Overview
Your privacy is important to us. It is the policy of Bia Kaori Mi to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across this website, biakaorimi.com, and any other sites we own and operate.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and protected, and what rights you have in relation to it. By continuing to use this site, you accept the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
We only request personal information when we genuinely need it to provide a service to you. We collect it by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We also let you know why we are collecting it and how it will be used.
Information we may collect includes:
- Contact information — such as your name and email address, when you contact us directly (e.g., via a speaker invitation form or email).
- Usage data — such as pages visited, time on site, browser type, and referring URLs, collected automatically via analytics tools.
- Cookie data — as described in the Cookies section below.
We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as health data, financial data, or government identifiers) unless you voluntarily provide it in direct communication with us.
How We Use Your Information
Information we collect is used solely to operate and improve this website and to respond to inquiries. Specifically, we may use it to:
- Respond to your messages, questions, or speaker invitation requests;
- Understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve content and user experience;
- Serve relevant advertising (see Cookies and Advertising below);
- Comply with legal obligations when required.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not share personally identifiable information publicly except when required by law.
Data Retention
We only retain collected information for as long as necessary to provide the requested service. When we store data, we protect it using commercially acceptable means to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.
When personal data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it. If deletion is not immediately possible, we will isolate the data from further processing until deletion is feasible.
Cookies and Advertising
This site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your experience and to serve relevant advertising. You may choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect some site functionality.
- We use Google AdSense to display advertising. AdSense uses a DoubleClick cookie to serve more relevant ads across the web and to limit how often a given ad is shown to you. For more information, see Google's AdSense privacy FAQ.
- We use advertising to offset the costs of running this site. Behavioral advertising cookies used on this site are designed to show you the most relevant ads by anonymously tracking your interests.
- Affiliate tracking cookies allow us to identify whether visitors arrived via a partner site, so we can credit partners appropriately.
- We use Google Analytics (or equivalent) to collect anonymized data about site usage. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or by using the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool.
Third-Party Links
This site may contain links to external websites not operated by us. Please be aware that we have no control over the content or practices of those sites and cannot accept responsibility for their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.

You have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
- Correction — request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Deletion — request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal obligations;
- Opt out — decline to provide personal information, with the understanding that some services may be unavailable as a result.
