PRIVACY POLICY STATEMENT

 

At New York Nihonto Owners Club, we care deeply about privacy. We believe in transparency, and we’re committed to being upfront about our privacy practices, including how we treat your personal information. This policy explains our privacy practices for nihontoownersclub.com (the “Site”), and services provided by New York Nihonto Owners Club, LLC. 

 

This policy is a part of our Terms of Use. By visiting the Site, you consent to our collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this policy. This includes any information you choose to provide that is deemed sensitive under applicable law. This policy only applies to the Site and services.

By registering or purchasing on the Site, you authorize New York Nihonto Owners Club to use your information in the United States and Japan where New York Nihonto Owners Club operates.  The Site collects personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, billing and shipping, bank account, occupation and current interests. We will not do so unless you agree to provide them.

 

We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and processing credit card payments. These service providers only have access to the information necessary to facilitate the service they provide on behalf of New York Nihonto Owners Club; they're not authorized to use your personal information for any other purposes.

 

We may be legally obligated to disclose information to the government or other third parties under certain circumstances, such as illegal activity on our Site or in the interest of protecting the safety of our employees or customers. New York Nihonto Owners Club reserves the right to disclose personal information to its service providers (as described above), law enforcement, or in response to a formal request in a civil action, court order, subpoena or judicial proceeding as New York Nihonto Owners Club, in our sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary and appropriate.

 

New York Nihonto Owners Club will not sell or disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as specified in our Privacy Policy.

 

 

USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

 

 You may connect to New York Nihonto Owners Club with an external application, in which case the Site may receive information from that other service, as explained below.

 

 We use technologies such as cookies, clear gifs, log files, and flash cookies for several purposes, including to help understand how you interact with the Site and services, in order to provide a better online shopping experience. The information we collect include your IP address or unique device identifier, and cookies and data from the pages you visit. 

 

We may from time to time engage third parties to track and analyze non-personally identifiable usage and volume statistical information from visitors to the Site. We use this information to administer and improve the quality of our Site. Such third parties may use cookies to track visitor behavior. These cookies are not to any personal information nor will they be associated with any individual user or visitor to the Site.

 

Third-party plug-ins also may collect information about your use of the Site. For example, when you load a page on New York Nihonto Owners Club that has a social plug-in from a third-party site or service, such as a “Like” or “Send” button, you are also loading content from that third-party site. That site may request cookies directly from your browser. These interactions are subject to the privacy policy of the third-party site. In addition, certain cookies and other tracking mechanisms on our site are used by third parties for targeted online marketing and other purposes. These technologies allow a partner to recognize your computer or mobile device each time you visit the Site, but do not allow access to personal information from New York Nihonto Owners Club. New York Nihonto Owners Club does not have access or control over these third-party technologies, and they are not covered by our Privacy Policy. If you prefer to prevent third parties from setting and accessing cookies on your computer, you may set your browser to block cookies. You may also opt out of the use of cookies by Google Analytics.

New York Nihonto Owners Club is both an online shop and a community (the Club). We offer product previews and exhibitions for members to gather and communicate.  We welcome you to join our communications via the third party applications such as Facebook.  Please use common sense and good judgment when posting in these community spaces or sharing your personal information with others on the Club. Be aware that any personal information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by others, or could be used to send you unsolicited messages.

You are responsible for the personal information you choose to post in community spaces on the Club.

 

 

SECURITY

 

The security of your personal information is important to us. Your “My Account” information is protected by a password. It is important that you protect against unauthorized access to your account and information by choosing your password carefully, and keeping your password and computer secure, such as by signing out after using our services.

 

New York Nihonto Owners Club encrypts sensitive information (such as credit card numbers) using secure socket layer technology (SSL). New York Nihonto Owners Club follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once New York Nihonto Owners Club receives it. Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
