Data controller

Kuchimoto LLC, 30 N Gould St, Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA. Contact: samuel@kuchimoto.com.

Data collected

  • Contact form: the business concerned, name, email address, phone if you give it, message.
  • Waiting lists (Canada, United States): name, email address, city or location, services you are interested in.
  • Kuchimoto Lab and Kuchimoto Studio requests: work email address and need (step 1), then name, company or website, project, budget and timeline if you give them (step 2). We also record the page you write from, the first page of your visit, the site you came from and the campaign parameters (utm); the Google Ads click id (gclid) only if you accepted cookies.
  • Booking a call: if you book a call on the thank-you page, Cal.com receives your name, email address and the slot you choose.
  • Audience measurement and advertising: with your consent, Google Analytics and Google Ads record the pages viewed and the requests sent from our ads (see Cookies).
  • Happy Homes Thailand bookings: service, home, preferred date and time, address of the service, name, email address, phone, details.
  • Payment: handled by Stripe. Your card details are entered with Stripe and never reach us; we receive the payment confirmation.
  • Technical data: our host records technical logs (IP address, pages requested) to run and secure the site.
  • Email triage demo (/demo-triage): the emails or the screenshot you add are read and analysed in your browser and are not sent to us; reading a screenshot downloads the text-recognition program from cdn.jsdelivr.net. If the in-depth AI analysis is offered and you tick it, the content is sent to our AI provider to produce the summary.

Purposes and legal bases

  • Replying to your messages and project requests: steps taken at your request before a contract, or our legitimate interest in replying.
  • Telling you when we open in your country: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
  • Measuring the site's audience and how well our ads work: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
  • Carrying out and following up a booking: performance of the contract.
  • Keeping our accounts: legal obligation.
  • Keeping the site secure: legitimate interest.

Recipients

Your data is never sold or transferred. It is shared only with:

  • Vercel Inc. (United States), which hosts the site;
  • Resend (United States), which carries the forms to our inbox;
  • Neon Inc. (United States), which hosts the database of Kuchimoto Lab and Studio requests in the European Union (Frankfurt);
  • Google Ireland Limited (Ireland) and Google LLC (United States), for Google Analytics and Google Ads, if you accept cookies;
  • Cal.com, Inc. (United States), if you book a call;
  • our AI provider (Anthropic or OpenAI, United States), only if you tick the in-depth AI analysis on the /demo-triage demo;
  • Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (Ireland), for payment;
  • whoever carries out the service, for a booking (address, date, details).

Where data is processed outside the European Union, the transfer is covered by the safeguards provided for by the GDPR (an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses).

How long we keep it

  • Messages and requests: three years after our last exchange.
  • Waiting lists: until we open and tell you, or until you unsubscribe, and at most three years.
  • Bookings: for the length of the business relationship; accounting records are kept for ten years (article L123-22 of the French Commercial Code).
  • Technical logs: the limited period set by the host.
  • Audience measurement: the period set in Google Analytics, at most 14 months.
  • The /demo-triage demo: KUCHIMOTO keeps nothing; with the AI analysis, the provider may keep the content for a limited period under its own terms.

Cookies

Without your consent, the site only uses storage it needs: your choice in the cookie banner (local storage), so we don't ask again, and, for the length of your visit, its first page and the campaign parameters (session storage), added to your request if you send one.

Only with your consent do Google Analytics and Google Ads set audience-measurement and advertising cookies, and is the Google Ads click id added to your request. Until you accept, these tools set no cookie (Google's Consent Mode). You can change your mind at any time with the “Manage cookies” link at the bottom of every page. The Stripe and Cal.com pages apply their own policies.

Your rights

You can access, correct or erase your data, restrict or object to its processing, ask for it to be ported and withdraw your consent, by writing to samuel@kuchimoto.com. We reply within one month.

You can also lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority (cnil.fr).
