NaviTOOFN Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 18, 2026

NaviTOOFN is a venue-discovery and venue-activity platform operated through the V Trips platform. NaviTOOFN helps people discover participating venues, understand venue activity and busy or less-busy periods, find places that fit their interests and social preferences, and make decisions about where and when to go.

This Privacy Policy explains what information NaviTOOFN may collect, how that information is used, how information may be shared with service providers, and the choices available to users.

For privacy questions, data requests, correction requests, or account-deletion requests, contact:

brentvsceo@v-trips.net

1. Introduction

NaviTOOFN is designed to help users discover participating venues and understand activity at those venues.

NaviTOOFN may use information provided directly by users, information generated through use of the application, information associated with participating venues, device and diagnostic information, and information from third-party services integrated into the platform.

We aim to collect and use information for legitimate platform purposes and to minimize information that is not necessary for the functionality being provided.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on the features a user uses, NaviTOOFN may collect:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Physical or mailing address when voluntarily provided

  • Account and user identifiers

  • Device identifiers

  • Location information

  • Venue interaction and venue-activity information

  • Social preferences

  • Fitness or health-related information when voluntarily provided or when a feature specifically requires it

  • Payment and purchase information

  • User-generated content

  • Photos or videos

  • Audio information

  • Customer-support information

  • Search information

  • Browsing information

  • Usage information

  • Diagnostic information

  • Contacts when a user specifically grants access and the feature requires it

  • Information relating to participating venues

  • Other information voluntarily provided through the platform

The specific information collected depends on the features the user chooses to use and the permissions the user grants.

NaviTOOFN does not intend to collect information simply because it is technically available from a device.

3. Venue Activity Information

A central function of NaviTOOFN is understanding activity at participating venues.

Venue activity information may include information indicating that a user is interacting with, visiting, or participating at a participating venue.

This information may be used to:

  • Measure activity at participating venues;

  • Calculate busy and less-busy periods;

  • Identify activity patterns by day and time;

  • Help users determine when a venue may be more or less busy;

  • Improve venue recommendations;

  • Provide venue recommendations based on activity patterns;

  • Provide social-environment recommendations;

  • Help users discover venues that may better match their preferences; and

  • Provide participating venues with appropriate venue-level activity information.

Where technically possible, venue activity information will be aggregated, de-identified, minimized, or otherwise processed so that venue-level statistics do not unnecessarily reveal an individual’s movements.

4. Social Preferences

Users may voluntarily provide social preferences or characteristics describing the type of environment they prefer.

For example, users may indicate that they prefer:

  • More social environments;

  • Quieter environments;

  • More active or energetic environments;

  • Less crowded environments;

  • Opportunities to meet people;

  • Environments that may be more compatible with their preferred social setting.

These preferences may be used to recommend participating venues and venue environments.

NaviTOOFN does not use social preferences to continuously monitor a user’s movements throughout Osaka.

5. User Content

Users may voluntarily provide content such as:

  • Photos;

  • Videos;

  • Audio;

  • Reviews;

  • Comments;

  • Messages;

  • Venue feedback;

  • Customer-support information;

  • Other user-generated content.

User content may be used to provide platform functionality, display content where the user chooses to publish it, improve venue discovery, moderate the platform, provide customer support, and maintain platform security.

Users should not submit sensitive personal information through public areas of the platform unless specifically requested for a legitimate platform purpose.

6. Health and Fitness Information

If NaviTOOFN provides features that use health or fitness information, such information may be collected only when the user chooses to use those features and grants the applicable permission.

Health and fitness information may include exercise, activity, movement, or other health-related information provided through supported device or platform APIs.

Health and fitness information will be used only for the purposes disclosed to the user and for providing the associated feature.

NaviTOOFN does not use health or fitness information for unrelated advertising or marketing purposes.

7. Financial and Purchase Information

NaviTOOFN may process information associated with purchases, reservations, bookings, venue services, subscriptions, tickets, or other transactions.

Payment processing may be provided through third-party payment processors and payment methods, which may include:

  • Stripe;

  • PayPal;

  • Apple Pay;

  • Other supported digital-wallet services;

  • Credit or debit card processing providers; and

  • Other payment providers supported by the platform.

NaviTOOFN may receive transaction information such as payment status, transaction identifiers, purchase amount, currency, purchaser information, billing information, and information necessary to provide the purchased service.

