Operator
Legal disclosure (特定商取引法に基づく表記)
No disclosure page was found.
Facts we confirmed
- No 特定商取引法 disclosure page was found (we checked the official site's footer, imprint, terms, privacy policy and help center)
- Searching Japan's corporate number registry for the company name (Latin letters and katakana) found no company corresponding to ROMEO B.V.
- The official imprint names the operator as "ROMEO BV" (Amsterdam, Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce no. 70533512), but the developer name in the Japanese App Store is "PlanetRomeo BV"
- The imprint has no phone number, only a fax number. No representative or responsible person is named in the imprint, terms or privacy policy
- The official site is in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese; no Japanese version of the terms or privacy policy was found, and the help center has no Japanese version either
- The terms say communication with users may be in English. We found no statement that you can contact support in Japanese
- The current terms say 「Valid until 22 October 2026」, and that new terms apply from 22 October
- The terms and privacy policy opened from the Japanese App Store listing are old versions (updated January 2018 and April 2021) on a different domain (romeoapp.com), not the current versions on the official site
- The terms say prices are shown in euros on the price list on the site and in the app, but no amounts were found on pages viewable without logging in. The Japanese App Store listing shows amounts in yen
- Age is handled by entering a date of birth at sign-up and confirming in the terms that you are 18 or over; no mention of age checks by ID or similar was found
