Seikai JLPT bot — Privacy Policy
Effective: 26 October 2026
The Seikai JLPT bot (@JLPTSeikaiBot, "the bot") is a Telegram bot for JLPT practice tests. This policy says what the bot keeps about you, why, and how to have it deleted. How Telegram itself handles your account and messages is covered by Telegram's privacy policy, not this one.
What the bot keeps
On Seikai's server, under your Telegram user id:
- What Telegram tells the bot about you: your user id and the language of your Telegram app. The bot does not store your name, username or phone number.
- Your settings: your level, how readings are shown, and when answers are checked.
- Your study: each answer you give (the question, your choice, right or wrong, and when), your tests and practice sessions with their clocks, and the questions you opened with a free unlock. Today, Review and Stats are made from these.
- Where you came from: if you started the bot from a link that carries a code (for example under a post in a channel), that code.
- The bot's messages to you: which question each message shows, so that its buttons keep working. These are deleted after 60 days.
Payments
The season pass is paid in Telegram Stars, through Telegram. Telegram handles the payment; the bot receives the number of Stars, Telegram's charge id and the pass bought, and keeps them with your user id to give you the pass, to refund it and to settle disputes. The bot never sees card or bank details.
A pass comes with a one-use code for the Seikai JLPT Android app. The code is kept with your payment so that a refund can cancel it too. Seikai's content service records the code, but not who it was given to.
What the bot sends elsewhere
- Problem reports. When you press ⚑ Report and write what is wrong, your text goes to Seikai's content service with the question's id and version. Your user id is not sent with it.
- Payment support. A message you write after /paysupport is passed to us in Telegram with your user id, so that we can answer you.
- Codes you redeem. When you redeem a code in the bot (/redeem), the code and your Telegram user id go to Seikai's content service, which checks the code and records that you redeemed it, so that a code meant for one person cannot be used again and a cancelled code can close its pass.
The bot has no ads and no analytics service. Nothing is sold, or shared for advertising.
Keeping and deleting
Your settings and study are kept while you use the bot. Payment records are kept for the season the pass belongs to and for one year after; longer only when a dispute or the law needs them.
To have your data deleted, write to regardtous@gmail.com or send /paysupport in the bot. We delete it within 30 days and tell you when it is done. Deleting your data also ends a pass you hold. Messages already in your chat stay there until you clear the chat in Telegram.
Security
The data is kept on a server that only Seikai's operator can reach. If it is ever exposed, we will tell you in the bot.
Children
The bot is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
If the bot starts keeping or sending anything new, this policy is updated before that version of the bot runs.