Where payment information is entered directly into a third-party payment processor, NaviTOOFN does not necessarily receive or store the user’s complete payment-card number.

Payment processors handle payment information according to their own privacy policies and applicable requirements.

NaviTOOFN may automatically generate and send invoices, receipts, confirmations, or transaction records to users using the contact information associated with the transaction.

8. Device, Usage, and Diagnostic Information

NaviTOOFN may collect information about how the application operates and is used, including:

  • App launches;

  • Interactions with features;

  • Performance information;

  • Crash information;

  • Diagnostic information;

  • Device information;

  • Operating-system information;

  • Technical identifiers;

  • Network or connection information; and

  • Other information necessary to maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the application.

This information may be used to maintain reliability, identify technical problems, prevent abuse, improve performance, and understand how users interact with the platform.

9. Search and Browsing Information

NaviTOOFN may process searches performed within the application, including searches for venues, locations, activities, events, categories, or other platform content.

The platform may also process information about content viewed or interacted with within NaviTOOFN.

This information may be used to provide search results, improve recommendations, personalize platform functionality, understand platform usage, and improve venue discovery.

NaviTOOFN does not intend to create a general record of every website a user visits outside the application.

10. Contacts

If a feature requires access to contacts, NaviTOOFN may request permission to access contact information.

Contacts may be used only for the feature for which permission is requested, such as helping a user connect with or invite another person.

NaviTOOFN will not use contact information to create or sell a general-purpose contact database.

Users may deny or withdraw contact access through their device permissions.

11. Environment, Camera, Audio, and Body Data

Depending on available features, NaviTOOFN may request access to camera, microphone, environmental, or body-related information.

Examples may include:

  • Photos or videos;

  • Audio recordings;

  • Environmental or surroundings information;

  • Hand movements;

  • Head movements; or

  • Other information required for an enabled feature.

This information will be collected only when necessary for a feature and when the appropriate permission has been granted.

NaviTOOFN will not use camera, microphone, environmental, or body information for unrelated advertising or marketing.

12. Sensitive Information

Users may voluntarily provide information that could be considered sensitive under applicable privacy laws.

Examples may include health information, biometric information, precise location information, or other sensitive information.

NaviTOOFN will use sensitive information only for disclosed platform purposes and in accordance with applicable law.

Users should avoid submitting sensitive information unless the relevant feature specifically requests it.

13. How We Use Information

NaviTOOFN may use information to:

  • Provide venue discovery;

  • Provide venue recommendations;

  • Provide social-environment recommendations;

  • Measure participating-venue activity;

  • Identify busy and less-busy periods;

  • Improve venue recommendations;

  • Provide search and discovery functionality;

  • Process purchases and payments;

  • Provide invoices and receipts;

  • Provide customer support;

  • Maintain user accounts;

  • Process bookings, reservations, tickets, or other transactions;

  • Improve application performance;

  • Detect fraud, abuse, and security threats;

  • Maintain platform security;

  • Analyze aggregated platform activity;

  • Improve the platform and its features; and

  • Comply with legal obligations.

NaviTOOFN will not use collected information for a materially different purpose without appropriate disclosure or permission when required by applicable law.

14. Aggregated and De-Identified Information

NaviTOOFN may create aggregated, statistical, or de-identified information from information collected through the platform.

Examples include:

  • Average venue activity;

  • Busy periods;

  • Less-busy periods;

  • Activity by day;

  • Activity by time;

  • General venue trends; and

  • Other statistical information about participating venues.

These statistics may be used to improve the platform and provide venue recommendations.

Where reasonably possible, NaviTOOFN will design venue-activity reporting so that individual users are not unnecessarily identifiable from venue-level statistics.

15. Location Privacy and Venue-Based Tracking

Location information is an important part of NaviTOOFN’s venue-discovery functionality.

NaviTOOFN may use location information to determine whether a user is interacting with or visiting a participating venue, measure activity at participating venues, calculate busy and less-busy periods, identify activity patterns by day and time, improve venue recommendations, and provide venue and social-environment recommendations.

NaviTOOFN is not intended to maintain a continuous history of a user’s movements throughout Osaka.

NaviTOOFN is specifically designed around participating venues and venue-related functionality.

NaviTOOFN is not intended to maintain a continuous record of:

  • A user’s home location;

  • A user’s workplace;

  • Places outside participating venues;

  • Where the user travels throughout Osaka; or

  • The user’s general movement history.

