Privacy Policy

Tokumeshi (hereinafter "this site") recognizes the importance of users' personal information and strives to protect it.

Through the contact form and the deal submission form, this site may collect personal information such as your name and email address. Any personal information obtained is used only for responding to inquiries, verifying submitted content, and improving our service.

We manage personal information appropriately and, except as required by law, will not provide it to third parties without the individual's consent.

When you post a review, we automatically collect the following information to prevent spam and maintain the integrity of the service.

• IP address (hashed): The poster's IP address is irreversibly hashed with SHA-256 before being stored. The original IP address is never stored. It is used for rate limiting (preventing excessive posting from the same IP). Because the hash salt is changed monthly, tracking across months is not possible.
• User-Agent information: We store the type and version of your browser. It is used for bot detection and spam prevention.
• Spam score: We automatically evaluate the content of a post and record a score used to flag potentially spammy posts for review.

This information is used solely to prevent misuse and maintain service quality, and is never provided to third parties.
