Facts we confirmed
- No 特定商取引法 disclosure page was found (we checked the official site's Japanese footer, terms, privacy policy and Japanese help center)
- Searching Japan's corporate number registry for the company name (in Latin letters and katakana) and the app name found no company corresponding to Perry Street Software
- The terms and privacy policy opened from the footer of the official site's Japanese pages are English documents; no Japanese version was found
- The address in the terms and privacy policy is Miami Beach, Florida, US, and the terms are governed by Florida law. The official legal-information page gives no phone number
- No representative or responsible person is named in the terms or privacy policy. Two articles in the Japanese help center are signed by 「エリック・シルバーバーグ」 as CEO
- The official site describes the paid plan (SCRUFF Pro) features but gives no amounts; the Japanese App Store listing shows amounts in yen
- The Japanese help center says you can't use it if the age registered with the App Store or Google Play is below the minimum. The terms set the minimum at 18 (or the local age of majority if higher)
- Age checks by selfie video or ID are said to apply in "certain regions" including the UK, without saying whether Japan is included. The safety policy says it may ask for a live-camera selfie when underage use is suspected
- On payment, the terms say "Android uses Stripe" but also "all payments go through the app stores", while the Japanese help center says Stripe is used on both iOS and Android
- The member count differs between pages (「40M+」 on the official site's Japanese top page, 「3000万人以上」 (30 million+) in the Japanese App Store description)