Where technically possible, location and venue-activity information will be minimized and processed in a way that reduces unnecessary identification of individual users.

Users may control location permissions through their device settings. Some venue-related functionality may not work correctly if required location permissions are denied.

NaviTOOFN will not require users to provide location access merely to use unrelated features that do not require location information.

16. Sharing of Information

NaviTOOFN may share information with service providers and third parties when necessary to operate the platform.

These may include:

  • Payment processors;

  • Hosting providers;

  • Cloud infrastructure providers;

  • Analytics or diagnostic providers;

  • Email and messaging providers;

  • Customer-support providers;

  • Security providers;

  • Mapping or location-service providers;

  • Booking or reservation providers;

  • Other technology providers that support NaviTOOFN functionality.

Third parties may process information only for the services they provide to NaviTOOFN or for other purposes disclosed to users and permitted by applicable law.

NaviTOOFN does not sell users’ personal information or location information.

NaviTOOFN may disclose information when required by law, legal process, court order, or governmental request, or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or property of NaviTOOFN, its users, participating venues, or others.

17. Advertising and Tracking

NaviTOOFN does not claim that it uses personal information for advertising or cross-app tracking unless those features are actually implemented.

If NaviTOOFN introduces advertising, cross-app tracking, or similar technologies in the future, the privacy disclosures and applicable permission mechanisms will be updated as required before those technologies are used.

18. Third-Party Services and SDKs

NaviTOOFN may integrate third-party services and software development kits, including payment, hosting, analytics, mapping, authentication, communications, diagnostics, and other services.

Third-party providers may process information necessary to provide their services.

Examples may include payment services such as Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, and other supported payment providers.

NaviTOOFN expects third-party service providers that process personal information on its behalf to maintain appropriate safeguards and to process information consistently with their contractual obligations and applicable privacy requirements.

19. Data Retention

NaviTOOFN retains information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, maintaining business and transaction records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, preventing fraud, maintaining security, and complying with legal obligations.

Different types of information may be retained for different periods.

Venue-level statistical information may be retained longer when it has been aggregated or de-identified and can no longer reasonably be used to identify an individual.

20. Account and Data Deletion

Users may request deletion of their NaviTOOFN account and associated personal information.

To request deletion, contact:

brentvsceo@v-trips.net

Please include enough information for us to identify the account or information involved.

Some information may need to be retained when required by law, necessary for legitimate business records, required to complete a transaction, or necessary to prevent fraud or protect security.

Where information is retained for these reasons, it will be retained only for the period required or reasonably necessary for that purpose.

21. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on applicable law, users may have rights to:

  • Request access to personal information;

  • Request correction of inaccurate information;

  • Request deletion of personal information;

  • Request information about how personal information is used;

  • Withdraw certain permissions;

  • Control device permissions;

  • Request information about third-party processing; and

  • Ask privacy-related questions.

Privacy requests should be sent to:

brentvsceo@v-trips.net

NaviTOOFN may need to verify a request before providing or deleting information associated with an account.

22. Children’s Privacy

NaviTOOFN is not directed toward children where prohibited by applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable legal requirements.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact:

brentvsceo@v-trips.net

23. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The NaviTOOFN website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for website operation, security, authentication, preferences, analytics, or other disclosed purposes.

Users may be able to control cookies through their browser settings.

If additional advertising or tracking technologies are introduced, applicable disclosures and consent mechanisms will be updated as required.

24. Data Security

NaviTOOFN uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should use appropriate security practices, including maintaining control of account credentials and avoiding submission of unnecessary sensitive information.

25. International Data Processing

NaviTOOFN and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where the user resides.

When information is transferred internationally, NaviTOOFN will take reasonable steps to ensure that the information is handled in accordance with applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.

26. Japan — APPI

NaviTOOFN may provide services in Japan, including Osaka, and may therefore be subject to Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information and related requirements.

Personal information will be handled for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable Japanese privacy requirements.

Where location information can identify an individual, NaviTOOFN will treat that information appropriately under applicable privacy requirements.

Users in Japan may contact:

brentvsceo@v-trips.net

for questions concerning personal information, access, correction, deletion, or other privacy matters.

27. Changes to This Privacy Policy

NaviTOOFN may update this Privacy Policy when the platform, applicable law, data practices, payment services, third-party services, or other relevant circumstances change.

When material changes are made, NaviTOOFN may provide notice through the website, application, or other appropriate means.
