The Operator handles personal data to operate the Service, and the Seller of Record handles personal data to sell products and process payments.

4. Cookies
For information on our use of cookies and similar technologies, please see our separate Cookie Policy.
5. Data Retention
We keep personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. After an account is deleted, we will endeavor to delete or anonymize the relevant data within a reasonable period, except where we must keep it by law (for example, accounting and tax records).
6. Security Measures
Our measures include appointing a person responsible for personal data, managing access rights, encrypting communications (TLS), hashing passwords, protection by Cloudflare (DDoS mitigation and a web application firewall), and supervising staff and service providers. When handling personal data in Malaysia, we apply security measures based on an understanding of that country's legal system.
7. Your Rights
Under applicable laws (including Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information and Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)), Users and Sellers may request access to, correction of, addition to, deletion of, or the cessation of use of their personal data held by us. Please make requests through the contact point in Section 11.
8. Minors
The Service is intended for adults (or those who have reached the age of contractual capacity in their country or region of residence). Minors must obtain consent from a parent or guardian before using the Service.
9. International Data Transfers
- The Operator is located in Malaysia and the Seller of Record is located in Japan. To provide the Service, personal data is transferred between Japan and Malaysia. Personal data may also be processed on servers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries by Stripe, World Host Group, and Cloudflare.
- By agreeing to this Policy when registering, Users and Sellers consent to the transfer of their personal data from Japan to other countries, including Malaysia. Information on the data protection systems of the destination countries:
- Malaysia: the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (as amended in 2024) applies. It gives individuals rights of access and correction, and requires notification of data breaches to the authority and the appointment of a data protection officer.
- United States: there is no comprehensive federal data protection law; personal data is protected by sector-specific federal laws and state laws (such as the California Consumer Privacy Act).
- United Kingdom: the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply, and Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission recognizes the UK as providing a level of protection equivalent to Japan's.
- The Operator and the Seller of Record have agreed on security measures, a prohibition on use for other purposes, and restrictions on onward transfers, and apply protections equivalent to Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information and Malaysia's PDPA.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may amend this Policy as we consider necessary by posting it on the Service. We will give advance notice of material changes where practicable.
