Third-Party Links
Our Site links to product listings and our shop on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheUnfoldingJapan. When you click an Etsy link, you leave this Site and are subject to Etsy's own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of Etsy or any other third-party website.
Use of the Pinterest API
We operate a Pinterest Business account under the name The Unfolding Japan and use the Pinterest API solely to manage and analyze our own Pinterest account and content. Specifically, we use the Pinterest API to:
- Create and schedule Pins linking to our Etsy shop listings and related content;
- Read our own boards, Pins, and account information;
- Retrieve analytics data for our own Pins, boards, and account performance.
We do not intentionally collect or process personal information of individual Pinterest users through the Pinterest API. Any Pinterest-derived analytics data we access is used only in aggregated or non-identifying form to understand the performance of our own Pins, boards, and account.
We do not sell, rent, share, redistribute, or otherwise transfer Pinterest content, Pinterest API data, or Pinterest-derived data to third parties. We do not use Pinterest API data for advertising networks, data brokerage, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to managing our own Pinterest presence.
Our Pinterest API access credentials are stored securely in our authorized application environment and are not publicly disclosed.
This Site and our Etsy shop are independently operated and are not endorsed by, affiliated with, sponsored by, or approved by Pinterest.
Data Retention and Security
We retain information you provide only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We take reasonable measures to protect information we hold, but no online transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
