PRIVACY POLICY

What We Collect (And Why)

Hi there! We know privacy policies aren’t the most exciting ramen topping on the menu—but they’re important. So here’s everything you need to know about how we collect, use, and protect your info here at Kimura’s Kitchen. Spoiler: we never sell your data. Ever.

​

When you sign up for a class, subscribe to our newsletter, or buy a cookbook, we may collect:

• Your name – so we know what to call you.

• Your email – to send you confirmations, class info, updates, or the occasional noodle-related nugget of wisdom.

• Payment details – processed securely through trusted platforms like Stripe. We don’t store your card info ourselves.

• Your address – if you buy a cookbook, so we know where to send it.

• Booking details – like which class you booked and when, so we don’t accidentally send you to a tempura night when you signed up for ramen.

How We Use Your Info

We only use your info to:

• Deliver the services you signed up for

• Send you reminders, updates, and the occasional special offer

• Improve our offerings (like figuring out which classes are hot, and which need a bit more spice)

• Stay legally compliant

How We Keep It Safe

Your data is stored with secure third-party services like:

• Mailchimp (for emails)

• Acuity/Squarespace Scheduling (for class bookings)

• Stripe (for payments)

We trust these tools because they’re industry standard and take data security seriously. If anything ever goes wrong (fingers crossed it won’t), we’ll let you know right away.

Cookies (Not the Edible Kind)

Our site might use cookies to make things run smoothly (like remembering your preferences). These are the techy kind, not the chewy chocolate chip kind—but we’re working on that.

No Sharing With Strangers

We’ll never sell or rent your info. We only share it when necessary to deliver services (like payment processing), and only with trusted providers. No spam. Ever.

Your Rights

You’re in control. You can:

• Unsubscribe anytime (there’s a link in every email)

• Ask us what data we have on you

• Request deletion of your info

• Say "no thanks" to certain uses of your data

Just email us at info@kimuraskitchen.com and we’ll sort it out.

Changes to This Policy

Sometimes policies need a little seasoning. We might tweak this from time to time, and when we do, we’ll post the updated version here. Major changes? We’ll let you know.
