1. Introduction
Welcome to Are You OK? – Japan Travel Support (hereinafter "JTS"). We are committed to being transparent about how this application operates and how minimal technical data is handled during your visit.
By using JTS, you agree to the practices described in this policy. As with our companion site The Japan Rules, we prioritize data restraint—collecting only what is necessary to keep the application functional and accessible.
2. Information We Collect
JTS does not require user accounts or registration. We may collect standard server log data, such as IP addresses, browser types, and access times, solely for security monitoring and service maintenance purposes.
If analytics tools are implemented in the future, any data collected will be aggregated and will not personally identify you. This policy will be updated accordingly at that time.
3. Audio & Browser Permissions
JTS uses your device's audio output to play Japanese phrases when you tap a button. This feature does not record, capture, or transmit any audio from your device. No microphone access is requested or used.
Phrase playback relies on standard browser audio APIs. No personal data is collected as part of this interaction.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
We may use essential cookies or browser local storage to maintain a consistent experience across sessions, such as preserving interface preferences. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to external servers.
You can manage or clear these through your browser settings. Core features of JTS will remain accessible regardless.
5. External Services
JTS includes links to third-party services, including The Japan Rules (TJR) and Buy Me a Coffee. These services operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them before interacting with those platforms. We do not share any data with these services.
6. Emergency Contact Information
JTS displays emergency contact information for use in Japan. This data is static and publicly available. We do not collect or process any information related to how or whether you use these contacts.
7. Children's Privacy
JTS is intended for use by travelers of all ages visiting Japan. We do not knowingly collect any personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our service, please contact us so we can address it promptly.
8. Future App Versions
If JTS is released as a native mobile application (iOS/Android) in the future, this privacy policy will be reviewed and updated to reflect any additional data practices specific to those platforms, such as device permissions or app store requirements.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any significant changes will be reflected here, and continued use of JTS constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
