Privacy
You don't need an account or to give us any personal details to use this site. We only use what you send us, and only for the reason you sent it.
Who runs this site
Tabeyo Gluten-Free Japan is run independently by a Tokyo-based editor.
Kept on your device only
Saved places, recently viewed places and your staff-card choice (wheat allergy, coeliac disease and so on) are stored in your browser on this device (localStorage) and never sent to us. If you sort a list by "Nearest to me", your location is only used on your device to work out distances; it isn't sent or stored. A share link contains only the IDs of the places on your list.
Visit statistics
We don't count visits yet. If we start, we'll use a method that sets no cookies and doesn't identify you (Cloudflare Web Analytics), and say so here.
What you send us
- Correction and feedback form: kept in our private work tracker (GitHub) so we can check and fix things. A reply address, if you give one, is used only to reply.
- Email sign-up: not open yet (preview). The question on how strict you need to be is optional and only helps us decide which guide to make first. We don't ask about medical conditions.
- Payments: nothing is on sale yet.
If you buy a guide
Nothing is on sale yet. Before sales begin, we'll list here what the payment service passes to us (name, email, country, what you bought) and why.
How long we keep it, and deleting it
We delete what you send through our forms within a year of dealing with it. To have it deleted sooner, tell us through the form. Sales records are kept for as long as tax law requires.
Hosting, and data stored outside Japan
This site is served by Cloudflare, which, like any web host, logs connection details such as IP addresses. Form messages are stored with GitHub (USA), email sign-ups with our email service and payments with our payment service. These keep data on servers outside Japan, including in the USA, where privacy rules differ from Japan's.
Seeing, correcting or deleting your data
To see, correct, stop the use of, or delete your information, ask through the form. We'll confirm it's you and act without delay. What you send is stored where only the people who need it for the work can see it. To reach the operator, use the form.
Other services
Fonts come from Google Fonts, and the map page loads its map from OpenFreeMap when you open it. Like any website, these services receive your device's IP address. Forms use Cloudflare Turnstile against spam.
