My SenpAI LLC
Privacy Policy
This policy covers My SenpAI LLC ("we", "us") and our website my-senpai.com, including its articles, tools and browser-based apps. Each of our mobile apps has its own policy that explains exactly what that app collects:
- FluencyTool Privacy Policy
- YoMoo Privacy Policy
- Kana Challenge Privacy Policy
- My Senpai: Japanese Crossword Privacy Policy
- You can read our website without giving us your name or email.
- We use cookies and similar tools for analytics and advertising. You can control them in your browser.
- If you email us or send feedback, we use what you send only to reply and improve our products.
- We do not sell your personal information for money.
Information we collect on our website
| Information | Why we use it | Who processes it |
|---|---|---|
| Pages viewed, how you arrived (referrer, search or campaign), clicks on app store links, device and browser type, language, and approximate location derived from your IP address, collected with cookies | Understanding which content is useful and improving the site | Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager |
| On some pages: mouse movements, clicks, scrolling and anonymized session replays | Finding confusing or broken parts of a page | Microsoft Clarity |
| IP address, browser, time and page requested, collected for every visit | Delivering the site, security, blocking abuse, and troubleshooting | Cloudflare (network and security), Amazon Web Services (hosting) |
| Your name, email address and message, if you use a feedback form or email us | Replying to you and improving our products | Formspree (form delivery), our email provider |
| Your name and comment, if you post a comment on an article. We do not ask for your email address. | Showing your comment on the article after we approve it, and replying to it | Our own server (Amazon Web Services, Tokyo) |
| A one-way scrambled version of your IP address (a hash, not the address itself), kept for up to 30 days, when you submit a comment | Limiting spam and abuse of the comment form | Our own server |
| Signals about your browser and device used to tell people from automated bots, when the comment form loads | Blocking spam | Cloudflare Turnstile |
| Whether you read an article (the page was open for about 30 seconds and scrolled about halfway), counted once a day. We use a one-way scrambled combination of your IP address and browser details that changes every day, and we do not store a cookie or an identifier for this | Showing how many times an article has been read, and learning which articles help | Our own server |
Comments and read counts. Comments are public. Anyone can see the name and text you post, together with any reply from us, and search engines may index them, so please do not include personal details. We check every comment before it appears. To have your comment removed, email us at the address below and tell us which article it is on. Our read counter does not use cookies and does not run if your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal. We keep only counts of reads for each article, not who read it. The spam check on our comment form is Cloudflare Turnstile. Cloudflare's use of the information it receives is described in the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
Our browser-based apps (for example FluencyTool, YoMoo and Crossword on the web) work the same way as their mobile versions, described in each app's policy. They may also store your progress in your browser's local storage.
Cookies and your choices
- Browser controls: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site still works without them.
- Google Analytics: you can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Personalized ads: you can turn off ad personalization at Google Ad Settings, or opt out of many ad networks at aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu. For how Google uses this data, see How Google uses information from apps that use its services.
- Global Privacy Control: where the law requires it, we treat a GPC signal from your browser as a request to opt out of targeted advertising.
- Read counts: if your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, we do not count your visit.
How we use information
- To run, secure and improve our website and apps
- To understand which content and features people find useful

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on consent for analytics and advertising cookies where it is required, on our legitimate interests to run and secure the site, and on contract when we provide a service you asked for.
Sharing
We share information only with the service providers listed above and in each app's policy, and when the law requires it, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a merger or sale of the business. We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising cookies may count as "sharing" or "targeted advertising" under some US state laws. You can opt out using the choices above.

How long we keep information
Analytics data is kept for the retention period set in Google Analytics and then deleted automatically. Server and security logs are kept for a limited time. Emails and feedback are kept while needed to handle your request and then deleted. Comments stay on the article until you ask us to remove them or we remove them. The scrambled IP address that comes with a comment is deleted after 30 days. Read counts are kept as counts per article and day, not per visitor.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to opt out of targeted advertising. This includes residents of the European Economic Area and the UK (GDPR), California and other US states with privacy laws, and Japan (APPI). To make a request, email fluencytool@my-senpai.com. We will respond within the time the law requires and will not treat you differently for using these rights. You can also ask us to remove a comment you posted. If you are in the EEA or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Our website and apps are for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Where information is processed
My SenpAI LLC is registered in the United States. Our website is hosted in Japan (Amazon Web Services, Tokyo region) and delivered through Cloudflare's global network, and our providers operate in the United States and other countries. When we transfer personal information from the EEA or UK, we rely on our providers' legal transfer mechanisms, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS, and we use reasonable measures to protect information. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date.
