This privacy policy explains how StitchCraft Studio processes personal data in connection with its website and appointment-based tailoring services in Japan. It applies to inquiries, booking requests, and related website interactions.
StitchCraft Studio processes personal data to respond to contact requests, manage appointment-related communications, provide technical delivery of website functions, maintain security, and keep records needed for operational administration. Data is not used for unconfirmed analytics or marketing purposes.
Data may be shared with service providers that support website hosting, message delivery, security, or related technical functions, provided they act under appropriate confidentiality and processing obligations. No broader sharing is described unless it is necessary for the stated operational purpose.
Personal data may be disclosed where required to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, protect website security, or support the technical delivery of messages and appointment handling. Any disclosure is limited to the extent reasonably necessary for that purpose.
StitchCraft Studio may process name, email address, phone number if provided, inquiry message, and service preferences when a person submits a contact form, requests an appointment, or communicates by email or phone. We may also process server request metadata and browser or device information for security and technical delivery.
Personal data is received from contact form submissions, appointment requests, email correspondence, and telephone calls. Technical data is generated automatically when the website is accessed and when messages are delivered through the local acknowledgement handler.
Confirmed cookie uses are limited to essential site operation and privacy preferences. No analytics or marketing cookies are confirmed as active, and such uses are not described as part of this policy.
The website uses cookies or similar technologies only for essential site operation and privacy preferences. Where browser settings allow, users may block or delete cookies, but essential functions may not operate as intended if those settings are changed.
Subject to legal limits, individuals may request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion where appropriate, or restriction of processing. Requests may be declined or limited where retention or disclosure is required by law or necessary for legitimate operational purposes.
To protect privacy and prevent unauthorized disclosure, requests may require verification of identity and sufficient detail to locate the relevant records. The response process may vary depending on the type of request and the applicable legal basis for retention.
Personal data is retained only for as long as needed to respond to inquiries, manage appointments, maintain service records, meet operational requirements, or satisfy legal obligations. When retention is no longer necessary, data is deleted or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable policy and law.
If this policy is updated, the revised version will apply from the stated effective date. Material changes may be reflected on the website or communicated through a reasonable contact channel where appropriate.
This section identifies the channels used for privacy-related communication.
