> 1. Do you keep track of each member’s IP address?
No, we don’t.
However, if someone posts something that interferes with our business, we can identify the person through their IP address. If we file a damage report, I believe the police will investigate and impose some kind of penalty.
If the post doesn’t constitute a crime, the police will let us know that. We simply need to consult them if we believe it may be applicable.
There’s no need for us to keep track of IP addresses or investigate them ourselves.
Recently, more and more people who thought that online posts couldn’t constitute a crime have been sued. Anyone taking this lightly should properly understand where freedom of speech ends and disruptive conduct begins.
Since the content remains available, even if something is phrased as a question, once it goes beyond the limits of free speech, it may no longer be considered a genuine question.
> I’m a little concerned that there doesn’t seem to be much consideration for privacy and personal information.
As you can see by visiting the official website, Universe Club displays the JAPHIC mark.
This mark cannot be used without permission. It may only be displayed by companies that have passed all of the JAPHIC Mark Certification Organization’s strict personal-information protection requirements—which I believe are even stricter than the law.
It also certifies that the company has been recognized as having no problems whatsoever with protecting personal information.
Because there are people like you who have concerns, we obtained certification from an independent organization and display the mark to put those concerns at ease.
I think a company with this certification is far more trustworthy than one without it. I wonder whether other dating clubs have similar certification marks from independent organizations. In a way, companies without such a mark seem more concerning.
> 2. We basically don’t know who the column writers are.
Some people tell the staff themselves, though, so in those cases the staff will know.
> 3. Is there a month when you recommend joining?
Not particularly. However, during the pandemic, the acceptance criteria changed, and I mentioned that here several times. For example, there were periods when it was easier to get registered.
I also mentioned that offers tend to increase in summer, so registering around now may work well, as it gives you a chance to receive more offers when summer arrives.
If you wait until August, there’s a possibility that the seasonal peak will already have passed.
That said, although offers decline after autumn, I don’t think that necessarily makes it a bad time. So I don’t really have a specific month to recommend.
Come to think of it, women who register now can receive up to ¥30,000 in Amazon gift cards. The amount is determined by roulette, so it depends purely on luck—not on appearance or registration category. Normally, the gift card is worth ¥2,000.
> 4. Suppressing your feelings
If you suppress your feelings, I don’t think you’re likely to receive as much from men.
On the other hand, some people are able to build an intimate relationship while still being true to themselves, and as a result may end up receiving more overall—for example, having a car or expensive bags bought for them.
If you’re going to suppress your feelings, I think you’d earn more working in the adult-entertainment industry.
A dating club is the opposite. I think it’s a place where people interact as human beings without crossing certain boundaries.
1 → This is the only question box where IP addresses can be easily identified. It’s intended to deal with anonymous users who post defamatory comments or don’t follow the rules. Regular members’ personal information is protected. Check the club’s website—they’re certified by an external personal information protection authority.
2 → Columns don’t include individuals’ names or club names, so most club staff probably wouldn’t know. Some writers even use a column name that differs from their club name, making them even harder to identify. Since your name isn’t shown, I don’t think you need to worry about it.
3 → More than the length of time you’ve been registered, the number of offers you receive depends on your appearance.
4 → I wouldn’t recommend thinking that way, but if you choose option D and agree to an adult relationship every time for the amount they offer, you’d probably receive quite a lot. That is, assuming you’re mentally strong enough.
Personally, I recommend focusing on a few papas you genuinely like and aiming for long-term arrangements. That seems to provide a better balance between the amount you earn and your mental well-being.
> If I saw anyone and killed my feelings, how much do you think I could make per month?
If your only goal is to make money, you’re better off not joining.
This is a dating club where money is involved.
But if money is your top priority and you’d also like to enjoy the relationship without shutting off your feelings, then go ahead and join.
> So IP addresses are being tracked now? It’s you again.
That makes it possible to turn this into a proper Q&A site that’s actually useful to readers—in other words, it prevents the same person from repeatedly posting prank or time-killing questions.
1. We don’t have access to each member’s IP address. I don’t understand why recording the questioner’s IP address would imply a lack of consideration for privacy or personal information.
You come across as someone whose sense of entitlement has gotten out of hand, so I don’t think you’re very well suited to this kind of relationship.
2. Member information is shared in notes that only Universe staff can access.
It seems that sometimes the notes mention that someone is a column writer, while other times they don’t. I doubt staff at different branches often discuss male members from other areas.
Female members have no way of knowing whether a man making an offer is a column writer unless he identifies himself as such when contacting them.
3. I don’t think so. As many women want to register in Tokyo, the system has been adjusted to prevent that from happening.
4. Please don’t engage in prostitution through a dating club.
A dating club is a place to meet someone for a relationship involving an allowance; it is not intended to arrange the buying and selling of sex.
In conclusion, I recommend that you simply continue feeling uneasy about the apparent lack of consideration for privacy and personal information—and refrain from registering.
