Privacy Policy

Who we are

Nivora is an English-language information and comparison website for life in Japan. It is operated by Renize Inc. (株式会社Renize), a company established in Japan. We publish guides and curated links to help you find housing, communications services, and related resources. We do not sell those services ourselves, and we do not process applications, contracts, or payments on this site.

What information we collect

For ordinary browsing, we do not ask you to create an account or submit your name, address, or phone number through this website. The personal data involved in a typical visit is therefore limited.

We may automatically receive or store the following categories of information:

How we use information

We use the information described above to:

We do not use this data to make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about you.

Cookies, analytics, and local storage

We may use cookies and similar technologies for functional purposes, affiliate tracking, and analytics. For example, analytics tools may use cookies or similar technologies to collect aggregated usage statistics (such as page views and general geography), which help us understand how the site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may limit some features.

We may store language preferences and limited outbound click information in the browser (for example in localStorage) so the site can work smoothly and so we can improve our content. This information is not used to identify you by name on our systems.

Affiliate links and partner services

Some links on this site may be affiliate links. If you follow such a link and sign up for or purchase a service from a partner, Renize Inc. may receive a commission from that partner. This is at no extra cost to you in the way we present pricing. We link only to official provider or program pages we believe are relevant; offers and terms are always set by the partner on their own site.

We do not process applications, contracts, or payments on this site. Applications and transactions are completed on the official websites of partner providers, under their terms and privacy policies.

External links

Our pages may link to third-party websites we do not operate. Those sites have their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for their content, security, or data handling. Please review their policies before you submit personal information or enter into an agreement.

Data retention

Click history stored locally under nivora_lp_clicks_v1 is capped (for example at roughly 200 entries); older entries are removed as new ones are added. Server log retention depends on our hosting provider’s configuration. Analytics providers retain data according to their own policies and our settings.

Your rights (Japan)

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights under Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information, such as to request disclosure, correction, deletion, or suspension of use of personal information we hold. To exercise these rights or ask questions, contact us using the email address below. We will respond in line with applicable law.

Children’s privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
