We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any retailer or service you visit.
5. Amazon Associates Program
MasterSenpai may participate in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon and affiliated websites.
Amazon and its affiliates may use cookies and other technologies to recognize visits, attribute qualifying purchases, measure performance, and provide services in accordance with their own policies.
MasterSenpai does not control Amazon’s independent data collection or processing practices.
For more information, please review the applicable Amazon privacy notice:

- Security and protection: When reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, prevent abuse, protect our rights, or safeguard users.
- Business transfers: If our website or business is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of assets.
Some privacy laws treat certain advertising-related disclosures or tracking as “sharing” or “selling” personal information even when no money is exchanged. Where such laws apply, we will handle the relevant activities in accordance with applicable requirements.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
Retention periods may depend on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, security requirements, legal obligations, and the policies of our service providers.
For example, contact messages may be retained long enough to respond to inquiries and maintain relevant business records. Server logs may be retained according to our hosting provider’s configuration.
When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or otherwise dispose of it securely, subject to applicable obligations.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse.
These measures may include website security tools, access controls, software updates, and secure connections where available.
However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot promise absolute security.
