Privacy Policy

How YRT Japan collects, uses, and protects the personal information you share with us.

Effective date: 24 July 2026

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy explains how YR Trading Co. Ltd ("YRT Japan", "we", "us", "our"), headquartered at 718-1 Sakai Higashi Arai, Isesaki, Gunma 370-0101, Japan, collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit this website or contact us.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

  • Contact & inquiry details — name, email address, phone number, and country, submitted through our Contact, General Inquiries, Sales Inquiry, or Report a Problem forms.
  • Account details — name, email address, and password (stored as a secure hash, never in plain text) when you register for an account.
  • Saved vehicles — the cars you add to your Favourites list while signed in.
  • Basic technical data — standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) used for security and troubleshooting.

We do not collect payment card details on this Site — payments are made by bank transfer to the account(s) listed on our Bank Info page.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to your inquiry or quote request and follow up by email, phone, or WhatsApp.
  • To create and manage your account, including your saved Favourites.
  • To process a vehicle purchase, arrange shipping, and prepare export documentation.
  • To protect the Site from spam and abuse (for example, rate-limiting repeated form submissions).
  • To comply with legal and export-related record-keeping requirements.

4. Cookies

We use a small number of essential cookies — to keep you signed in and to remember your form progress. We do not currently use third-party advertising or analytics cookies. If that changes, this policy will be updated accordingly.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only where necessary to complete a purchase or as required by law — for example, with shipping lines, freight forwarders, or customs authorities involved in exporting a vehicle you've purchased, or with our email/hosting providers who process data on our behalf under confidentiality obligations.

6. Data Retention

We keep inquiry and account information for as long as needed to respond to you, complete a purchase, and meet our legal and tax record-keeping obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

7. Your Rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us using the details below. If you have an account, you can also sign in to update your details directly.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted password storage and rate-limiting on our forms to reduce automated abuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

This Site is intended for adults arranging a vehicle purchase or export and is not directed at children.

10. International Visitors

YRT Japan serves customers worldwide. Information you submit is processed and stored on servers operated on our behalf, which may be located outside your home country. By using the Site, you consent to this processing.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective date" above shows when the current version took effect. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
