PRIVACY POLICY

How we handle your information

HONEYSUCKLE Inc. (“we”, “us”) is a company registered in Japan. This policy explains what we collect when you contact us, why we hold it, and what you can ask us to do with it. We handle personal information in line with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI).

1. What we collect

When you submit our enquiry form, we receive:

  • Nameso we know who we are replying to
  • Companyto understand the business context
  • Business emailto send our reply
  • Website / product URLoptional; helps us assess your product
  • Your messagewhat you are considering for Japan
  • Technical detailsIP address, submission time, and the page you submitted from

We also collect limited information about how visitors use this site through cookies and similar technologies. Section 4 covers that.

2. Why we use it

  • To answer your enquiry and continue the conversation
  • To tell you about our services and follow up on your interest
  • To improve our services and this website
  • To detect and prevent spam, abuse, and unauthorised access
  • To meet our legal obligations and exercise our legal rights

If we ever need to use your information for something outside these purposes, we will ask you first.

3. Keeping it secure

We limit who can access enquiry data, encrypt traffic to this site over TLS, and apply access controls to the systems that hold it.

Our enquiry form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to tell real visitors apart from automated submissions. It runs in the background and does not ask you to solve puzzles.

4. Cookies and analytics

We use Google Tag Manager (provided by Google LLC) to understand how this site is used. Through it, cookies and similar technologies may record things like which pages you viewed, where you arrived from, and what browser you use.

On its own, this information does not identify you. Where it can be combined with other information to identify you, we treat it as personal information under this policy.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of this site may not work properly if you do.

5. Service providers we rely on

We may engage service providers to handle information on our behalf, and where we do, we supervise them as the law requires.

This website and enquiry form run on cloud services from Cloudflare, Inc.,Google LLC, and GitHub, Inc.

Under guidance from Japan’s Personal Information Protection Commission, using a cloud service does not by itself count as sharing personal data with a third party, provided the cloud provider is contractually barred from accessing the data it stores and appropriate access controls are in place. We assess each service we use on that basis.

6. Where your information goes

The providers above are based outside Japan, so information you send us may be stored on servers in other countries.

We review the information each provider publishes about its practices and the data protection regime in the relevant country, and take appropriate measures accordingly.

7. Sharing with third parties

We do not share your personal information with third parties without your consent, except where:

  • the law requires it
  • it is needed to protect someone’s life, safety, or property and consent cannot reasonably be obtained
  • it is particularly necessary for public health or the welfare of children and consent cannot reasonably be obtained
  • we are cooperating with a public authority carrying out its legal duties, and seeking consent would obstruct that work

8. How long we keep it

We keep your information for as long as we need it for the purposes above, or for as long as the law requires us to. Once neither applies, we delete or dispose of it without undue delay.

9. Your rights

You can ask us to disclose, correct, add to, delete, or stop using your personal information, or to stop sharing it with third parties. We will verify your identity and respond within a reasonable period, as the law provides.

Write to us at the address in section 11.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the law or our business changes. The revised version takes effect when we publish it here.
