This Privacy Policy explains how Atelier d'itario ("I", "me", "my") collects and uses personal data through the website rmc-atelier.biz (the "Site"). I respect your privacy and handle your data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI).

1. Who is responsible for your data (Data Controller)

Itaru Yoshikawa, operating as Atelier d'itario, based in Chiba, Japan. Contact for any privacy request: https://rmc-atelier.biz/form/.

2. What data I collect

• Inquiry form data you provide voluntarily: your name, company, email address, country/market of interest, and the content of your message.
• Usage data collected automatically via analytics: e.g. pages visited, approximate location, browser/device type, referring site, and similar technical information (see the Cookie Policy).

3. Why I use your data and the legal basis (GDPR Art. 6)

Purpose	Legal basis
Responding to your inquiry and providing requested information	Performance of a contract / steps prior to a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)), and your consent (Art. 6(1)(a))
Understanding and improving how the Site is used (analytics)	Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a))
Keeping records and meeting legal obligations	Legitimate interests / legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(f)/(c))

Under the APPI, your personal information is used only within the scope of the purposes stated above.

4. How long I keep your data

Inquiry data is retained for 24 months after our last contact, unless you ask me to delete it sooner. Analytics data is retained according to the analytics provider's settings.

5. Who I share data with

I do not sell your data. It may be processed by service providers that help operate the Site:

• Website hosting: XSERVER Inc.
• Analytics: Google (Google Analytics) — see Cookie Policy
• Email/form delivery: WPForms LLC

These providers process data on my behalf under appropriate agreements.

6. International data transfers

The Site is operated from Japan. If you access it from the EU/EEA, your data is transferred to Japan. Japan has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection (adequacy decision of 23 January 2019), so this transfer is lawful under the GDPR. Where other providers (e.g. Google) transfer data outside the EEA, they rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, objection, and to withdraw consent at any time. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Under the APPI, you may request disclosure, correction, or deletion of your personal information.
To exercise any right, contact me at https://rmc-atelier.biz/form/.

8. Cookies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies. Please see the separate Cookie Policy.

9. Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version.
