This policy explains what information Over Thor collects, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We comply with the Japanese Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) and review our practices regularly. Overthor is a blog dedicated to exploring the evolving landscape of urban mobility and future transport systems.
We collect two kinds of information: details you actively submit through the contact form, and standard technical logs (IP address, browser, pages visited). Neither category is sold or rented to anyone.
Collected information is used to respond to enquiries, improve the content we publish, and keep Over Thor's services in Ota running smoothly. We will ask for your consent before using personal data for any purpose beyond these.
Over Thor does not disclose personal information to third parties without your consent, except where required by Japanese law or where disclosure is necessary to protect life, health or property. Where processing is outsourced, contractors are supervised appropriately.
Over Thor applies reasonable organisational and technical safeguards — restricted access, encrypted transfer and periodic review — to prevent leakage, loss or alteration of personal data.
Over Thor honours your rights under the APPI: you may request disclosure, correction, suspension of use or deletion of your personal information at any time. After verifying your identity we will respond without undue delay, as the APPI requires.
Over Thor, 143-0014 Tokyo, Ota City, Omorinaka, 3-9-2. Phone: +81 3-3763-8431. Email: info@overthor.com. Office hours: weekdays 10:00–17:00 JST.
Over Thor reviews this page whenever Japanese law or our services change. Significant revisions will be flagged on the site itself, and the effective date below is updated with every edit, so you can always tell whether the text has changed since your last visit.
Pages on the Over Thor site occasionally link to external resources. Once you leave our domain, the privacy and cookie practices of the destination site apply; we encourage you to review their policies, as Over Thor cannot accept responsibility for how third parties handle your data.
Over Thor may review anonymised, aggregated statistics — page views, popular articles, rough visitor regions — to decide what to publish next. These figures cannot be traced back to any individual reader and are never sold or shared for advertising.
Over Thor keeps personal information only as long as the purpose for which it was collected requires. Enquiry correspondence is deleted after a reasonable follow-up period, and raw server logs are rotated on roughly a twelve-month cycle. Data that no longer serves a purpose is erased or irreversibly anonymised.
