Privacy Policy

Shrine The Pantheon ("this site") respects the privacy of its visitors and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This page explains how information is handled on this site.

1. About the Operator

This site is operated by an individual. Please use the contact page to reach the operator.

2. Analytics (Google Analytics)

This site uses Google Analytics (GA4), a web analytics tool provided by Google, to help improve the site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect traffic data, which is gathered anonymously and does not identify you personally. You can opt out by disabling cookies in your browser settings. For details on how this data is collected and processed, see Google's policies and terms page.

3. Embedded Third-Party Content

This site embeds Google Maps for location information and YouTube videos for visiting guidance. Some shrine pages may also display posts from an official X (formerly Twitter) account. The providers of these services may collect information via cookies or similar technologies. Please refer to each provider's own privacy policy for details.

4. Affiliate Programs

The "Nearby Accommodation" and "Nearby Tours & Activities" sections on each shrine page link to search results on Booking.com, (on Japanese pages) Rakuten Travel, and Klook. These links participate in each company's affiliate program (currently active for Rakuten Travel and Klook; Booking.com may be added in the future), in which case the linked partner may use cookies or similar technologies via third-party ad services to collect visitor information.

Some featured guide articles also include links (and images) to product pages on Rakuten Ichiba (Rakuten's online marketplace). These are PR (advertising) links through the Rakuten Affiliate Program, and a purchase made via these links may result in a referral fee being paid to this site. Any article containing such links states this clearly.

5. Contact Form

Contact inquiries are handled through a Google Form. Any information you provide (such as your name or email address) is used only to respond to your inquiry. Please also see Google's Privacy Policy for how Google Forms handles data.

6. Data Stored in Your Browser (Favorites & Visit History)

The "Favorites" and "Mark as Visited" features store data in your browser's local storage only — nothing is sent to a server. This data will not carry over if you switch browsers or devices.

7. Disclaimer

We make every effort to keep the shrine information on this site (history, access, visiting hours, goshuin availability, etc.) accurate, but we cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness. Visiting hours and goshuin availability in particular can change, so please check each shrine's official information for the latest details. The operator is not responsible for any damages arising from the use of this site.

8. Changes to This Policy

This site may update this policy without prior notice, to the extent permitted by law. Any changes take effect as soon as they are posted on this page.
