Disclosure & Privacy Policy

FTC Compliance & Commercial Partnerships Disclosure

Important Notice: I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post and across this website. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), please be advised of the following financial relationships:

Amazon Associates Program: Nippon Stationery Notes is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
eBay Partner Network (EPN): This site includes links to listings on eBay. If you click on an eBay link and make a purchase, I may receive a small percentage of the transaction at no additional cost to you.
Etsy Program Notice: This site includes links to curated craftspeople and sellers on Etsy. Etsy operates its publisher and affiliate agreements through third-party affiliate networks (historically managed via platforms such as Awin or Rakuten Advertising). I participate in Etsy's affiliate opportunities; however, the precise network provider may update periodically. Any purchase completed on Etsy following a link from this site may yield a commission.

Zero Cost to You: Clicking these links and completing a purchase will never increase the price you pay. The merchant pays a small commission directly out of their margin.

Non-Compensated Reference Links: This site occasionally provides links to informational guides or independent specialty retailers such as JetPens for your reference and deep-dive research. These reference links carry no commission agreement and are provided solely for editorial completeness.

Editorial Independence & Integrity

All reviews reflect my genuine, first-hand experiences. I purchase the products reviewed with my own funds. I do not accept paid product endorsements, free review merchandise, or editorial mandates from manufacturers or retailers.

Privacy Policy

Nippon Stationery Notes is a static informational site. I respect your digital privacy:

No User Accounts: There is no user registration, login portal, or membership database.
No Personal Data Collection: This website does not collect your name, physical address, email address, or payment details.
Third-Party Cookies & Tracking: When you click on outbound merchant buttons (such as Amazon, eBay, or Etsy), the respective merchant platforms will place cookies on your browser according to their privacy policies to track qualifying referrals. You may disable cookies at any time via your browser settings.
Hosting: This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process basic server request logs (IP addresses, user agents) strictly for security, DDoS mitigation, and global CDN delivery performance.
