Privacy Policy

We collect only what you give us and what your browser sends when you visit.

• Inquiry form: your name, email address and message. If you choose to add them, your phone number and country. If you start from a car page, we also receive the car’s name and the page address.
• Import guide sign-ups: your first and last name and email address, whether you asked for news by email, and which version of the site you used. For the PDF, also your phone number and the time you confirmed your email address.
• WhatsApp: if you message us, we see the number and name on your WhatsApp account and what you write. WhatsApp handles that data under its own privacy policy.
• Visit data: like most websites, our hosting provider records technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you request.

• To reply to your inquiry.
• To send you the import guide and, if you ask for it, emails about new cars and importing. Every one of those emails lets you unsubscribe.
• To find, buy and ship a vehicle for you, if you ask us to.
• To keep the website secure and working.
• To meet our legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We send marketing emails only to people who tick the box asking for them.

We share information only where we need to.

• Vercel, which hosts this website.
• FormSubmit, the service that delivers inquiry form messages to our email.
• Our email provider, which stores the messages we receive.
• Resend, which sends our emails, such as the guide download link.
• Google, where we keep the list of guide sign-ups in a Google Sheet.
• If you buy a car: our partner company Globalink, shipping lines, customs and other parties who need your details to prepare export documents and ship the vehicle.
• YouTube. Car pages with a video show a thumbnail loaded from YouTube. The video player loads only after you press play. YouTube may collect your IP address and other data under Google’s privacy policy.
• Public authorities, when the law requires us to.

This website does not use advertising or analytics cookies. If we add analytics later, we will update this page. When you sign up to read or download the import guide, we set cookies that remember it, so you don't have to sign up again. They are not used for tracking. We also remember which country version of the site you chose. YouTube may set cookies once you press play on a video.

We keep inquiry emails for as long as we need them to answer you, to complete any purchase and to meet legal and accounting requirements. After that we delete or anonymise them where we can. We keep guide sign-ups until you ask us to delete them.

We are in Japan. Our hosting and form services may process information in other countries, including the United States. We handle personal information in line with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information.

You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. We will respond as the law requires. To make a request, use the contact details below.
