Information Not Collected by This Website

The current website implementation does not include a contact form, comment feature, user account feature, payment feature, or newsletter signup. The navigation item "Contact" is not a standalone web form.

If you communicate with us by email or telephone, we may process the information you provide in that communication for reply, contact, business recordkeeping, and legal compliance. This is not information collected through a form on this website.

Web Server Logs

This website is operated as a static site on Apache. The web server may record log data such as date and time, request URL, IP address, user agent, referrer, and HTTP status for site delivery, troubleshooting, security, and access statistics.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website's own code does not show ordinary-page-load use of cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, or IndexedDB. However, third-party embedded content in republished articles, or third-party content loaded after user action, may use cookies or similar technologies under that third party's terms.

Embedded Content and External Services

The YouTube video on the top page is shown first as a locally stored thumbnail. The youtube-nocookie.com iframe is loaded only after the user chooses to play the video.

Article pages republished from sakimura.org may contain external images, YouTube iframes, Twitter/X scripts, and external links that were present in the original article body. When such a page is viewed or such content is used, the user's browser may send requests to those external services.

The top page includes an external link to Facebook. If the user follows that link, the user leaves this website and visits Facebook.

Purposes

• Delivering, maintaining, troubleshooting, and securing this website
• Preparing access statistics based on web server logs
• Displaying content, including republished articles
• Responding to communications received by email or telephone
• Handling legal obligations or requests from public authorities

Sharing and Processors

The website's own implementation does not show Analytics, Tag Manager, advertising, or external web font loading. Service providers involved in server operation, maintenance, or security may handle logs or related data where necessary.

When third-party embedded content or external links are used, the user's browser sends requests to those third parties. Their own privacy notices apply to their processing.

Retention

Web server logs are retained for site operation, troubleshooting, security, and access statistics. Under the current server configuration, Apache logs are rotated daily and 45 rotated generations are retained. Including the current log file, the practical maximum retention period is approximately 46 days. Information received by email or telephone is retained as needed for response, business recordkeeping, and legal compliance.

Security Measures

We manage the static site files, imported source data, and deployment procedure using Git, limit access as appropriate, use HTTPS, and handle server logs only as needed for site operation, security, and access statistics.

Your Rights and Requests

To request access, correction, suspension of use, deletion, or other rights available under applicable law, please contact us using the contact details above. We may ask for information needed to verify the requester and identify the relevant data.

Some Blog pages on this website republish selected articles from sakimura.org. The authoritative and latest version is the original article on sakimura.org. Republished article pages show the original article URL and set the canonical URL to the original sakimura.org article. Republishing article content does not mean that comments, inquiries, accounts, access logs, or other personal data are shared with sakimura.org.
