Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 19, 2026 · Last updated: July 19, 2026

Japanese with Yoshiki collects only the information reasonably needed to answer inquiries, arrange and provide lessons, process payments, communicate with parents, and meet legal obligations.

Information We May Collect

• Parent or adult student name and contact details
• Child’s first name or preferred name, age, interests, and Japanese experience
• Timezone, availability, lesson notes, attendance, and progress information
• Inquiry details submitted through Google Forms and messages sent through Instagram, Facebook, or another agreed contact channel
• Payment status and transaction reference supplied by the payment provider
• Technical information normally recorded by hosting or security providers, such as IP address, browser type, and request logs

Japanese with Yoshiki does not collect or store full payment-card numbers. Payments are handled by the selected payment provider.

How Information Is Used

• To respond to questions and check suitable lesson times
• To tailor lessons to the student’s age, needs, and interests
• To send lesson links, reminders, and written progress reports
• To process purchases, refunds, and accounting records
• To protect the service, prevent misuse, and comply with legal obligations

Children’s Information

Contracts, payments, and routine communication for children are handled through a parent or legal guardian. Children should not contact Yoshiki through personal social-media accounts. Information about a child is kept to the minimum needed to provide the lesson.

Sharing and Service Providers

Information may be processed by services needed to operate the lessons, such as Cloudflare for website delivery, Google Forms and Google Drive for inquiry submission and response storage, Stripe or another payment provider, Zoom for video lessons, and the communication service selected by the parent. Each provider handles information under its own terms and privacy policy. Information is not sold.

Photos, Video, Reviews, and Recording

A child’s name, image, lesson screenshot, video clip, or review will not be published without specific, recorded permission from the parent or guardian. Permission may be withdrawn by contacting Yoshiki. The general lesson-recording policy is still awaiting owner confirmation and will be explained before any recording takes place.

Retention and Security

Reasonable organizational and technical steps are used to protect information. Information is kept only as long as needed for lessons, customer support, accounting, legal obligations, or dispute handling, then deleted or anonymized where practical.

Your Choices

You may ask what personal information is held about you or your child and request correction or deletion, subject to legal record-keeping requirements. Use the contact page. Identity may need to be confirmed before a request is completed.

Changes to This Policy

Material changes will be shown on this page with a revised update date.

Owner confirmation required before publication: Confirm the final data-retention periods, recording practice, and the complete list of third-party services used for scheduling, lessons, and payment.
