Privacy policy

Who we are

This site, Kana Desk, is operated by Ryuta (Tokyo, Japan). For any question about this policy or your data, contact ryuta151229@gmail.com.

What we collect

Information you give us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it to reply and nothing else. We don't add you to a mailing list without your explicit request.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our host records standard server logs: IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. These are used for security and to understand which pages are read.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies of its own, and runs no analytics.

Affiliate cookies

Links to Preply and italki are affiliate links. Clicking one allows that platform to place a cookie in your browser so it can attribute a later signup to us. Each cookie is set by that platform and governed by its own privacy policy: italki's lasts 30 days, Preply's lasts 30 days.

We do not receive your personal information from these platforms. What we see is aggregate: how many referrals converted, not who they were.

Controlling cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking third-party cookies does not affect your ability to read this site or to use the platforms we link to.

Third parties

We link to external websites, including tutoring platforms. Once you leave this site, this policy no longer applies and the destination site's own policy governs. We have no control over how those sites handle your data and encourage you to read their policies.

Data sharing

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We do not share your email address with third parties. Data may be disclosed if legally required.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing. This includes rights under the UK and EU GDPR and, for California residents, under the CCPA/CPRA — including the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them.

To exercise any of these, email ryuta151229@gmail.com. Since the only personal data we typically hold is correspondence you sent us, most requests can be handled quickly.

Children

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and it will be deleted.

Changes

If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted here with an updated date at the top.
