What we collect
This site is informational. It has no user accounts, no contact forms, no comment sections and no newsletter (except the optional company watchlist described below). We do not set cookies and we do not run third-party analytics or advertising scripts.
Watchlists (email notifications) — added 16 August 2026
The company watchlist is the one feature that stores personal data: the email address you enter, together with the list of company numbers you asked us to watch, the language you chose, and the time of creation/verification (plus the IP address of the request, kept for abuse prevention only). We use the address solely to send the confirmation link and the Monday notification emails; we never share it or use it for marketing. Lists that are not confirmed within 24 hours are deleted automatically. You can delete a list — and with it your email address — at any time from the manage link included in every email; deletion is immediate and complete. Emails are sent through Google's Gmail SMTP service (info@loreatec.jp), which acts as our processor for delivery.
The company data shown in notifications is public information from the National Tax Agency (invoice registry, corporate-number registry), the government Procurement Portal and METI's gBizINFO; it is not personal data of the recipient.
Server logs
Like virtually every website, our hosting provider (SAKURA internet Inc., Japan) records standard access logs — IP address, requested URL, timestamp, browser user-agent — for security and operations. Logs are kept for a limited period and are not used to identify visitors. The free APIs additionally keep a short-lived per-IP request counter, used only to enforce the published rate limits; it is deleted automatically and never shared.
External links
Tools and guides link to official Japanese sources and to the websites of companies mentioned, and some pages link to loreatec.jp, the site of this site's operator. Those sites have their own privacy policies; this policy does not cover them.
Company pages
Some long-standing pages show business information about companies (name, region, services, website) compiled from public sources. If your company appears and you want information corrected or removed, contact us via the LoreaTec contact page and we will honour the request.
