Because BeyondCool Japan ships products internationally from Japan, we may need to share relevant personal information with shipping carriers, logistics providers, customs brokers, and customs authorities.

Such information may include your name, shipping address, contact details, order information, product descriptions, declared values, and other information required for lawful international shipment and customs clearance.

This information may be processed in Japan, the destination country or region, and other countries involved in international transportation or customs procedures.

We use and disclose such information only where there is an appropriate legal basis, including fulfillment of your order and compliance with applicable legal obligations.

When you request a return, refund, exchange, or exercise a statutory right of withdrawal, we may collect and process personal information necessary to handle your request.

This may include your name, contact details, order number, purchased products, return information, shipment tracking information, and communications relating to your request.

Where we use a third-party return or withdrawal management service, including an electronic withdrawal form, relevant information may be processed by that service to receive, manage, and document your request.
