This page explains what information MAISON YUKI collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. We keep this simple and honest, in the same spirit as everything else here.

MAISON YUKI (“we,” “us,” “our”) is a personal publication about Japanese tea, written from Japan for readers around the world. This site is operated by Yuki Taga. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at ysgrows@outlook.jp.
We aim to collect as little as possible. Specifically:
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to keep the site working smoothly and to measure general traffic patterns through analytics services. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; some features may then work differently. Where required, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies.
Some pages on this site contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. This includes the Amazon Associates Program: As an Amazon Associate, MAISON YUKI earns from qualifying purchases. Affiliate partners may use cookies to track that a purchase originated from our site. We only recommend products we genuinely believe in.
We use the information we collect to reply to your enquiries, to operate and improve the site, to understand which content is helpful, and to comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
We share information only with service providers that help us run the site — for example, our contact-form provider, hosting, and analytics and affiliate partners — and only as far as needed for those services. These providers handle data under their own privacy terms.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain uses. Readers in the European Union and United Kingdom have these rights under the GDPR; readers in California and other regions may have similar rights. To make a request, simply email us and we will respond.
We keep contact-form messages only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and our records, and we take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to keep your data safe.
This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above. Significant changes will be noted clearly.
Questions about your privacy or this policy are always welcome at ysgrows@outlook.jp, or through our contact page.
