Privacy, cookies and terms.

Kizuna PMI Limited is a company registered in England and Wales, company number 17424892. Its registered office is 3.49 Dunn & Co, Canterbury Court, 1-3 Brixton Road, London SW9 6DE. Correspondence should go to C/o Dunn and Co, Golden Cross House, 8 Duncannon Street, London WC2N 4JF. In this notice, we and us mean Kizuna PMI Limited.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, Kizuna PMI Limited is the controller of any personal data you provide through this site.

If you have a question about anything on this page, or wish to exercise any of the rights described below, use the enquiry form, or write to us by post at the correspondence address above. We answer everything ourselves.

If you do not use the enquiry form, this site collects no personal data about you at all. There is no analytics, no tracking, no advertising technology, and no third-party service receives anything about your visit.

If you use the enquiry form, we collect what you type into it: your name, and where you choose to give them, your company, your position, your email address, your telephone number, your country, your preferred method of contact, and whatever you write in the message field.

Our hosting provider, Vercel, keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses, for a short period as a routine security and reliability measure. Our lawful basis for that is our legitimate interest in keeping the site running and defending it against attack. We do not use those logs to identify visitors, we do not combine them with anything else, and we keep no copy of our own.

We use what you send solely to reply to your enquiry and, if a conversation follows, to conduct it. We do not use it for marketing, we do not build a profile from it, and we do not sell, rent or share it with anyone for their own purposes.

Our lawful basis is legitimate interests. When you send us an enquiry we have a legitimate interest in reading it and replying, and you have the same interest in getting an answer. We have weighed that against your privacy and are satisfied it is fair: you chose to write to us, we use what you send only to answer you, and we do nothing else with it. If a conversation moves towards an engagement, we also rely on the need to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

You do not have to give us any of this. No law and no contract requires it. We ask for your name, your email address and a description of the issue because without them we cannot reply sensibly. Everything else is optional.

We do not make any decision about you by automated means, and we do not profile you.

Nothing on this site requires you to provide special category data, and we ask that you do not include any in the message field.

Enquiries are read by Paul Dolan. Nobody else at Kizuna PMI Limited receives them, because there is nobody else.

Three service providers process the data on our behalf and only on our instructions: Vercel Inc., which hosts this website; Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc.), which delivers the enquiry from the site to our mailbox; and Microsoft Corporation, which provides the mailbox. Each is engaged under written terms that require them to keep the data confidential and to process it only as we direct.

We may disclose information where we are required to by law, by a court, or by a regulator. We will not do so otherwise.

Two of our providers are United States companies: Vercel Inc., which hosts this site, and Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc.), which delivers your enquiry to our mailbox. Both are certified under the UK Extension to the EU to US Data Privacy Framework, which the UK government has recognised as giving personal data an adequate level of protection. No further safeguard is needed for those transfers.

Resend routes our mail through servers in Tokyo. That is where the message is handled in transit. The company receiving it is the United States company named above, and the protection just described is what applies.

Our mailbox is provided by Microsoft on our own domain.

If we ever use a provider not covered by those arrangements, we will use the Information Commissioner's International Data Transfer Agreement, or the Addendum to the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. You may ask us which safeguard applies to a particular transfer and we will tell you.

If your enquiry does not lead to a conversation, we delete it within twelve months.

If it does, we keep the correspondence while we are working together and for six years after the last piece of work, because that is broadly the period in which a claim arising from it could be brought, and the period for which we may need the record for tax and accounting purposes.

We review the mailbox against these periods once a year. You can ask us to delete something sooner and we will, unless we are required to keep it.

Because we hold your enquiry on the basis of legitimate interests, you have the right to object to our holding it at any time. If you do, we will delete it unless we are required to keep it, or unless we have compelling grounds that override your objection, which for an enquiry of this kind is unlikely.

Tell us through the enquiry form, or by post. You do not have to give a reason.

You can ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You can ask us to correct it if it is wrong, to delete it, or to restrict how we use it. Where we hold your data because you are entering into an engagement with us, you may also ask us to send it to you or to someone else in a portable form.

We will respond within one month. If a request is unusually complex we may take up to two further months, and we will tell you if so. There is no charge unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK supervisory authority, at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. We would rather you raised it with us first so that we can put it right.

Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information also applies to what we do with your information, because we offer our services to companies in Japan. Your rights under that Act, to be told how your information is used, to ask for a copy, to have it corrected, and to ask us to stop using it or to delete it, sit alongside the rights set out above.

Tell us through the enquiry form, or by post, and we will deal with your request under whichever law applies. You may also complain to the Personal Information Protection Commission at ppc.go.jp.

This site sets no cookies. It stores nothing in your browser's local or session storage. It loads no fonts, scripts, images or anything else from a third-party server: everything it uses is served from this domain.

That is why you have not been asked to consent to anything. There is nothing to consent to.

This site describes what Kizuna PMI Limited does. It is not advice, and it must not be relied on as advice.

Nothing here is legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, investment or financial advice, and Kizuna PMI Limited is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. What is written here is general. It takes no account of your circumstances, your transaction or your jurisdiction, and it may well not be right for you. Before you act, take advice from someone who knows your facts.

Reading this site, sending us an enquiry, or receiving a reply, does not make us your adviser and creates no duty of care on our part. We become your adviser only when we have both signed a written engagement letter, and that letter, not this page, governs the work.

We take care over what we publish here but we do not warrant that it is complete, accurate or current, and we may change it at any time without notice. We do not guarantee that the site will always be available or free from error.

The words, photographs, drawings and design of this site belong to Kizuna PMI Limited, or are used with the owner's permission.

絆 is an ordinary Japanese character and nobody owns it. What is ours is the particular drawing of it that we use as our mark, together with the name Kizuna PMI and the goodwill in both. The Japanese text on this site is set in Zen Old Mincho by Yoshimichi Ohira, used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

You are welcome to read this site, print it, and quote short passages with attribution. Please do not republish it, sell it, or present it as your own work without asking us first.

Nothing here limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else the law does not permit us to limit or exclude.

Subject to that, and because we provide this site free of charge and for information only, we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of anticipated savings, loss or corruption of data, or for any indirect or consequential loss, however it arises.

Subject to the same, our total liability to you for anything else arising out of your use of this site, in contract, in tort including negligence, for breach of statutory duty or otherwise, is limited to one hundred pounds.

If you are reading this site as a consumer rather than for the purposes of a business, nothing here affects your statutory rights.

These terms, and any dispute about them or about your use of this site, are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales are where any such dispute should be brought, though this does not deprive you of any protection you have under the law of the country where you live.

We will update this page when what it describes changes. It was last reviewed in September 2026.
