Kept Picks (“we”, “us”) operates https://keptpicks.com. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and the choices you have. We keep it short on purpose — there’s less to hide when you collect very little.
Who we are
Kept Picks is an independent review website operated from Japan. Contact: hello@keptpicks.com
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you email us or use the contact page, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it only to reply, and we keep the thread for reference.
Information collected automatically. Like nearly every website, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps) for security and troubleshooting. We may also use a privacy-respecting analytics tool to understand which pages are read; analytics data is aggregated and is not used to identify you. When you follow a link from Kept Picks to a merchant, we record which of our pages the link was on, the name of the website that sent you to that page (for example, reddit.com — never the full address), and a short one-way code derived from your browser’s user-agent string (the technical description your browser sends with every request). This tells us which pages and sources are genuinely useful. Nothing is stored on your device for this: the website name is read when the page loads and travels only with the link you click.
What we don’t do. We don’t run user accounts, we don’t sell or rent personal information, and we don’t send marketing email.
Cookies and affiliate links
Kept Picks itself sets few or no cookies. However, some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one, the merchant or its affiliate network may set cookies in your browser to attribute any purchase you make. Those cookies are governed by the merchant’s own privacy policy, not ours. See our Affiliate Disclosure for how affiliate links work here.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will still work.
Embedded content
Articles may embed content from other sites (for example, videos). Embedded content behaves as if you visited that site directly, and those sites may collect data about you under their own policies.
How long we keep data
Contact emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request. Server logs are retained by our hosting provider on a rolling basis and then deleted.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including the EU and UK under GDPR, and California under CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, and to object to its processing. Apart from the technical logs described above, which are not used to identify you, the only personal data we typically hold is email correspondence, so the fastest way to exercise any of these rights is to email hello@keptpicks.com — we’ll handle it directly.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. Material changes will be noted prominently.
