Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Hello! Lab (“this site”) handles personal information and access data.
Site Operator
This site is independently operated by Dai Otani. Please use the Report a Correction form to contact us.
Information Collected through the Contact Form
The correction form collects your name, email address, and message. We use this information only to:
- review reported issues and correct published information; and
- reply when necessary.
We do not provide submitted information to third parties without your consent, except when disclosure is required by law.
Form submissions are forwarded to the site operator’s email address. The form is provided using the WordPress plugin Contact Form 7.
Information Stored in Your Browser
The expanded and collapsed sections on the member list are stored in your browser’s local storage so your display preferences persist. The site operator cannot read this information. You can remove it in your browser settings.
Members selected in the Generation Checker are included in the result-page URL, but the selections are not stored on the server.

This site uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC, to understand how the site is used.
Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as viewed pages and time spent on the site. This data is collected anonymously and does not directly identify individuals. Google manages the collected data under its privacy policy.
You can refuse this collection by disabling cookies in your browser. The site remains available when cookies are disabled.
Published Information about People
Member and group information is based on information already made public through Hello! Project’s official website, group websites, news reports, and similar sources. We do not independently collect or publish private personal information.
This site does not publish photos of members. People are identified with circles that combine their family name and member color.
If published information is incorrect, or if you wish to request its removal, please use Report a Correction. We will review the request and prioritize messages from rights holders.
This is an unofficial fan site and is not affiliated with UP-FRONT GROUP or Hello! Project.
