Privacy policy

How reader data is handled on this site.

Tattoo Friendly Japan is built as a calm editorial guide, not a data-heavy travel portal. This page explains what may be collected, why it may be collected, and what to expect when you leave this site for a booking partner or official source.

Site owner Tattoo Friendly Japan Editorial Team Last updated March 17, 2026

This site is an editorial travel guide. It is designed to answer travel questions before pushing a booking decision.

The site tries to collect as little reader data as reasonably possible for launch-stage operations.

When details can change, readers are asked to confirm the latest information with the official property or tourism source.

What may be collected

The launch version focuses on limited, practical data use.

Category What it can include Why it may be used
Basic visit data

Page views, referral source, browser or device type, approximate usage patterns, and broad location signals when analytics services are enabled.

To understand which guides are useful, which routes are confusing, and which pages need improvement.

CTA and navigation events

Aggregate click events for key on-site calls to action such as Start Here, archive navigation, and article-route links.

To improve wayfinding and understand which editorial paths help readers reach the right guide faster.

Affiliate click context

When a reader follows an affiliate or booking link, the destination service may set its own cookies or collect data under its own policy.

To support affiliate reporting and to understand whether outbound recommendations are useful.

Analytics and cookies

Measurement is meant to support editorial improvement, not personal profiling.

This site may use Google Analytics 4 and may also use Cloudflare Web Analytics in production. These services are intended to show broad patterns such as which guides are read, which entry pages bring in traffic, and which navigation routes are helping readers.

The site may also measure selected CTA clicks in aggregate so that weak wayfinding can be improved. That does not change the editorial rule: usefulness comes before monetization.

Affiliate links

When you leave this site, the next service applies its own policy.

Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you click one, the destination website may use cookies, tracking parameters, or other reporting tools under its own privacy policy and terms.

This site does not control the privacy practices of booking partners, official property sites, or tourism providers after you leave this domain.

Service overview

Current launch-stage services.

Ready to enable at launch

Google Analytics 4

Used to measure page views, general engagement, and selected CTA events in aggregate. It should not be used as a reason to collect more data than the site needs.

May be enabled in production

Cloudflare Web Analytics

Used for lightweight traffic reporting at the hosting layer. If enabled, it is intended to support broad page-performance and traffic monitoring rather than personal profiling.

External services

Affiliate and booking partners

If you leave this site via an affiliate or booking link, the destination site handles its own data practices and policies.

Your choices

What readers can do.

  • You can avoid using affiliate links and instead go directly to the official property or tourism source.
  • You can block or clear cookies through your browser settings, although that may affect how third-party services behave after you leave this site.
  • You can choose not to share optional information with external booking partners or providers.
Contact and updates

How to handle future changes.

Privacy-related questions should be handled through the contact method published on this website by the site operator, Tattoo Friendly Japan Editorial Team.

As the site adds services, affiliate partners, or reader features, this policy should be updated so the live site continues to match real operations.
