Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 3, 2026 (effective since September 25, 2026)
DAMNED (“we”, “the band”) sets out below how we handle information about visitors to our official landing page (https://lp.damned-japan.com/, the “Site”), in compliance with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information and other applicable laws.
This is a translation. If it differs from the Japanese version, the Japanese version prevails.
1. Information we collect
The Site has no shop, and never asks you to enter your name or address. Only if you sign up for our newsletter do we ask for your email address. We collect the following:
- Visit data: the URL of pages viewed, referrer, date and time, IP address, browser and OS type, screen size, language setting, approximate location, identifiers stored in cookies or similar technologies, and actions on the page (such as button clicks, scrolling and which sections you viewed)
- Performance data: how long pages take to load and similar measurements
- Information you send us by email: your email address, name, organization and the content of your message
- Newsletter sign-ups: your email address, the date and time you signed up, the language of the page you signed up on, and the approximate country or region you visited from
2. Why we use it
- To understand and analyze how the Site is used, and to improve its content and speed
- To show ads on Meta services (such as Facebook and Instagram), choose who sees them, and measure how they perform
- To send our newsletter (news about shows, releases and more) and to manage the mailing list
- To reply to inquiries, including booking and press requests
- To keep the Site secure, for example by preventing unauthorized access
3. Third-party services
The Site is delivered by Cloudflare, Inc. Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel below are loaded through Cloudflare Zaraz, Cloudflare’s tag management service. Zaraz runs part of these tools on Cloudflare’s servers instead of in your browser, so information may reach each provider via Cloudflare.
Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC)
Used to analyze how the Site is used. It uses identifiers such as cookies and sends the visit data listed in section 1 to Google. See Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Meta Pixel and Conversions API (Meta Platforms, Inc.)
Used to deliver ads and measure their results. Identifiers such as cookies (e.g. _fbp), pages viewed, actions on the page, IP address and browser information are sent to Meta from your browser and from Cloudflare’s servers (Conversions API). Meta may match this information with account information it holds about you and use it to deliver and measure ads. See Meta’s Privacy Policy.
If you sign up for our newsletter and have accepted “Advertising”, we send Meta the fact that you signed up together with your email address converted into a form that cannot be reversed (SHA-256 hash), from Cloudflare’s servers (Conversions API). Meta matches it with its accounts and uses it to measure and optimize ads. Your email address itself is not sent. Google Analytics receives only the fact that a sign-up happened, never your email address.
Cloudflare Web Analytics (Cloudflare, Inc.)
Used to measure performance such as page load speed. It does not use cookies or other browser storage, and does not store IP addresses. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
Cloudflare D1 and Cloudflare Turnstile (Cloudflare, Inc.)
Email addresses and other sign-up details for the newsletter are stored in Cloudflare D1, Cloudflare’s database service. To prevent automated sign-ups, the form uses Cloudflare Turnstile, which sends information about your browser and device, your IP address and how you interact with the page to Cloudflare to check that you are a person. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy and the Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
YouTube (Google LLC)
Music videos are loaded only when you press play, in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Once a video plays, Google collects information.
4. Turning off cookies and tracking
If you visit from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Brazil or Chile, we first ask for your consent, and only the tools for the purposes you accept (analytics, advertising) run. Elsewhere, the tools in section 3 run when you visit. Either way, you can change your choice at any time with the button below.
Data for Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel is sent from Cloudflare’s servers by Cloudflare Zaraz. For this reason, Google’s “Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on” cannot stop the Site from sending data. To stop it, use the button above to turn off “Analytics” (Google Analytics) and/or “Advertising” (Meta Pixel and Conversions API). Your choice is stored in a browser cookie (cf_consent), so please set it again if you delete cookies or visit from another browser or device.
You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the Site still works without them. However, this only stops identifiers from being stored in cookies; it does not stop the data transmission described above, and your choice made with the button above can no longer be saved.
You can also limit how Meta uses your data:
- Meta: in the Accounts Center of Facebook or Instagram, change your ad preferences and “Your activity off Meta technologies”
5. Sharing with third parties
Apart from the transmissions to the services in section 3, we do not provide personal data to third parties without your consent, except where required by law.
6. Processing outside Japan
The providers in section 3 are headquartered in the United States, and information may be processed on servers in the United States and other countries.
7. Security
We take measures to prevent leaks, loss and damage, such as encrypted connections (HTTPS) and limiting who can access our analytics tools and email.
8. Retention
Visit data is kept for as long as needed for the purposes above, according to the settings of each service. Inquiry emails are deleted once they are no longer needed after we have dealt with them. Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. You can unsubscribe using the method shown in each email or by contacting us. After you unsubscribe we stop sending, but we may keep a record of the unsubscription so we don’t email you again by mistake.
9. Your requests
You may ask us to tell you the purposes of use, disclose, correct, add to or delete, stop using or erase, or stop providing to third parties the personal data we hold about you, and to disclose records of provision to third parties. Please email the contact below. We will respond as required by law once we have confirmed your identity.
10. Visitors outside Japan
Where laws of your country or region apply, such as the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD), we rely on the following legal bases:
- Analytics and advertising data (section 3): your consent where the law requires it; otherwise our legitimate interest in improving and promoting the Site
- Newsletter: your consent when you sign up (you can unsubscribe at any time)
- Inquiry emails: our legitimate interest in replying to you
You have the right to access, rectify and erase your data, to restrict processing, to data portability, to object, to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting processing before withdrawal), and to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority where you live.
11. External sites
External sites linked from the Site — ticket sellers (e+, RIT Store), our online store (BASE), YouTube and others — are covered by their own operators’ privacy policies.
12. Changes
We may revise this policy when laws or the tools used on the Site change. Revisions will be posted on this page with an updated date.
