Effective Date: April 29, 2025

Last Updated: March 27, 2026

Welcome to JLPT HUB (accessible at https://www.jlpthub.com/). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information and the measures we take to ensure your data remains secure while using our Japanese language learning platform.

1. Data Collection Philosophy

JLPT HUB is a “Privacy-First” platform.

No Account Required: We do not require users to register, log in, or create a profile to access our N5–N1 study materials.

No Personal Identification: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses from our visitors.

No Input Forms: We do not use contact forms or surveys that store personal user data on our servers.

2. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

This website uses Google AdSense to serve advertisements. As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies to serve ads on our site.

DART Cookies: Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to JLPT HUB and/or other sites on the Internet.

Opt-Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

3. Analytics & Cookies

While JLPT HUB does not set its own tracking cookies, we use third-party tools to improve user experience:

Google Analytics: We use this to monitor aggregate, non-personally identifiable traffic patterns (e.g., browser type, language preference, and pages visited). This helps us understand which JLPT levels are most popular.

Log Files: Like most websites, we automatically gather certain information such as IP addresses (anonymized), ISP, and date/time stamps to analyze trends and administer the site.

4. California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) / CCPA

In compliance with CCPA, we confirm:

We do not sell any user personal information (as we do not collect it).

Users can navigate our site anonymously.

5. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we act as a Data Controller for the minimal technical data processed. Since we do not collect personal identifiers, your right to be forgotten is inherently protected. You may manage cookie consents via your browser settings at any time.

6. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

JLPT HUB is designed for students of all ages. However, we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If a parent believes that such data has been inadvertently provided via email correspondence, please contact us immediately for deletion.

7. External Links

Our blog may contain links to external sites (e.g., official JLPT registration sites). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party websites.
