Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

Japan Field Guide ("this site," "we," "us") respects your privacy. This page explains what information is collected when you visit, and how it's used.

Information We Collect

We don't currently ask visitors to create an account, submit a contact form, or leave comments — so we don't collect personal information you voluntarily provide.

Like nearly every website, our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical information for security and performance purposes, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. This is normal server activity and isn't used to identify you personally.

Cookies

This site does not currently use tracking or advertising cookies. Standard WordPress cookies may be set only if you log in as an administrator — regular visitors browsing the site are not affected.

If we add tools like Google Analytics or advertising in the future, they may set their own cookies to measure traffic or show relevant ads. If that happens, we'll update this page to reflect it.

Third-Party Services

We use Google Search Console to monitor how this site appears in Google Search results. This service does not collect personal information about individual visitors to the site.

This site may contain links to external websites (for example, when referencing a place, service, or resource in an article). We aren't responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites — we'd encourage you to review their own policies.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Your Rights

If you have questions about what information may be associated with your visit, or would like something removed, you're welcome to reach out using the contact information below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this page as the site grows — for example, if we add analytics, advertising, or a way to contact us directly. The "Last updated" date at the top will always reflect the latest version.
