Welcome to Scan Tokyo ("we," "our," or "us"), a mobile application operated by CHIKAKU KAIKA, LLC, designed to enhance your experience in Tokyo. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and securing your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our mobile application (the "App") and any related services. Please review this policy carefully to understand our practices.
- Information Collection
We collect the following types of information to provide and improve the App's functionality:
- Personal Data: Information that identifies you, such as your username and nationality, collected via mandatory surveys required to access the App.
- Usage Data: Information on how you interact with the App, including:
- Device information (e.g., device type, operating system, unique device identifiers).

- Anonymous Interaction Analytics: Aggregate data about which screens are viewed and which features are used, with no personally identifying information attached. You provide consent for this collection during onboarding and may revoke consent at any time in the App's settings.
The App does not collect your geographical location. When you tap a location, the App opens Apple Maps or Google Maps for directions, and only the destination's coordinates and name are passed to those services.

Usernames deemed inappropriate (e.g., offensive, discriminatory, or illegal) are prohibited, and we reserve the right to modify or reject them, notifying you of any changes.
- Nationality: Collected to tailor your experience (e.g., language preferences) and for marketing insights. This data is processed only with your awareness of its purpose.
- Use of Information
We use your information for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and enhance the App's functionality.
