Privacy Policy

01 Introduction

Honokowai Ltd (“Honokowai”, “we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and safeguard information when you visit hono-kowai.com or engage with us as a business partner.

We are the data controller for the personal data we process. Our registered address is 36 Aygyptou Avenue, 6030 Larnaca, Cyprus (Company Reg: HE442581). For any privacy-related questions, contact us at hello@hono-kowai.com.

02 Information we collect

Information you provide

When you complete our partner enquiry form, send us an email, or otherwise contact us, we collect the details you choose to share — typically your name, business email, company and the contents of your message.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website we automatically receive certain technical data, such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL and the pages you view. This is collected via cookies and similar technologies (see “Cookies and tracking”).

Information from third parties

We may receive limited information from analytics, advertising or partner platforms — for example, aggregated campaign performance or attribution events.

03 How we use your information

We use personal data to:

• Respond to enquiries and communicate about potential partnerships;
• Operate, maintain and improve our website and services;
• Measure performance of our marketing, content and acquisition activities;
• Send relevant business updates where you have indicated you wish to receive them;
• Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
• Protect against fraud, abuse and security incidents.

We do not sell your personal data.

04 Legal basis for processing

Where the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Consent — for non-essential cookies and any marketing communications where consent is required.
• Contract — to take steps at your request prior to entering a partnership, or to perform an agreement with you.
• Legitimate interests — to operate our business, communicate with prospective partners, secure our systems and measure marketing performance, balanced against your rights.
• Legal obligation — where processing is required to comply with applicable law.

05 Cookies and tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to make our website work, understand how it’s used and (where you consent) personalise content and measure campaigns. Categories include:

• Strictly necessary — required for the site to function (security, session, etc.).
• Analytics — help us understand usage so we can improve.
• Marketing & advertising — used to measure and attribute campaign performance.

You can manage your preferences via your browser settings or our cookie banner where shown. Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

06 Sharing your information

We share personal data only where necessary, with categories including:

• Service providers — hosting, email, analytics and CRM providers who process data on our behalf under appropriate agreements.
• Advertising and analytics partners — where you have consented or where permitted by law, for measurement and attribution.
• Professional advisers — lawyers, accountants and auditors where reasonably required.
• Authorities — when required by law or to protect legal rights.
• Successors — in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality.

07 International transfers

Honokowai is based in Cyprus and processes data within the European Economic Area (EEA) where possible. Some of our service providers may be located outside the EEA. Where this is the case, we put in place appropriate safeguards — such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent — to ensure your data receives a comparable level of protection.

08 Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purposes set out in this policy, including to satisfy legal, accounting or reporting requirements. Enquiries we don’t take forward are typically deleted within 24 months of last contact. Where we are required to retain information longer (e.g. tax records), we do so for the period required.

09 Your rights

Where the GDPR applies, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access a copy of the data we hold about you;
• Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Erasure in certain circumstances;
• Restriction of processing;
• Objection to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing;
• Portability of data you provided to us;
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
• Complain to a supervisory authority — in Cyprus, the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection (dataprotection.gov.cy).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@hono-kowai.com.

10 Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11 Children’s privacy

Our services are intended for business users and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we’ll take appropriate steps to delete it.

12 Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review the policy periodically.
