Privacy Policy

At Cheap Nippon Knife Store, we approach your privacy with the same precision and care that our master craftsmen apply to forging blades. This policy outlines how we collect, protect, and use your information when you engage with our premium cutlery offerings.

1. Information We Collect

We gather only what’s essential to serve our discerning clientele of collectors and outdoor enthusiasts:

• Identity Data: Name, shipping/billing address, contact details
• Transaction Data: Payment information (processed securely by our partners), purchase history
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information
• Usage Data: How you interact with our site (pages viewed, items browsed)
• Communication Data: Emails, customer service inquiries about our products

2. How We Use Your Information

Like a well-balanced knife, we use your data with precision and purpose:

• Process orders for your gentleman’s knives or survival tools
• Provide customer support worthy of our artisan standards
• Improve our website’s performance and product offerings
• Send service communications (order confirmations, shipping updates)
• Prevent fraud with the same vigilance we apply to blade quality control
• With consent, share product updates or special offers for Japanese pocket knives

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We treat your data as carefully as a master sharpens a blade – sharing only when necessary:

• Payment Processors: Secure transaction partners (Visa, MasterCard, PayPal)
• Shipping Providers: Only what’s needed to deliver your premium knives
• Legal Compliance: When required by UK or international law
• Business Transfers: In case of company sale or restructuring

We never sell your data to third-party marketers.

4. Data Security

Your security is forged with the same integrity as our blades:

• Military-grade encryption for all transactions
• PCI-DSS compliant payment processing
• Regular security audits by independent experts
• Limited employee access to sensitive data
• Secure servers with firewall protection

You maintain control, just as with a well-balanced knife:

• Access: Request copies of your personal data
• Correction: Update inaccurate information
• Erasure: Request deletion of your data (where applicable)
• Restriction: Limit how we use your data
• Objection: Opt-out of marketing communications
• Portability: Request transfer of your data

6. Cookies & Tracking

Our website uses essential and functional cookies:

• Session Cookies: For shopping cart functionality
• Preference Cookies: Remember your language/currency

You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

7. International Transfers

8. Policy Updates

We may occasionally update this policy – significant changes will be communicated to customers. The latest version will always be available on our website.
