marketing and other business operations. Sometimes, we may partner with other organizations to provide advertising, newsletters, email support, secure payments, messaging services, customer interaction on social media, auditing, accounting, and website analysis.
  • Additionally, we may release information as required or permitted by law or a legal requirement. We can also enforce our site policies, resolve disputes, and enforce any agreements between us.

How do we protect your information?

  • We do not perform vulnerability or PCI compliance scanning on our website.
  • All we do is provide information through articles.
  • We do not ask for credit cards details. Transactions are handled by payment gateways, so we don’t store them on our servers.
  • Malware is regularly scanned.

Our secure networks protect your personal information. Still, only a few people have access to this system with special access rights. Therefore, confidential information must also be accessed. Moreover, all sensitive/credit information you provide us is encrypted with a Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

We implement a variety of security measures to protect your information when you place an order, enter, access, or submit it.

No personal information is “sold” in any of the above policies. Additionally, “Joy of Japanese” does not disclose or sell personal information to third parties for business or commercial purposes.

We respect your privacy and will never sell your information.
