International data transfers

We are located in Japan, and the information we collect is primarily processed in Japan. Through the external services described in this policy (such as Firebase, Google Analytics, and advertising partners), the information may be transferred to and processed on servers outside your country or region, including the United States.

When we transfer personal information of users in the EEA or the United Kingdom outside those regions, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), unless the destination country or region is covered by an adequacy decision.

Data Retention

We retain collected information only for the period necessary to achieve the purposes of use, and we promptly delete it once it is no longer needed.

Your Rights

In accordance with the laws applicable in your region, you may request that we disclose, correct, add to, delete, suspend the use of, or stop providing to third parties the personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the contact information at the end of this page.

If you are in the EEA or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights under the GDPR and other applicable laws.

  • The right to request access to, rectification of, or erasure of your personal information
  • The right to request restriction of processing and to object to processing
  • The right to data portability (receiving your personal information in a structured, machine-readable format)
  • The right to withdraw your consent at any time for processing based on consent (withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal)
  • The right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country

If you reside in certain US states, you may have the right under the laws of your state to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. However, providing advertising identifiers and similar information to advertising providers for ad delivery may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under some state laws. You can opt out of this at any time by turning off tracking for our services from your device's Settings app > Privacy & Security > Tracking, or from "Privacy Settings" on the Settings screen of our services.
