Privacy Policy

Fuka Fun Japanese · Last updated: November 1, 2026

This page explains what happens to the information you give me on my Japanese Level Check, on my withdrawal page, and by email. Fuka Fun Japanese is run by me, Fuka, a sole trader in Japan. Contact: hello@fukafunjapanese.com.

What I collect and why

• Your nickname, email address, level (1 to 5) and when you last took the check. I use them to show your result and email you the free phrasebook. You need to enter them to see your result. Your yes/no answers aren't sent anywhere, only your level.
• Your choice about emails. The box Send me Japanese tips, seasonal news, and product recommendations by email. Unsubscribe anytime. is unticked unless you tick it. If you tick it, I keep a record that you agreed, when, and which version of the sentence you saw, and I send you those emails. You get your result and the phrasebook either way. Leaving the box unticked later doesn't cancel an earlier yes. Use the unsubscribe link instead.
• Anti-spam checks. The form sends a hidden field that should stay empty, and the result of a bot check.
• If you withdraw from a purchase (EU and UK). The withdrawal page sends me your name, email address, the books, and any purchase date, order number and checkout email you enter, with the time you sent it. I use them to handle your withdrawal and refund, and to email you a copy of your withdrawal.

I don't sell your information, and I don't share it with advertisers.

Legal basis (EU and UK)

• Your result and the phrasebook: to provide what you asked for (a contract with you).
• Tips, news and recommendations: your consent. You can withdraw it at any time with the unsubscribe link in each email. This doesn't affect emails sent before.
• Anti-spam checks: my legitimate interest in keeping bots out.
• Withdrawals: to meet my legal obligations under consumer law, and to keep a record in case of a dispute.

Services I use

• systeme.io (ITACWT Limited, Ireland) stores your details and sends my emails. It may record whether you open an email or click a link. Privacy policy
• Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., United States) runs the bot check on the forms (Turnstile), passes your level check form to systeme.io, and passes withdrawals and emails sent to hello@ to my inbox. It uses your IP address and browser details for the bot check and to limit repeated sends. Privacy policy
• Google (Gmail) holds my inbox. Withdrawals you send and emails you send me are stored there. Privacy policy
• Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc., United States) emails you the copy of your withdrawal. It receives your name, email address and the details of your withdrawal, and keeps its records in the United States. Privacy policy
• Netlify hosts this website, and Google Fonts provides its font, so they receive your IP address when you open the page.
• Payhip runs my shop and Stripe processes card payments. When you buy a book, they receive your purchase details directly from you and keep them under their own policies.

These services may handle your information outside your country, including in the United States. For these transfers, the data processing addendums of Cloudflare and Resend include the EU standard contractual clauses and, for the UK, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

How long I keep it

• If you ticked the box: until you unsubscribe.
• If you didn't: I remove your details from my contact list by 2 years after you last take the level check.
• If you unsubscribe or ask me to delete your details, I remove them from my contact list within 30 days.
• If you withdraw from a purchase (EU and UK), I keep a record of your request for 3 years.
• Payhip and Stripe keep their purchase records under their own policies.
• After I remove your details from my contact list, systeme.io keeps them in its bin for 30 days, then deletes them for good.

Your rights

To have your information deleted, email me at hello@fukafunjapanese.com. You can also ask me there to show you, correct or copy your information, or to stop using it. There's no fee. You can complain to the data protection authority where you live.

For people in Japan

I handle your information as Fuka Fun Japanese. If you ask by email, I'll tell you my full name and address without delay, and how I keep your details safe. Your level check details are stored in systeme.io, which keeps them in Ireland, in the EU. Japan recognises the EU as protecting personal information to the same standard as Japan. Your form passes through Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States on its way there. Withdrawals and emails you send me are stored in my Gmail inbox (Google). If you ask, I'll tell you how your details are protected there. For privacy questions or complaints, email me at hello@fukafunjapanese.com.

Changes

If I change this policy, I'll update this page and the date at the top.
