PRIVACY POLICY

Privacy policy

This policy describes how Saitama Odekake NAVI (“this site”) handles information about its users. This is a translation; if it differs from the Japanese version, the Japanese version prevails.

Personal information received through inquiries

Names, email addresses and messages received through inquiries (by email) are used only to answer the inquiry and contact you as needed. We do not provide them to third parties without your consent, except as required by law.

Advertising

This site uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service. Third-party vendors including Google use cookies to serve ads based on your past visits to this site and other sites.

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics, an analytics tool provided by Google (linked to our Firebase project). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as the pages you view, when you view them, your approximate region and your device and browser. We also record actions on this site: filters chosen on the map, words typed in the map and site search boxes and the number of results, what you open from search results, taps on buttons and links such as add to calendar, share, copy, official websites, shop pages, coupons and directions, related event links on event pages, which link in which section of the home page you tap, enlarging visit-note photos, subscribing to filtered calendars or RSS and the filters chosen, whether your location could be obtained, signing in to and adding to the “My list” feature and the method used, events and places added to or removed from a list, sending a list or joining a family list, and switching between Japanese and English. Page views include the page's language (Japanese or English), city or town and category, and for event pages whether the event was upcoming, ongoing or ended on the day you viewed it. Your actual location is not sent. The collected information does not include anything that identifies you personally, such as your name. We use it only to understand which information and features are used and to improve the site. We also use aggregated counts of people who viewed each event page (with no individual data) to show “Popular events” on the home page and the ranking page (/ranking/).

  • See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services for how data is collected and processed.
  • You can stop collection by Google Analytics by disabling cookies in your browser or using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • We also use Google Search Console to see the search terms for which this site's pages appeared in Google results and the number of impressions and clicks. This is aggregated by Google and contains no information that identifies searchers (no cookies from this site are used). We use it only to improve the site, for example for “Also known as” names on event pages.

Google Maps

This site uses Google Maps (Google Maps Platform) to display maps and to search for restaurants, convenience stores, parking and parks near event venues. Google may collect information about you when maps are displayed. See Google's privacy policy.

Restaurant photos

The food map loads restaurant photos from the servers of HOT PEPPER Gourmet (Recruit Co., Ltd.). When photos are displayed, your browser sends information such as your IP address and browser type to Recruit's servers. See Recruit Co., Ltd.'s privacy policy (Japanese).

Location

When you tap “Show my location”, we use your browser's location feature to get your current location and show it on the map (only if you allow it in your browser). If you have already allowed it, we also get it when you open a map. We do not ask for permission until you tap the button. The location is used only on your device to show the map and to filter nearby parks, hospitals and more (by calculating the distance from you); it is not sent to or stored on our servers. You can allow or deny location access at any time in your browser or device settings.

Weather forecasts

To show the weekend weather on the home page, your browser loads forecast data directly from the Japan Meteorological Agency's website (www.jma.go.jp). This sends connection information such as your IP address and browser type to the JMA's servers. This site does not receive the content of that connection.

Add-to-calendar and share buttons

The “Google Calendar” and “Send on LINE” buttons on event pages open Google Calendar or LINE only when tapped, passing the event's name, date, venue and page URL. No information is sent to these services unless you tap them. “Share via other apps” and “Copy URL” use your device's features and send nothing to this site.

Calendars and RSS feeds subscribed with filters from the event map include the chosen filters (city, category, for kids and so on, keyword) in the URL. Each time your calendar or RSS app refreshes, this URL is sent to this site (Firebase Cloud Functions) and recorded with access logs. The filters are used only to select matching events. When you tap “Add to Google Calendar”, this URL is passed to Google Calendar.

Visit-note photos

“Visit notes” on place pages are written by the operator after actual visits. Photos are taken by the operator, taking care not to show people's faces or car license plates. Photos are resized and location data (Exif) is removed before publishing. They are stored and delivered with Firebase (Google) Cloud Storage. If you would like something in a photo removed, please contact us at the address below.

The note posting page is for the operator only and requires the operator's Google account.

“My list” and sign-in

The “My list” feature (/list/) for saving events and places requires signing in. Sign-in uses Firebase Authentication (Google), with Google, Apple, LINE, email and password. This site does not receive passwords; they are managed by Firebase Authentication.

  • What we keep: the email address used to sign in, your name (the display name of the service or the nickname you entered), your user ID on each service, and the events and places on your list with the times they were added. When you sign in with LINE, we receive only your display name and user ID from LY Corporation, not your email address.
  • Where it is stored: Firebase (Google) Authentication and Cloud Firestore.
  • Purpose: only to show and save your list and let you edit it with family. It is not used for advertising or newsletters and is not provided to third parties.
  • Sharing with family: members who join through an invite link can see the list's contents and members' names (nicknames), but not email addresses. If you create a “view-only link”, anyone with the link can see the list's name and contents (not members' names). You can stop the link at any time with “Stop link”.
  • Browser storage: to keep you signed in, Firebase stores information in your browser (IndexedDB). To show “Want to go” status on detail pages, we also store whether you are signed in and the IDs of saved items in your browser (localStorage).
  • Deletion: “Delete account” on the list page deletes your sign-in information and the lists you created (including their contents) and removes you from family lists.

LINE official account

This site sends this weekend's events once a week via the LINE official account “埼玉おでかけNAVI” (in Japanese). When you add it as a friend, LY Corporation may provide this site with information such as your display name and profile image. We use this information only to send messages and do not provide it to third parties. To stop messages, block the account on LINE. See also LY Corporation's privacy policy.

Public Instagram posts

To collect event information, this site reads public posts on business Instagram accounts of tourism associations, facilities and the like through the Instagram API of Meta Platforms, Inc. The text of a post is used only to extract facts such as an event's name, date and venue with generative AI (Google Gemini), and the text itself is not stored (only a hash used to avoid re-reading the same post and the extracted facts are stored). Posts of personal accounts, comments and follower information are not collected. To request removal of published information, please use the contact details below. See also Meta's Platform Terms.

Access logs

This site is delivered with Firebase Hosting (Google) (filtered calendars and RSS are generated with Cloud Functions), and the servers record access logs such as IP addresses, browser types and access times. Access logs are used only to keep the site running stably and to respond to unauthorized access, not to identify individuals.

In addition, a mechanism that prevents malicious scripts (Content Security Policy) makes your browser automatically send a report to this site (Cloud Functions) when an unexpected script is about to load on a page. We record only the page location (excluding conditions such as search terms) and the source and type of the blocked script, and use them only to find site problems or tampering.

Disclaimer

For the accuracy of the information and liability for damages, see “Disclaimer & about the information” on the About page.

Changes to this policy

We may change this policy as needed. Changes take effect when posted on this page.
