Privacy Policy
Michelman Japan LLC (“Michelman Japan”) is committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of personal information (“Personal Information”) that you choose to provide to us. While it is impossible to guarantee that your Personal Information is or will be completely safe from unauthorized access or use, the following policy (the “Privacy Policy”) is intended to inform you of the steps we take to protect the information you provide to us. We recommend that you carefully review this Privacy Policy before providing us with your Personal Information.
PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Due to the limited information provided by users to Michelman Japan, information you choose to provide to us over the internet is not encrypted. No data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be secure and data transmission is at your own risk. Further, Michelman Japan cannot guarantee against, and will not be liable for, disclosure due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.
COLLECTION, USE, AND TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
In general, you can visit www.michelman.co.jp without providing any Personal Information. Michelman Japan may collect Personal Information provided by you through our website to facilitate the delivery of services or the fulfillment of an order, to provide you information and samples you request, to give you a customized interactive experience, and to help us develop and notify you about new products and services that meet your needs. The information we request may include Personal Information such as your name, billing and shipping address, telephone number or e-mail address. It is solely your choice whether or not you provide this Personal Information. However, should you choose not to provide the information, we may be unable to process an order, fulfill a service, or display certain content on our website.
Because Michelman Japan considers the Personal Information you provide to us online to be confidential, our policy is to only disclose Personal Information to third parties when: required or permitted by law; the release is pertinent to judicial or government investigations or proceedings; we have asked for and obtained your consent; or we use third parties as subcontracting companies within the scope necessary for the achievement of the purpose of utilization of Personal Information (including but not limited to the fulfillment of orders, management of websites, maintenance of mailing lists, and others). These subcontracting companies receiving your Personal Information may be located in a foreign country, such as the United States. Michelman Japan will take commercially reasonable measures to require these subcontracting companies to protect this Personal Information to the same standard Michelman Japan does and to not use the Personal Information for any other purpose than to conduct the designated service. Michelman Japan may also disclose Personal Information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to avoid violation of, or interference with, the terms of use of this website or our services, or with our proprietary rights, or the rights of third parties. Any such transfer of your Personal Information referenced herein will be conducted in accordance with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information.
Michelman Japan will not sell your Personal Information to third parties. However, if a Michelman Japan brand, or some or all of its business or assets, is sold to another company, Personal Information provided to that brand or business may be transferred to the purchaser.
