Data we collect

Contact forms may collect your name, email address, engagement interest, fiscal year-end month, and message content. Newsletter forms collect email only. Server logs may record IP address, browser type, and pages viewed for security and basic analytics if you accept optional cookies.

Purpose and legal basis

We use enquiry data to respond to estimate requests, schedule scoping calls, and maintain records related to potential or actual audit engagements. Newsletter addresses are used only to send occasional closing-season notes. Analytics cookies, when accepted, help us understand which Field Notes articles are useful.

Retention

Unsuccessful enquiries are kept up to 24 months unless you ask us to delete them sooner. Engagement-related correspondence is retained according to professional record-keeping requirements applicable to financial auditing in Japan, typically for the period required after report issuance.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you, subject to legal retention duties for audit working papers. You may also withdraw consent for optional analytics or newsletter messages at any time.

International transfers

If you write from outside Japan, your message is received and stored in Japan. Where we use email or hosting providers that process data in other countries, we select providers with appropriate contractual safeguards.
