The Ishi and Ki
Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 4, 2026
Data Protection Overview
Ishi and Ki (“we,” “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our international clients. This policy outlines how we handle personal data as a US-based platform facilitating property liaison services in Japan.
Data We Collect
We collect information that you provide directly to us via our “Intake Form” and Facebook communications, including:
- Contact details (Name, Email).
- Financial preferences (Investment budget, financing status).
- Lifestyle preferences (the “Lifestyle Ki” brief).
- Site usage data (access logs for your private Vault).
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your data primarily to fulfill our contractual obligations to you (providing property curation) and based on our legitimate interest in securing our platform and communicating with potential clients.
International Transfers
Your data is stored on secure servers in the United States. However, to provide our services, this data is accessed by our authorized Liaisons located in Japan. By using our service, you consent to this cross-border transfer of information necessary for on-the-ground property vetting.
Data Security & The "Vault"
Your property reports are hosted in a password-gated “Client Vault.”
No-Index Protocols: We implement no-index protocols to ensure your private data and property curations do not appear in public search results.
Payment Data: We do not store your credit card information; all payments are processed through PCI-compliant third-party providers (Stripe).
Third-Party Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties for marketing purposes. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our platform or conducting our business, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
Your Rights
Regardless of your location, Ishi and Ki honors the right to access, update, or delete your personal information. To exercise these rights, please contact us.
