Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy describes how usedinjapan.jp ("the Company," "we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, stores, processes, and protects your personal data and official documentation when you register an account, browse our vehicle inventory, or purchase used automobiles through our global export platform.

By registering an account, transmitting information, or conducting a commercial transaction on this Site, you grant your full, explicit, and irrevocable consent to the data collection, utilization, and disclosure practices detailed in this document.

To execute cross-border commercial contracts, clear Japanese export customs, and arrange international ocean logistics as established in our Terms and Conditions, we must collect specific, verified user data. You bear sole and exclusive individual liability for the accuracy of all data submitted.

1.1 Account & Contact Information: Your full legal name, permanent physical address, corporate entity details, email address, telephone numbers, and mobile messaging identifiers (such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger).

1.2 Official Identification & Compliance Documents: Scanned high-resolution copies or photographs of your government-issued Passport, National Identity Card, or Corporate Registration Certificate. (This data is explicitly mandated under anti-money laundering (AML) statutes and maritime customs protocols).

1.3 Transactional & Financial Records: Bank wire transfer receipts, Telegraphic Transfer (TT) confirmation copies, intermediary transaction reference codes, and localized billing metrics required to verify invoice settlement.

1.4 Logistics & Consignee Shipping Data: The full legal name of the consignee (the verified vehicle receiver), notify party contact details, destination port information, and final physical delivery addresses.

1.5 Technical Website Analytics: IP addresses, geographic location data, browser configurations, operating system metrics, device identifiers, and platform navigation patterns tracked via cookies and web tracking technologies.

We process your personal and official information strictly to fulfill our commercial transactions, satisfy Japanese export laws, and protect our platform from international fraud.

2.1 Contractual Fulfillment & Logistics Execution: To book physical vessel space with third-party ocean freight lines, generate legal Bills of Lading, clear customs at the port of export, and dispatch original paper certificates via secure courier to your physical address.

2.2 Fraud Control & Identity Verification: To verify that the account holder matches the financial sender, completely blocking international identity theft, double-bidding manipulation, and credit card fraud in accordance with our strict account termination policies.

2.3 Operational Communications: To send automated 48-hour payment countdown notifications, vessel scheduling updates, tracking information, and customer support alerts via email or mobile communication facilities.

2.4 Intellectual Property & Marketing Integration: Consistent with Section 7.2 of our Terms and Conditions, any vehicle commentary, photo uploads, or platform feedback you send us may be repackaged or displayed for corporate brand marketing without financial compensation to you.

Because global vehicle exporting requires an interconnected cross-border supply chain, your data will be securely disclosed to specific third parties to execute your shipment.

3.1 Maritime & Port Partners: Third-party ocean freight carriers, shipping line networks, and container terminal authorities at both the origin and destination ports.

3.2 Authorized Customs Brokers: Private or state-sanctioned customs clearance agents required to file official import/export manifests.

3.3 Financial Networks: Intermediary clearing houses and banking institutions used to clear international wire transfers and verify that invoices are received down to the single cent.

3.4 Law Enforcement & Regulatory Overrides: Consistent with our Terms and Conditions, we reserve the full right to bypass any basic user confidentiality settings to share chat histories, system logs, passport uploads, or email metrics with international policing agencies (e.g., Interpol), tax authorities, or customs investigators during official investigations.

We implement high-level digital security protocols to protect your highly sensitive identification and transactional data.

4.1 Encryption Standards: All uploaded identification documents (passports/IDs) and financial records are encrypted using industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS) protocols during transmission and storage.

4.2 Internal Access Restraints: Access to your private identity files is strictly limited to authorized compliance, finance, and logistics personnel within our corporate offices.

4.3 Legal Retention Mandate: We retain corporate transaction logs, identity verifications, and financial receipts for a period of seven (7) years to comply with corporate tax regulations, anti-money laundering laws, and Japanese maritime export statutes. Account termination does not excuse the Company from preserving these mandatory tax and audit records.

Depending on your geographic location or citizenship, you hold specific structural rights regarding the personal information we store in our database.

5.1 Access & Rectification: You may log into your secure personal dashboard at any time to review, update, or correct your profile metrics, consignee listings, or address records.

5.2 Data Erasure Constraints: You may submit a formal request to delete your account. However, the Company cannot delete data that is legally required to complete an active vehicle shipment, or data we are mandated to preserve under tax, audit, and trade compliance statutes.

5.3 Opt-Out Capabilities: You can withdraw your consent for promotional emails at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" hyperlink located at the bottom of our digital newsletters.

The Company retains full, absolute, and unilateral authority to update, rewrite, or modify this Privacy Policy at any moment without prior notification. Any revisions are effective retroactively and immediately upon being published on this webpage. It is your individual responsibility to review this page periodically to remain informed about our data handling rules.
