Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-10

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate the service:

• API request parameters — used solely to generate the API response. Not stored persistently.
• IP address — used for rate limiting and abuse prevention. Retained for up to 30 days in Cloudflare edge logs.
• Request metadata — path, timestamp, response code. Retained for up to 30 days for debugging.

We do not collect names, email addresses, or any other personally identifiable information unless you contact us directly.

2. Payment Data

Per-call payments are processed via the x402 protocol. Wallet addresses appear in on-chain transaction records but are not stored or linked to any profile by Torify. Monthly subscription payments are handled by LemonSqueezy; their privacy policy applies to that transaction.

3. How We Use Information

Request data is used exclusively to:

• Return the API response you requested
• Enforce per-IP rate limits
• Detect and prevent abuse
• Diagnose service errors

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

Torify relies on the following third-party infrastructure:

• Cloudflare Workers — compute and edge caching. Cloudflare may process request data per their privacy policy.
• Japan NTA (National Tax Agency) — receives only the invoice or corporate number you query.
• Yahoo! Japan JLP API — receives only the text you submit for kana/kanji processing.
• zipcloud — receives only the postal code you query.

5. Data Retention

Request logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days, after which they are automatically purged from Cloudflare edge storage. We do not maintain long-term databases of individual requests.

6. Cookies

The Torify API endpoints do not set any cookies. The LemonSqueezy checkout overlay (used for Pro / Enterprise subscriptions on the pricing page) sets functional cookies required to process payments. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

7. Your Rights

If you believe your data is being processed in violation of applicable law, or wish to request deletion of any logs associated with your IP address, contact us at contact@torify.dev. We will respond within 30 days.

8. International Data Transfers

Cloudflare operates a global edge network. Requests may be processed on servers outside your country of residence. By using the API you consent to this processing. Cloudflare participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

9. Children's Privacy

The service is intended for developers and businesses. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the service, contact us at contact@torify.dev.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the API after a change constitutes acceptance.
