Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from kawaiigiftory.com (the "Site"). Please note that the primary purpose of our Site is to sell stationery and related products, not to collect users' personal information.
1. Personal Information We Collect
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as "Device Information".
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- "Cookies" are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. We use three types of cookies: Necessary Cookies (required for the Site to function properly, cannot be disabled), Analytical Cookies (used for Site optimization and data analysis), and Marketing Cookies (used for targeted advertising). You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie consent banner or by adjusting your browser settings. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- "Log files" track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- "Web beacons," "tags," and "pixels" are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, PayPal details). We do not store complete payment information. When you provide sensitive personal information such as credit card numbers, it is securely protected and encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. All payment transactions are securely processed by third-party payment gateways. We also collect your email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as "Order Information".
When we talk about "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
2. How Do We Use Your Personal Information?
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations, and processing returns or refunds). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our stationery, gifts and other products or services.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
3. Sharing Your Personal Information
We respect your privacy and absolutely do not sell your personal or contact information to any third parties. We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store -- you can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site -- you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We also share your Personal Information with our logistics and delivery partners to fulfill your orders. These partners will only use your information (including name, shipping address, contact number, and order details) for shipping, customs clearance and delivery purposes, and are bound by strict data protection obligations. You can review our logistics partners below:

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
4. Behavioural Advertising & Email Marketing
As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you (including stationery, gifts and other related products). However, we will never use your personal information or pictures for advertising purposes without your explicit consent.
Promotions and Incentives: We do not offer free gifts or incentives solely in exchange for your personal information. Any promotional gifts or incentives are only provided when they are part of a product purchase, a standard marketing campaign, or when collecting personal information is not the primary purpose of the activity.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link located at the bottom of any marketing email or by contacting us at support@kawaiigiftory.com.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Site. You have full control over your cookie preferences and can manage them in the following ways:

- Third-party opt-outs: For cookies placed by third parties such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel, you can use the opt-out tools provided by those services (see Section 4 above).

7. Your Rights & International Data Transfers

Please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada, the United States, and China. Where personal data is transferred to China or other countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
8. Data Retention

When your personal information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
