Personal data collected.

We collect personal data from you through our interactions with you and when you share it with us through, or in connection with, but not limited to, the Site, our services and surveys. For example, you may share your personal data when you open an account on our Site, sign up to our newsletter, submit an inquiry, book a tour, file a complaint or publish a review.

We may produce anonymous data from your personal data and other individuals’ personal data by making the data non-identifiable to any person. We may use that anonymous data for our business activity.

Also, you may share personal data from a third party. For example, you may provide the name, email address and telephone number of a tour participant or tour service provider. In those cases, you are responsible for getting authorization from those third parties to share their personal data with us and to give us permission to collect and process their personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

You may find below a list of the ways in which we collect personal data from you and what we use that information for.

Where is your data stored?

The personal data that we collect from you is stored in Japan.

We employ administrative, technical, and physical security measures to prevent loss, manipulation and unauthorized access to your personal data. However, due to the nature of the online activity it is not possible to ensure that it will be fully secure or error-free. While we strive to maintain high privacy standards, we cannot guarantee the full security of your personal information. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any personal data to us.

Data retention.

For example, when we share personal data among the travellers, the guides and/or the travel agents for the purpose of delivering a booking and coordinating the tour. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the users of the Site. The terms of the privacy policies of such users apply to the disclosure of any personal data provided to them;
