Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Kaigo News ("we", "us" or "our") collects, uses and protects information when you visit kaigonews.com (the "Site"). We are committed to handling personal information responsibly and to collecting no more of it than we need.

Information we collect

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers automatically record certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, the pages you view, the address of the page that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used to operate, secure and improve the Site.

Information you give us. The Site does not require you to create an account, and we do not offer comments or other features that ask for your personal details. If you contact us by email, we will receive your email address, your name if you provide it, and the contents of your message.

Cookies and similar technologies. We use a small number of cookies that are necessary for the Site to function securely. We may also use analytics or advertising services that set their own cookies. Our Cookie Policy explains this in more detail.

How we use information

We use the information described above to:

• deliver, maintain and secure the Site, including detecting and preventing abuse, fraud and technical problems;
• understand how readers use the Site so that we can improve our content and performance;
• respond to your messages, correction requests and enquiries; and
• comply with our legal obligations and enforce our Terms and Conditions.

We do not sell your personal information.

Third-party services

We may use trusted third-party providers to host the Site, measure its audience and, where applicable, serve advertising. These providers may collect information about your use of the Site in accordance with their own privacy policies. The Site also links to external websites, including social media platforms; we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.

Data retention

Server logs are kept only for as long as needed for security, troubleshooting and analysis, after which they are deleted or anonymized. Emails you send us are kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of follow-up.

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the Site. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including the right to access it, correct it, have it deleted, object to or restrict certain processing, and, where applicable, opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Residents of California and other U.S. states with consumer privacy laws, and of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom, may have additional rights under those laws. To make a request, email [email protected] with "Privacy" in the subject line. We will respond within the time required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Children's privacy

The Site is a general-audience news publication and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the Site.
