What we collect

Japan Buy Scout does not ask you to create an account or submit personal information to use the shopping guides. We collect limited, non-identifying usage data to understand how the site is used.

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC, to measure page views and clicks on outbound retailer links. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as the pages you visit, approximate location, device and browser type. This data is processed by Google under its own privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy). You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by blocking cookies in your browser.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links, including links via the eBay Partner Network and Moshimo Affiliate (for Rakuten Ichiba). When you click one, the retailer or affiliate network may set cookies to record that you came from Japan Buy Scout, so that we can earn a commission if you make a purchase. These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective retailer or network. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
