Terms of Use & Privacy Policy

Welcome to JP Notes (jpnotes.app). By accessing and using this website, you agree to the following terms. Please read them carefully.

Terms of Use

JP Notes is a free educational platform for learning the Japanese language. You may use the content on this site for personal, non-commercial learning purposes. You may not systematically download, scrape, or redistribute the content without prior written permission. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time without notice.

Copyright & Intellectual Property

All original content on jpnotes.app — including text, grammar explanations, example sentences, kanji breakdowns, quizzes, and website design — is the intellectual property of JP Notes and is protected by copyright law.

You may quote short excerpts (up to 3 example sentences) for educational purposes, provided you include a link back to the original page on jpnotes.app. Bulk reproduction, mirroring, or republishing of content is strictly prohibited without prior written consent.

The Japanese language data (kanji readings, JLPT level classifications) is derived from publicly available sources including the Jouyou Kanji list and open JLPT resources.

AI-Assisted Content Disclosure

Transparency matters to us. Some content on this site is generated with the assistance of AI language models (such as Claude and Gemini). We believe in being upfront about this.

To ensure accuracy, all AI-generated Japanese language content undergoes the following quality checks:

  • Kanji readings are cross-checked against verified Jouyou Kanji databases
  • JLPT level classifications are verified against established JLPT resource lists
  • Sino-Vietnamese (Han-Viet) readings are validated against Han-Viet dictionaries
  • Example sentences are reviewed for grammatical accuracy and natural usage

Despite these checks, errors may occasionally occur. If you spot an inaccuracy, please let us know so we can correct it promptly.

Disclaimer

The information provided on jpnotes.app is for educational and informational purposes only. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date Japanese language content, we make no warranties or representations about the completeness, reliability, or accuracy of this information.

JP Notes is an independent educational resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to the Japan Foundation, JEES (Japan Educational Exchanges and Services), or any official JLPT governing body. References to "JLPT" are for organizational purposes to help learners identify content appropriate for their level.

Any action you take based on the information on this site is strictly at your own risk. For official JLPT preparation, we recommend supplementing your study with official JLPT practice materials.

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This section explains what data we collect and how we use it.

Information We Collect

We do not require user registration and do not collect personally identifiable information (PII). We do not use cookies for tracking individual users. Any learning progress data (such as quiz scores) is stored locally in your browser using localStorage and is never sent to our servers.

Analytics

We use privacy-friendly analytics tools to understand aggregate visitor behavior — such as which pages are most popular and how visitors find our site. This data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify individual users.

Third-Party Services

This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect standard web server logs (IP addresses, browser type, pages visited) as part of their service. Please refer to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for details. In the future, we may display advertisements through Google AdSense or similar services, which may use cookies. We will update this policy accordingly if and when that occurs.

Children's Privacy

JP Notes is suitable for learners of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. Since we do not require registration or collect PII, no special parental consent is needed.

Contact Us

We welcome feedback, error reports, and suggestions. If you find an inaccuracy in our Japanese language content, please let us know — we take accuracy seriously and will investigate promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update these terms and privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
