Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Mikasa. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you about how we look after your personal data when you visit our website and use our services, and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you:

• Identity Data: includes name, username or similar identifier
• Contact Data: includes email address

3. How We Use Your Information

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• To provide and maintain our service
• To notify you about changes to our service
• To provide customer support
• To detect, prevent and address technical issues

4. Authentication and Account Data

When you sign in to Mikasa using Google authentication, we collect:

• Your email address
• Your Google profile information (name, profile picture)
• Authentication tokens to maintain your session

This information is used solely to provide you with access to our services and to personalize your experience on our platform.

5. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. We use industry-standard encryption and security protocols to protect your data.

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

6. Cookies and Essential Technologies

We use essential cookies necessary for authentication and maintaining your session. These cookies are required for the service to function properly and cannot be disabled.

We also use PostHog, a product analytics service hosted in the European Union, to understand how visitors use our website and improve our service; the data it collects stays within the EU. Analytics cookies are set only after you accept them in the cookie banner. With your consent, PostHog uses cookies to recognize you across visits, may record how you interact with pages (session recordings), and links this activity to your account when you sign in.

If you decline (or have not yet answered the banner), we still measure aggregate site usage without cookies: nothing is stored on your device, and visits are counted using a pseudonymous identifier derived from your IP address and browser that changes daily and cannot be linked to you across days. This anonymous measurement is based on our legitimate interest in understanding overall site usage. You can change your consent choice at any time via the cookie settings.

We do not use marketing or advertising cookies.

7. Third-Party Services

We employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our service and provide the service on our behalf. These third parties include:

• Google Authentication: For secure user authentication
• Supabase: For database and authentication services
• PostHog (EU): For product analytics and application error reports, hosted in the European Union

These third parties have access to your personal data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

8. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When we no longer need your personal data, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
