This Privacy Policy explains how Mama knows Japan (https://mamaknowsjapan.com) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit this site.
Information we collect
If you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser user agent string to help detect spam. If you use the contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide so we can reply. If you upload images, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract it.
Cookies
This site may use cookies to remember comment details and keep you signed in if you have an account. You can control cookies through your browser settings. (Analytics cookies are described separately under Analytics below.)
Advertising and affiliate links
This site may display advertisements and include affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads that are relevant to you. Their own privacy policies govern how they handle your data.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics (GA4), provided by Google, to analyse how visitors use this site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as the pages you visit, how long you spend on them, and how you arrived at this site. This data is collected in aggregate and is used to understand which content is helpful and to improve this site; it is not used to identify individual readers. For details on how Google collects and processes data, please see Google’s Privacy Policy. You can disable Google Analytics by changing your browser’s cookie settings or by installing Google’s official opt-out browser add-on.
Embedded content from other sites
Posts on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos or images) from other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited that other website, and it may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with it.
How long we keep your data
Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognised automatically. Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to respond. Registered users’ profile information is kept until the user edits or deletes it.
Your rights and contact
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request a copy of your personal data or ask us to delete it, except for data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons. For privacy questions, please use the contact form on this site.
