1. About this policy
This policy explains the cookies and similar device information used by the Site, and the information transmitted from users' devices to external providers (“external transmission” under Japan's Telecommunications Business Act). The handling of personal information in general is set out in the Privacy Policy.
3. Services involving external transmission
The Site uses the following analytics services to understand how it is used, and an embedded map (Google Maps) to show office locations. As a result, the following information is transmitted from users' devices to external providers.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Service / receiving provider | Google Analytics 4 / Google LLC |
| Information transmitted | URLs and referrers of pages viewed; date and time of the visit; interaction information such as clicks; device information such as screen size, browser type, and OS; and identifiers issued by Google (cookies: _ga, _ga_*, etc.) |
| Purpose of use | Analyzing how the Site is used and improving the user experience and site quality |
| How to opt out | Refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings, or use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. For Google's handling of this data, see “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services”. |
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Service / receiving provider | Microsoft Clarity / Microsoft Corporation |
| Information transmitted | URLs and referrers of pages viewed; browsing behavior such as clicks, scrolling, and mouse movement; device information such as screen size, browser type, and OS; and identifiers issued by Clarity (cookies: _clck, _clsk, etc.) |
| Purpose of use | Analyzing how the Site is used and improving the user experience and site quality |
| How to opt out | Refuse cookies in your browser settings, or delete the stored cookies (_clck, _clsk, etc.; see the next section). For Microsoft's handling of this data, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement. |
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Service / receiving provider | Google Maps (Maps Embed API) / Google LLC |
| Pages where it loads | Only the individual municipality pages of the Municipal Office Phone Directory. An embedded map showing the office location is loaded when you scroll to it (nothing is transmitted merely by opening the page). |
| Information transmitted | The location shown on the map (office name and address), IP address, the URL of the page being viewed, device information such as browser type, OS, and language, interactions with the map (panning, zooming, etc.), and identifiers (cookies) issued by Google on its own domains (google.com, etc.). No cookies are set on this Site's domain. |
| Purpose of use | Showing the office location on a map (we do not use it to collect or analyze your browsing information) |
| How to opt out | Blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings stops identification by cookies. Because displaying the map involves transmitting your IP address and similar data, do not scroll the map into view on those pages if you wish to avoid the transmission altogether (the address and phone number can be read without displaying the map). For Google's handling, see the Google Privacy Policy. |
The tags above are not loaded in the authenticated dashboard after login. If we introduce any other tags (such as advertising-related tags), we will list the receiving provider, the information transmitted, the purpose of use, and how to opt out on this page in advance.
External transmission that occurs in the course of handling calls (such as sending call audio to OpenAI) is treated separately from external transmission while you browse this site, and is described in Section 4 of the Privacy Policy (External transmission, outsourcing, and provision to third parties).
4. How to opt out
You can refuse cookies or delete stored cookies through your browser settings. Please refer to your browser's help pages for instructions. Note that disabling essential cookies may prevent some features of the Site from working properly.
The embedded Google Maps are loaded only when you scroll the map into view on a municipal office page. Transmission by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity can be stopped by deleting or refusing this Site's cookies (_ga, _clck, etc.) as described above, or by using the opt-out options for each service listed in the previous section.
5. Consent management
This page serves as a notice about the use of cookies and external transmission on the Site. A cookie consent management tool (a consent UI) and consent-based loading of analytics tags are planned for the future.
