1. What data we collect
Information you provide voluntarily
When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. Subject lines are optional. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry.
Usage data collected automatically
If you consent to analytics cookies, we receive aggregated information about how visitors interact with the site — pages viewed, session duration, approximate geographic region, and device type. This data is anonymised and cannot be used to identify you individually.
Cookie and consent data
Your cookie preferences are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data does not leave your device unless you interact with third-party services you have consented to.
Data we do not collect
We do not collect payment information, physical addresses, phone numbers, social media profiles, or any sensitive categories of personal data unless explicitly stated otherwise.
2. How we use your data
- — Responding to enquiries. Contact form submissions are used only to reply to your message. We do not add you to mailing lists without your explicit consent.
- — Improving the website. Anonymised analytics data helps us understand which content is useful and where visitors encounter difficulties.
- — Legal compliance. We may retain certain records as required by applicable Japanese and international law.
- — Advertising (with consent). If you have consented to advertising cookies, anonymised data may be shared with advertising networks to measure campaign effectiveness.
3. Data protection measures
We take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls for any stored contact data, and regular review of our data handling practices.
Contact form submissions are handled directly and are not stored in publicly accessible databases. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights or interests, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
Personal data submitted through the contact form is retained only as long as necessary to conclude the relevant communication. We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties under any circumstances.
