This Privacy Policy explains what information Seto Local Angler (jdmsetouchifishing.com) collects when you visit this website, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. If you have any questions, email us at hello@jdmsetouchifishing.com.
Who we are
This website is run by Seto Local Angler, based in Osaka, Japan. Seto Local Angler is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. You can contact us at hello@jdmsetouchifishing.com.
Information we collect
Information you give us
If you email us, we receive your email address and anything you include in your message. There are no comments, user accounts or sign-up forms on this website.
Information collected automatically
- Analytics: With your consent, we use Google Analytics (through Google’s Site Kit plugin) to understand how visitors use this website, such as which pages are read and how people find them. Google collects information like the pages you visit, your device and browser type, and your approximate location. IP addresses are anonymized. We see this information only in summary form.
- Consent choices: When you accept or decline cookies in our consent banner, we store your choice so we don’t ask you again on every page.
- Server and log data: Our hosting provider, Hostinger, processes technical data such as IP addresses, browser type and the pages requested, to deliver this website and keep it secure. We also use a caching tool (LiteSpeed Cache) to make pages load faster.
How we use your information
- To run, maintain and secure this website
- To understand which guides are useful and improve them
- To reply to your emails
- To track affiliate referrals, so we can earn a commission when you book through our links
- To meet our legal obligations
We don’t use your information to show you personalized ads.
Legal basis for processing (EEA, UK and Switzerland)
We use analytics cookies only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time. We process server data and affiliate referral data because we have a legitimate interest in running a secure website and earning referral commissions. We process your emails to answer your questions.
Affiliate links and booking widgets
Some links and booking widgets on this website are affiliate links. We work with the affiliate network Travelpayouts, and the links lead to partners such as Klook and KKday. If you click one and make a booking, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This doesn’t change what we write: we base our guides on official sources and say when something couldn’t be confirmed.
When you click an affiliate link, Travelpayouts and the partner may record that you came from this website, for example with cookies on their own sites. We don’t receive your name, contact details or payment details. Your booking is handled by the partner under its own terms and privacy policy.
Cookies and your consent
When you first visit, a consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Analytics cookies are not set until you accept. We also respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals from your browser.
For the full list of cookies we use, and to change or withdraw your consent at any time, see our Cookie Policy. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see Google’s explanation.
Who we share information with
- Service providers that help us run this website: Hostinger (hosting) and Google (analytics, with your consent)
- Affiliate partners (Travelpayouts and the booking sites it works with), only the referral information described above
- Authorities, if the law requires us to
We don’t sell your personal information for money.
International transfers
This website is run from Japan, and some of our service providers, such as Google, may process data in other countries, including the United States. This means your information may be transferred outside the country where you live.
How long we keep information
- Analytics data: Google Analytics keeps user-level data for 14 months and event-level data for 2 months under our settings
- Emails: we keep them only as long as we need to answer you, then delete them on request

The categories we collect are internet activity (pages viewed and device information through Google Analytics, with your consent) and identifiers (IP addresses processed by our host, and your email address if you contact us). We don’t sell your personal information for money. You can decline analytics cookies in our consent banner, and we honor Global Privacy Control signals.
