Privacy Policy

HRZN LLC ("we", "us" or "our") recognizes that the proper protection and handling of personal data is an important responsibility and a core part of our business activities. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal data in connection with the NIGHT LIFE JAPAN website and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and agree to the handling of your personal data as described herein, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of NIGHT LIFE JAPAN, including:

• people browsing the Service to search for nightlife venues and related information,
• store owners, managers or staff whose venues are listed on the Service, and
• any other individuals who contact us or otherwise provide personal data in relation to the Service.

Additional notices or consents may apply for specific features (for example, contact forms, listing applications, or promotional campaigns). In such cases, those notices will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with this Privacy Policy.

In this Privacy Policy, "personal data" means information relating to a living individual which can identify that individual, either by itself or in combination with other information. This may include:

• store or company affiliation, position or role, and related business contact information;
• device identifiers, IP address, cookie identifiers, location information, and usage history when such data can be linked to an identifiable individual.

Information that cannot identify a specific individual (for example, fully anonymized statistical data) is not considered personal data.

We may collect personal data about you through the following methods:

• when you submit information directly to us, for example via contact forms, listing applications, inquiries about advertising, or other forms on the Service;
• when you communicate with us by email, social media, or other channels in relation to the Service;
• when we receive information from our business partners, such as advertising partners, analytics providers, or venue operators, in accordance with applicable laws and contracts;
• when we automatically collect certain technical data (such as IP address, browser type, access date and time, viewed pages, referrer URL, and cookie identifiers) through your use of the Service.

We collect personal data only by lawful and appropriate means and will limit the collection to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

• to operate, maintain and provide the Service, including displaying listings and related content;
• to respond to inquiries and requests from users, store operators and other related parties;
• to send notices and information related to NIGHT LIFE JAPAN and listed venues (for example, important updates, changes to terms or policies, or responses to your questions);
• to prevent, detect and respond to fraudulent, unauthorized or abusive use of the Service;
• to create aggregated or statistical data in a form that does not identify individuals, for the purpose of improving the Service and developing new features;
• to conduct surveys or campaigns related to the Service and manage their operation (including contacting winners, sending rewards, etc.);
• to comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from authorities.

If we wish to use your personal data for a purpose that is not described above, we will notify you of the new purpose and, where required by law, obtain your consent in advance.

We take necessary and appropriate security measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, destruction, falsification, and leakage.

• human measures: providing training to employees and contractors, and including confidentiality obligations in internal rules and contracts;
• technical measures: using technologies and tools to help protect systems and data, including access controls, encryption where appropriate, and protection against unauthorized access or malware.

We regularly review and improve our security measures in light of technological developments and the state of our operations.

We will not provide your personal data to third parties without your prior consent, except in the following cases where permitted by applicable law:

• when required by laws or regulations, or when we receive a legally binding request from a court or governmental authority;
• when it is necessary for the protection of the life, body or property of a person and it is difficult to obtain your consent;
• when it is particularly necessary for improving public health or promoting the sound growth of children and it is difficult to obtain your consent;
• when it is necessary to cooperate with a state or local government body, or a person entrusted by such body, in executing affairs prescribed by laws and regulations, and obtaining your consent may impede the execution of such affairs;
• when we provide personal data to service providers (processors) within the scope necessary to achieve the purposes of use described in this Privacy Policy, under appropriate contractual safeguards.

In the case of (li5), we will supervise such service providers as necessary and appropriate to ensure that personal data is handled safely.
