Your Japan Private Tours is committed to protecting the Personal Information you share with us (Ian Martin Ropke: founder and owner). Please take a moment to review this Privacy Policy. By using our website or the services offered by us, you are consenting to our use of such personal information as you provide to us as described herein.

We do not share your information with other clients or with other travel organizations (in Japan or elsewhere). We do not compile email lists of any kind for marketing purposes. We do not use cookies on our website. And we don't have any ads of any kind on our website. None!

We keep your information private and only use it to facilitate the services you have requested in Japan (and sometimes South Korea).

If you do not consent to our use of your information, please do not use our services. Any questions you have about our Privacy Policy, or the information contained herein can be directed to our contact email address: yourjapanprivatetours AT gmail DOT com. Thank you!

What personal information do we collect?

Personal information is defined by your local data protection laws, and we strictly follow the best practices of our industry segment (private tours & private travel services). Generally, the personal information we collect about you is the information required to facilitate your travel arrangements and bookings and to arrange travel related services and/or products on your behalf.

We therefore typically receive and use the following types of personal information about you:

  • 1. Contact information (such as name, telephone number, email address)

  • 2. Passport details for making reservations with the Imperial Household Agency of Japan (for entering any of Japan’s 5 imperial villas).

  • 3. Payment information (credit card details, including card type, card number, security number and expiry date).

  • 4. Information about your dietary requirements and health issues (if any).

In some circumstances, we may collect personal information from you which may be regarded as sensitive information under your local data protection laws. Sensitive information may include your racial or ethnic origin, philosophical or religious beliefs or affiliations, and health information. We will only collect sensitive information in compliance with your local data protection laws, with your explicit consent and where it is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, one or more of our functions or activities (e.g. to make travel arrangements), unless we are otherwise required or authorized to do so by law. To the extent permitted or required under your local data protection laws, you consent to us using and disclosing your sensitive information for the purpose for which it was collected, unless we subsequently receive your consent to use it for another purpose.

If you have any concerns regarding the transfer of your personal information to a travel service provider, or you wish to contact us for further information, please see the Contact Us section of our website and email us the nature and details of your concerns.

Changes to our Policy

We may amend or revise this Policy from time to time, and these changes may also apply to your personal information collected under a previous version of this Policy. Your Japan Private Tours reserves the right to alter this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. It is your responsibility to keep up to date with any changes to this policy. If we make a change to the Policy, we will notify you via a notice online and the revised version will be posted on our website with the revision date.
