Privacy policy

Information we collect

When you sign in with Google, Kawakoi receives your Google account identifier, name, email address and basic profile information. Supabase, our authentication provider, may retain your Google profile picture with your account. We do not request access to your Gmail messages, contacts or Google Drive files.

When you verify WhatsApp, we process the phone number you enter, a one-time verification code, your verification status and request records. We also keep account creation dates, access status and any email or phone blocks needed to manage account access and prevent abuse.

We keep the items you save as favourites, your auction access requests, accepted bids and auction results. Public bid history uses an anonymous alias for each auction fish. Your saved list is private; a WhatsApp enquiry shares only the items you choose.

Auction payment and pickup or shipping arrangements take place directly with our shop through WhatsApp. The website does not collect payment receipts, bank details or delivery addresses. We keep the original auction result and any later inventory update.

How we use and share information

We use this information to sign you in, maintain your account, verify your phone number, help prevent duplicate phone registrations and abuse, and respond to account support requests. Your email address and phone number are not displayed on the public website. Within our customer management area, only owners can view and manage customer details.

Google provides sign-in. Supabase processes authentication and stores account and verification records. Vercel hosts the website and processes requests needed to operate it. OtpBird receives your phone number and one-time code to deliver the verification message through WhatsApp. These providers process information needed to provide their services and may process it outside your country.

We use session cookies to keep you signed in. Our hosting and authentication providers may process technical request information for service operation and security. We do not sell your Google account information or use it for advertising.

Retention and your choices

We keep information only while needed to operate your account, handle support, protect the service or meet legal obligations. Some security or necessary records may need to be retained after an account deletion request. You can browse the public collection without creating an account.

To request access, correction or deletion of your information, contact Kawa Koi Centre at clementkcl@elitempsb.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our data practices change. If we plan to use Google account information for a new purpose, we will explain the change and request any required consent before doing so.
