Data Sovereignty

Privacy & Data Governance Protocol

At Sakura Strategic Lab, our market intelligence **strategy** relies on the highest standards of integrity. This document outlines how we protect and process the personal information of our global partners.

Effective: March 17, 2026
GDPR & APPI Compliant

1. Data Acquisition

We process information through three primary channels. First, **Voluntary Submissions**: including your name, professional email address, and organizational details provided via our contact interface. Second, **Engagement Metadata**: technical identifiers such as IP addresses and browser configurations used to optimize our delivery of market insights.

Third, **Operational Intelligence**: data processed during the execution of a research mandate. This is strictly governed by the specific non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) signed at the project commencement.

3. Global Transfer Posture

As a consultancy focused on global expansion, your data may be processed across international borders. We ensure all regional transfers comply with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) in Japan and, where applicable, the GDPR for our European expansion partners. We utilize standard contractual clauses and rigorous vetting for any sub-processors.

Retention & Purge Protocols

Data storage is not indefinite. We maintain records only for the duration required to satisfy the **strategy** deliverables or as required by financial auditing standards. Upon the conclusion of our lifecycle window, data is cryptographically erased from our primary and backup repositories.
