PRIVACY POLICY

About this version of the site

The existing Azabu Foods Privacy Policy is reproduced below. This site currently has no analytics or advertising trackers. Essential local storage remembers your cookie choice. Optional personalization storage remembers your display preferences only if you allow it. Fonts and images are hosted with the site. Japan pre-order requests are processed through Tally. We collect your name, email, delivery phone and address, quantities, and any order notes to respond to and fulfil your request. Submissions are stored in Tally and a private Google Sheet, and an order notification is emailed to our team through Google Workspace. No payment details are collected by this form. Pre-ordering does not subscribe you to marketing emails. Contact [email protected] to ask about your information. Waitlist submissions go to Klaviyo when you submit the form; the form displays its response on this site. If signup fails, you can contact [email protected]. Hosting may separately use essential security functions.
