This Privacy Policy outlines the type of information that is collected on our kawaii-tokyo.jp website (The Site), and how we use and protect it. This Policy also tells you what to do if you do not want your personal information collected when you visit the Site, and how you can change information you have already provided to us.

1. The Personal Information We Collect

We do not collect your personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it to us. For example, if you decide to join our mailing list or complete the online questionnaire, you may be asked to provide certain personal information such as your contact information (full name, mailing address, email address, telephone number and other), date of birth, occupation, area of interest (for cosmetic, media, lifestyle), and the brands and products you care to use. Or you may also be asked to provide such information when you choose to communicate with us through email, via the enquiry form of the Site, by telephone, in writing or through other means.

We may use the personally identifiable information collected through the Site primarily for such purposes as: helping to establish and verify the identity of users; opening, maintaining, administering and servicing users/memberships; providing services and support to users; improving the website; providing users with product updates, promotional notices and offers, and other information; responding to your questions, enquiries, comments and suggestions; maintaining the security and integrity of our systems.

To protect your personal information, members who create a membership ID at the Site must also enter a nickname (as unique login ID)/email address and password. If you would prefer that we not collect any personally identifiable information from you, please do not provide us with any such personal information. When you submit your personally identifiable information on the Site, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure (only to the certified third parties) of your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

2. Cookies and Other Anonymous Information

None of such information is personally identifiable.

The server of the Site, or the servers of companies that are used to operate the Site, may place a Cookie on your computer in order to allow you to use the website and to personalize your experience and use of the Site.

3. Usage of Collected Information

We may use the information you provide in aggregate (non-personally identifiable) form for internal business purposes, such as generating statistics and developing marketing plans.

4. Opt In, Opt Out

If you wish to become a subscriber/member etc., we ask for contact information such as name, street address and Email address to provide these communications. Out of respect for your privacy we provide a way to opt-out of these communications. On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement.

Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, though you can deactivate your member account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature. Subscribers/members will receive information on products, services, special offers and newsletters. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communications. If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code, phone, Email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate that user's personally identifiable information provided to us. This can be done by using the unsubscribe feature in our communication.
