Privacy policy.

Last updated November 10, 2026

The short version: this is a static editorial site. We collect almost nothing, and nothing silently.

Who we are

japanbonsaiedit.com ("JAPAN BONSAI EDIT", "we") is operated by AKIMA Inc. (株式会社AKIMA), a company registered in Japan.

What we collect

• Server and security logs. Our site is served through a hosting and content-delivery provider (Cloudflare), which processes technical data such as IP addresses and request headers to deliver pages and prevent abuse. We do not use this data to identify visitors.
• Newsletter email address. Only if you choose to subscribe. We use it solely to send the newsletter, and every issue carries an unsubscribe link. Until a newsletter provider is connected, the signup form stores nothing.
• Nothing else. No accounts, no comments, no tracking pixels of our own.

Cookies and analytics

As of the date above, this site sets no first-party cookies and runs no advertising trackers. If we adopt privacy-respecting analytics or add affiliate links whose networks use cookies to attribute purchases, we will update this policy and the disclosure policy before or at the time of the change.

Affiliate links (future)

When affiliate links are introduced, clicking one takes you to a seller whose site operates under its own privacy policy, and the affiliate network may set a cookie in your browser to attribute a purchase. That attribution tells us a sale occurred; it does not give us your name, address or payment details.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under the EU/UK GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data we hold. Since we hold at most your newsletter address, exercising them is simple: unsubscribe, or contact us and we will delete the address.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes and contact

Material changes to this policy will be dated at the top of this page. Contact details are published on our About page.
