Log files

Like many other Web sites, WhatsMyJapaneseName.com makes use of log files. These files merely logs visitors to the site - usually a standard procedure for hosting companies and a part of hosting services's analytics. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. This information is used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement around the site, and gather demographic information. IP addresses, and other such information are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. These logs are kept for up to a month.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Third-party advertisers may also place and read cookies on your browser and/or use web beacons to collect information. WhatsMyJapaneseName.com has no access or control over these cookies. You should review the respective privacy policies on any and all third-party ad servers for more information regarding their practices and how to opt-out.

If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so through your web browser options. Instructions for doing so and for other cookie-related management can be found on the specific web browsers’ websites.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a web analytics tool we use to help understand how visitors engage with this website. It reports website trends using cookies and web beacons without identifying individual visitors. You can read more at the Google Analytics Privacy Overview.

Transliterations

When you transliterate a name on WhatsMyJapaneseName.com we store this name and the transliteration. We then publicly advertise this transliteration using a sitemap. A sitemap is a simply document that helps search engines such as Google to index a website. Search engines might show this transliteration as a search result upon searching the name that was used to create the transliteration. We do not store who transliterated what name. See www.sitemaps.org for more information about this technique.

Contact form

When using the contact form, users must submit a name and email address. To protect against SPAM we use a third party service called reCAPTCHA. You have to comply with the Google Privacy Policy in order to use this.

Your use of this site, in any and all forms, constitutes an acceptance of this Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy is reviewed and revised from time to time. You will want to revisit it regularly. When it does change, we’ll also change the “Last Updated” date at the bottom of the page.
