Pricing
The Private Gallery subscription is based on a monthly payment system that charges according to the amount of photos and videos used each month.
| Product name | Data usage | Fees |
|---|---|---|
| Trial plan | Amount of data equivalent to 500 yen | Free |
| Base plan | Unlimited | Billed monthly according to data usage |
Trial Plant is a trial period, and after user registration, you can try it for free until you reach a monthly data amount equivalent to 500 yen.
The base plan is a subscription that allows you to continue using the private gallery after the one-month trial period ends.
We will introduce three guidelines depending on the frequency of use.
| Use of photos and videos | Browsing data | Additional saved data | Map use | Pricing image |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Less | 15GB | 1GB | 10 times | 500 yen/month |
| Normal | 25GB | 3GB | 80 times | 1,000 yen/month |
| Many | 200GB | 4GB | 100 times | 3,000 yen/month |
Additional saved data is the amount of data saved for photos and videos uploaded in the corresponding month. All stored data charges are 2.5 yen per 1GB. For example, for 100GB, 250 yen will be added to the above estimate.
Calculated based on the items in the table below. Monthly charges are determined based on data charges for viewing photos and videos, storage charges, and usage of maps.
| Calculation item | Calculation formula |
|---|---|
| Basic fee | 50 yen |
| Data transfer fee | Current month's data transfer amount × data transfer size unit price 11.4 yen/GB |
| Data storage fee |
(Cumulative data storage amount × Cumulative data storage unit price 2.5 yen/GB) ＋ (Number of data uploads in the current month × Unit price of data uploads 0.47 yen/time) |
| Map usage fee |
(Number of map views in the current month × Unit price for map display 0.7 yen/time) ＋ (Number of map search movements in the current month × Unit price for map search movement 0.5 yen/time) |
| System usage fee | 30% on the total of data transfer fee + data storage fee + map usage fee |
* Data transfer refers to downloading photo and image data from the server when viewing photos and videos.
Benefits of Usage-Based Billing
With usage-based billing, you only pay for what you use, ensuring that costs align with your actual usage.
You can choose the necessary features and storage capacity, allowing for unlimited and uninterrupted data usage.
Additionally, the "semi-mandatory environment" of a paid service encourages users to carefully select and preserve their most valuable moments and records.
Data Storage
At Private Gallery, we entrust ourselves with highly confidential data and therefore operate on AWS (Amazon Web Services) infrastructure that meets the security standards of international financial and legal institutions.
All uploaded image data is protected by strict access control through CloudFront cookie-based authentication, allowing only authenticated, logged-in users to view the content. Even if a URL is leaked, it cannot be accessed from outside. From private memories to visuals that require the highest level of confidentiality, all data is securely preserved. There is also no limit on storage capacity — you can continuously store and utilize as many images and as much data as you wish, without degradation. This security design is based on the principle that even "photographs" are treated as "classified information." Visuals that should never be seen, images that should never leave your private space — all remain safely enclosed. This is the foundation of Private Gallery’s security policy.
Payment Methods
Subscription fees are processed via credit card payment in Japanese Yen (JPY).
The subscription begins as soon as the base plan activation is completed, and automatic billing is processed on the 4th of each month (Tokyo time), based on the usage of the previous month.
How Usage Data is Calculated
All usage data is converted into Japan Standard Time (JST) for calculation.
For example, if you use the service on January 31, 2025, at 19:00 in the Paris time zone, it will be recorded as February 1, 2025, at 03:00 in Japan time, and counted as usage for February.
Billing Cycle
You can pause or resume your subscription at any time via My Menu, allowing flexible management according to your usage needs.
Start with a **one-month free trial** to explore the service. At the end of the trial period, you can decide whether to continue the subscription.
