What We Collect
When you submit our contact form, we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- The content of your message
We do not collect any other personal information directly from our website. We do not use tracking cookies. We do not use third-party advertising or behavioural tracking.
Why We Collect It (Legal Basis)
We use your information solely to respond to your enquiry about our products, sharpening services, distribution opportunities, or wholesale partnerships. Mina Scissors sells exclusively through authorised distributors and retailers — this website does not process consumer purchases. Under the GDPR, our legal basis for processing is legitimate interest — specifically, the need to respond to business enquiries initiated by you. Under Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), we process your information for the purpose of responding to your enquiry as stated at the point of collection.
We do not use your information for marketing. We do not sell it. We do not share it with third parties for commercial purposes.
Third-Party Services
Our contact form is processed by Netlify Forms, which forwards submissions to our email inbox. Netlify may temporarily store form submissions as part of its service.
Our website is hosted on Netlify. Netlify may log IP addresses for abuse prevention and analytics as described in its own privacy policy. We do not have direct access to those server logs.
No other third-party services receive your personal data through our website.
International Data Transfers
Mina Scissors is based in Japan. Your data may be processed in Japan and in the countries where our service providers (Netlify) operate. By submitting the contact form, you consent to this transfer. We take reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy, regardless of where it is processed.
How Long We Keep Your Data
Form submissions remain in our email inbox until the enquiry is resolved and for a reasonable period afterwards for follow-up. We do not retain personal data longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. If you would like us to delete your data, email us at info@minascissors.com and we will do so promptly.

Children’s Privacy
Our products are professional tools intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a child has submitted information through our contact form, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top will reflect any changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
