Privacy Policy
Effective June 14, 2026 · Contact: privacy@kanjitopia.com
Information Kanjitopia handles
- Kanji-learning requests and technical information needed to operate and secure the website.
- Gallery submissions, including the creation title, creator name or nickname, optional country and age, uploaded image, consent, and a shortened cryptographic hash derived from the submitting IP address for abuse prevention.
- Shop product, inventory, and administrative records created by authorized staff.
- When sales open, order and fulfillment information needed to provide purchased products. Payment card details will be handled by the hosted payment provider and not stored by Kanjitopia.
- Local browser storage used for preferences, carts, and application features.
- If you choose “Share missed words” in Kanji-Improv, individual unrecognized lowercase words are recorded to help improve Kuroko. The full prompt is not included.
Purposes
Information is used to provide and improve Kanjitopia, process and moderate gallery submissions, secure services, prevent abuse, operate the shop, fulfill customer requests, maintain required records, and communicate about orders or support.
Service providers
Kanjitopia uses service providers including Amazon Web Services for hosting and data storage, Zoho Mail for human email, and Stripe for hosted payment processing when checkout is activated. Providers process information under their own terms and security practices.
Sharing and retention
Kanjitopia does not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers when required to operate the service, comply with law, prevent harm, or complete a customer request. Gallery submissions approved for publication are intentionally made public. Records are retained only as reasonably needed for their purpose, security, legal obligations, recovery, and dispute handling.
Your choices and requests
You may request access, correction, or deletion of applicable personal information by emailing privacy@kanjitopia.com. Kanjitopia may need to verify the request and may retain information where legally or operationally required.
Changes
This policy will be updated before KANJI-SHOP begins accepting orders and whenever Kanjitopia's data practices materially change.
