Privacy Policy

Sekihi takes the protection of personal data seriously. This policy explains what information may be collected when you visit this website or submit an enquiry, how it is used, and the choices available to you. It applies to data processed by Sekihi in connection with the website at this domain.

The legal entity responsible for data processing under this policy is Sekihi, located at 3-8-22 Marunouchi, Naka-ku, Nagoya 460-0002, Japan. For enquiries relating to personal data, contact us via the details on our Contact page.

We collect only what is reasonably necessary. The categories below reflect what may be gathered in the course of normal site use.

• Enquiry form data

  When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email address and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry.

• Usage and analytics data

  If you accept analytics cookies, aggregated data about how pages are navigated may be collected. This does not identify you individually and is used only to understand how the site is used in general terms.

• Cookie consent preferences

  Your cookie choices are stored locally in your browser via localStorage. No server-side session or account is created as a result of visiting this site.

• Technical data

  Standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, and the pages requested. This data is held for a short period for security purposes and is not used to identify individuals.

• Responding to enquiries

  Data submitted via the contact form is used to respond to the specific message sent. No marketing or follow-up communications are sent without explicit agreement.

• Website improvement

  Anonymised analytics data, where consent has been given, helps identify pages that work well and those that may need adjustment. No individual is profiled as part of this process.

• Legal basis for processing

  Processing of contact form data is based on the legitimate interest of handling your request. Analytics processing is based on your freely given consent, which may be withdrawn at any time.

• Third-party sharing

  Personal data is not sold or transferred to third parties for marketing. Where analytics tools are in use, data may be processed by those providers under their own terms, subject to your consent choices.

• Retention periods

  Enquiry correspondence is retained for a reasonable period to manage the engagement, then deleted. Analytics data is aggregated and not linked to individuals beyond the measurement window.

• Transmission security

  Data transmitted to and from this website is protected using standard TLS encryption. This applies to all form submissions and general page requests.

• Access controls

  Access to correspondence and any stored data is limited to members of the Sekihi team handling the relevant enquiry. No broader access is granted without specific need.

• Breach response

  In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, Sekihi will notify affected individuals promptly and take the necessary steps to address the situation.

You have a number of rights in relation to personal data that Sekihi holds about you.

• Right to erasure

  You may ask us to delete personal data we hold about you, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain certain records.

• Right to data portability

  Where processing is based on consent and is carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

• Right to object

  You may object to the processing of your data where it is based on legitimate interests. We will consider the objection and cease processing unless there are compelling grounds to continue.
