Privacy & Data Use

Shibui Collection takes privacy seriously and aims to handle personal information carefully, transparently and with restraint.

This page explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used.

What information we collect

We collect only what is necessary for professional communication. This may include your name, email address, and professional affiliation, when you choose to get in touch with us or subscribe to our editorial emails. We do not collect sensitive personal data.

Website Analytics – No Cookies

This website uses Plausible Analytics to understand how the site is used. Plausible is a privacy‑focused, cookie‑free analytics tool. No cookies are set and no personal data is collected or stored. All analytics data is processed anonymously and in aggregate, and is hosted within the European Union. You can read more about Plausible’s approach to privacy at plausible.io.

How we use this information

We use contact details only to: respond to enquiries, communicate about ongoing or past professional work, share occasional editorial updates linked to Shibui’s journal and writing

We do not use personal data for advertising, profiling, or third‑party marketing.

Our editorial emails

From time to time, we send an email sharing new writing or updates from Shibui. These emails are occasional and editorial in nature. They are not promotional and do not include sales material. You will receive these emails only where there is a professional connection, prior contact, or where you have explicitly subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in each email, and your details will be removed immediately.

Legal basis for processing

We process personal data on the basis of legitimate professional interest — meaning the communication is relevant, limited, and something a recipient would reasonably expect. Where consent has been explicitly given, we rely on that consent.

You can object to or withdraw from communication at any time.

How long we keep data

We keep personal data only for as long as it remains relevant to professional communication. If you unsubscribe or ask to be removed, your details will be deleted promptly.

Sharing data

We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties.

Your rights

You have the right to: request access to the data we hold about you, ask for corrections, request deletion, object to further communication

A note on approach

Just as we aim to reduce noise in our design work, we aim to keep communication minimal, relevant and respectful. If at any point our emails or data use feel unnecessary, we encourage you to let us know.
