Privacy
This covers the English pages at /en. It is a summary provided for convenience. The Japanese Privacy Policy is the authoritative version, and prevails if the two differ.
No account, no sign-in
These pages are readable without an account. We do not ask you for your name, email address, or payment details anywhere under /en.
What we measure
- Page analytics. We use Google Analytics and PostHog to count page views and understand which pages are read.
- Feed requests. When a reader application fetches
/en/feed.xml, we record the time of the request, the application's user-agent string, the referring page if one is sent, and how many items were served. We do this to know how many people read the feed. We do not store the IP address of feed requests. - Feedback form. At the bottom of the
/enpages there is an optional one-question form. If you send it, we store the option you chose (one of four), the one-line comment if you write one, the page you answered from, the website you came from (domain name only), your browser's user-agent string, and the time. To stop the same person sending it many times in a row, we also store a one-way hash of your IP address that changes every day; we delete that hash after 7 days, and we never store the IP address itself. We keep answers and comments for 12 months, then delete them. We do not publish answers, and the form does not ask for your name, email address, or anything else that identifies you.
What we publish about other people
The summaries describe the public professional activity of public figures and creative works — announcements, streams, releases, events. They are written only from sources that are already public and are linked under every entry. We do not gather private information, and we do not cover private individuals.
If you are featured here, or represent someone who is, and you want an entry corrected or removed, email us and we will act on it.
