Last updated: 2026/03/11

This Privacy Policy explains how VisitDoctorJapan handles information in connection with your use of the website and any related tools, including self-service organizational tools such as the Claim Kit.

  1. About This Website

VisitDoctorJapan is operated by Tatsu Wakabayashi (若林達), a medical translator and a graduate of Kyoto University, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

This website provides practical information about seeking medical care in Japan and may also provide self-service tools to help users organize records for their own reference.

  1. No Medical, Legal, or Insurance Advice

This website does not provide medical diagnosis, medical advice, legal advice, insurance advice, or claim-representation services.

  1. Information You Enter into Claim Kit or Similar Tools

If you use the Claim Kit or similar browser-based tools, information you enter may be stored locally in your browser on your own device, for example through browser local storage, so that your draft can remain available when you return.

Based on the current design of the tool, the information you enter is intended to remain on your device unless and until you choose to export, copy, print, upload, email, or otherwise share it yourself.

Please do not use shared or public devices if you are concerned about privacy.

  1. Files You Choose to Load or Export

If you choose to load a JSON file, export a JSON or CSV file, copy a summary, or print or save a PDF, that processing is intended to occur on your device for your convenience.

You are responsible for reviewing, storing, deleting, transmitting, and protecting any exported or copied data.

  1. Server, Hosting, and Technical Logs

Like most websites and web applications, this site and related tools may be hosted by third-party infrastructure or hosting providers.

As a result, technical data such as IP address, user agent, timestamps, request paths, referrer information, and similar server or security logs may be processed by those providers for site delivery, security, debugging, and operational purposes.

  1. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for basic site functionality, security, performance, or user experience.

At present, the site is not intended to use comments, user logins, or user accounts.

If analytics, advertising, contact forms, newsletter tools, or additional third-party services are added in the future, this Privacy Policy should be updated accordingly.

  1. Analytics

If analytics tools are enabled in the future, this website may collect aggregated or pseudonymous usage information such as page views, referrers, browser type, operating system, approximate location, and similar traffic data.

Any such use should be described in this Privacy Policy once enabled.

  1. Embedded Content and External Services

Articles or pages on this website may include embedded content or links from third-party websites or services.

Those third-party websites or services may collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interaction with their content according to their own policies. This website does not control how third parties collect or use data.

  1. Who We Share Data With

The operator does not intentionally sell visitor data.

Data may be processed by service providers involved in hosting, security, content delivery, analytics, or similar operational functions, to the extent reasonably necessary to run the website or its tools.

  1. How Long Data Is Retained

Information stored locally by browser-based tools may remain on your device until you clear it, overwrite it, or remove it yourself.

Technical logs retained by hosting or infrastructure providers are governed by those providers’ systems and retention practices.

If direct contact methods are added in the future, messages will be retained only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, follow up, or maintain records.

  1. Your Choices

You may choose not to use browser-based tools, not to enter sensitive information, not to export files, and not to share generated outputs.

You may also clear local browser storage on your own device at any time, subject to your browser settings.

  1. Children

This website is not specifically directed to children.

  1. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in site functionality, hosting, legal requirements, or third-party services.
