Thank you for visiting. Segaijin (世外人) is a small personal blog about Showa-era songs and daily life in Japan, written in English (https://segaijin.com). Here is a gentle explanation of what we collect and how we use it, so you can visit with peace of mind.
What we collect
Comments. When you leave a comment, we receive what you type in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser information to help prevent spam. An anonymous string made from your email address may be sent to Gravatar to check whether you have a profile picture. Once approved, your profile picture is shown publicly next to your comment.
Contact. Your name, email address, and message sent through our contact page are used only to reply to you. We do not share them with third parties without your consent.
Cookies. When commenting, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in your browser for convenience (kept for one year). You can turn cookies off in your browser settings at any time.
Analytics. To improve this blog, we use services such as Google Analytics to understand which pages are visited, in a form that does not identify you personally. These services may use cookies. Please see Google’s privacy policy for details.
Affiliate links
This blog takes part in affiliate programs such as CDJapan, and may also take part in others, such as Apple Music and Amazon Associates. As an affiliate, I may earn a small commission from qualifying purchases. When you shop through a link in an article, it becomes a small, kind way of supporting this blog, and the price you pay stays exactly the same. I only introduce things I truly like and would happily recommend. Thank you so much for being here! A-RI-GA-TO GO-ZA-I-MA-SU!
Photos
Most photos on this blog are taken by the blog owner, and uploaded with care to avoid including location data. Please do not reuse them without permission. Some photos come from free stock photo sites such as Pexels, and the photographer is always credited beneath the picture.
Embedded content
Some articles include music players or pins from services such as Spotify, YouTube, and Pinterest. When you view a page with this kind of content, those services may set their own cookies and receive information such as your IP address, in the same way as if you visited their sites directly. Please see each service’s privacy policy for details.
