Here's my policy on protecting your privacy.
I’m Justin Lucas and the owner of this website, “Simply Natto.”
My privacy is important to me when visiting other people’s websites, so I understand how important privacy is. The information you share with me is as important to me as it is to you.
I’ve taken steps under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to make sure any information you give me is secure, only seen by people who need to see it, and within your control. Although the GDPR has been introduced to protect the data of Europeans, I’m implementing those same extremely high standards, policies and practices for everyone who visits my site. That way, you have my commitment to protect your personal information.
This privacy policy outlines the types of personal information I receive and collect when you use Simply Natto, as well as why I need the information, what happens to it, who will see it, and how I keep it secure. This document also outlines some of the steps I take to safeguard information. This will help you make an informed decision about sharing personal information with me.
I maintain the highest standards of decency, fairness and integrity in everything I create for Simply Natto, and I am dedicated to protecting my customers' and online visitors' privacy on this website.

If I make material changes in the collection of personally identifiable information, I will inform you by placing a notice on my site. I will use personal information received from you for internal purposes only and will not sell it or provide it to third parties.
I also collect each visitor's IP address, which helps me combat spam and fraud. I do not use IP addresses for any other purpose.
Simply Natto contains links to other websites that may be of interest to you. However, once you have used them to leave my site, I do not have any control over that other website.
Therefore, I cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information you provide while visiting such sites. These sites are not governed by this privacy statement.
Always exercise caution by reviewing the privacy statement of the website in question before continuing to use it.
