Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 11, 2026. This policy explains how Japan Trip Planners collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the website and its services.
Information we collect
Japan Trip Planners may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, account details, contact messages, purchases, affiliate application information, payout preferences, saved places, and itinerary content. The site may also store preferences such as theme, cart contents, and planning drafts in your browser.
How information is used
Information may be used to operate the website, provide digital products, manage accounts and memberships, save planning content, administer the affiliate program, respond to support requests, prevent misuse, improve tools, and send transactional or requested marketing communications.
Optional email updates
Creating an account does not automatically subscribe you to marketing email. If you expressly opt in, Japan Trip Planners may send monthly site and blog updates together with occasional reminders about itineraries you start. You can withdraw this permission at any time through Account Details or the unsubscribe controls included with marketing email.
Payments and service providers
Payment details are handled by an authorized payment processor. Japan Trip Planners does not store full card numbers or card security codes. Information may be shared with service providers only as needed to deliver website, account, payment, email, storage, security, or support functions.
Affiliate links and partner sites
Some recommendations use affiliate links. Partner sites have their own privacy practices, cookies, and terms. Japan Trip Planners may receive attribution or commission information from a partner when a qualifying purchase is made.
Data retention and choices
Information is retained only as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, legal obligations, security, dispute resolution, and account administration. You may request access, correction, or deletion of eligible personal information through the Contact page, subject to legal and operational requirements.
Security
Japan Trip Planners uses reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information handled. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so users should protect account credentials and contact Japan Trip Planners if they suspect unauthorized access.
Policy updates
This policy may be updated as services, legal requirements, or data practices change. Material updates will be identified by a revised effective date.
