Privacy and Analytics
Effective: August 9, 2026
Your tool inputs
Name, form-message, form-field, character-width, character-count, address, date, era, and phone-number tools run in your browser. Those inputs are not intentionally uploaded to or stored by Tools For Japan. Avoid entering information you do not need to process.
Postal code lookup
The Postal Code Lookup sends the seven-digit postal code you enter to ZipCloud so it can return the matching locality from its copy of Japan Post’s published postal data. Tools For Japan does not send names, building details, or complete street addresses with that request and does not store the lookup result.
Optional Google Analytics
Google Analytics is disabled until you choose “Accept analytics.” If accepted, Google Analytics may collect usage information such as pages viewed, interactions, approximate location, and browser or device information. Google may use cookies such as _ga to distinguish visitors. We use this information to understand aggregate usage and improve the tools; we do not use Google Ads features on this site.
You can decline analytics or change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” button. Declining does not affect the tools. Your consent choice is saved in your browser’s local storage so the site can remember it.
Hosting and security data
The website is hosted by Cloudflare. Like other web hosts, Cloudflare may process technical request data—such as IP address, request time, browser information, and security signals—to deliver and protect the service.
Service providers and retention
Google processes Analytics data under its own terms and privacy practices. Cloudflare processes hosting and security data under its own terms and privacy practices. ZipCloud processes postal-code lookup requests under its API terms and privacy practices. Analytics retention follows the settings configured for the Tools For Japan Google Analytics property; hosting and security records follow Cloudflare’s applicable retention settings.
Your choices and questions
You may use all tools without accepting analytics. You can also clear the site’s local storage and cookies in your browser. For a privacy question or request, email privacy@toolsforjapan.com.
