Outside services that are actually contacted
| Service / provider | Information that may be transmitted | Our purpose | The provider’s purpose | When | Provider privacy information |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MapTiler (MapTiler AG) | Your IP address, browser type (User-Agent), referring page, and the tile positions that indicate the map area being viewed | Displaying the map — fetching its styling, map data and in-map labels | Per their privacy policy, to provide the map service, prevent abuse, and operate and improve the service | Whenever the map is displayed | https://www.maptiler.com/privacy-policy/ |

| Google / Google Cloud Translation | Only the Japanese restaurant-authored text being translated: a description, announcement title/body, or coupon title/description/terms. Management QR secrets, management sessions, referral codes, analytics identifiers, precise GPS, guest/customer data, and unrelated database fields are not sent | Creating the public English text at save time when a restaurant selects automatic translation | Provision of Google Cloud Translation and handling under Google’s applicable privacy information | Only when a restaurant saves a Japanese description, announcement, or coupon in automatic-translation mode.

Your IP address and browser type accompany any request a browser makes to an outside host; they are not something this service adds. We attach no identifiers or location data of our own. Note, however, that fetching map data does reveal to the provider which map area you are currently viewing.
If using the location feature changes which part of the map is shown, the requests for the map data covering that area go to MapTiler. Your precise GPS coordinates themselves are not sent to MapTiler.
Destinations you reach by tapping a link
None of the following causes any request when a page loads. From the moment you tap and navigate, the destination service’s own handling applies.
| Destination | When | How this service treats it |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps (directions) | When you tap “Google Maps” | An ordinary link. Nothing is sent to Google until you tap it |
| A restaurant’s website or social media | When you tap that link | An ordinary link. Nothing is sent until you tap it |
| Square (support / donation) | When a support link is shown and you tap it | You are taken to Square’s payment page. This service never handles card details. What happens after you arrive is governed by Square’s own service |
| Phone | When you tap a phone number | Your device’s phone app opens |
What is not used
Measuring the actual traffic confirmed that none of the following occurs, and none of it is built in.
- Advertising or behavioural ad-targeting tags and pixels
- Third-party analytics services — usage records are received by this service itself and stored in our own database
- Tag managers, social media embed scripts, externally hosted fonts
- Any mechanism for tracking visitors across other sites
We do not use cookies or similar technologies for advertising or for tracking behaviour across other sites. The cookies this site sets are its own, and exist to count usage and to remember which QR placement you arrived from.
What is transmitted externally is published on this page. At present, this service does not display a cookie consent banner.
If the setup changes
If we add or change an outside service, we will verify the actual traffic and update this page.
