Privacy

Nireco Corporation respects the privacy of those who visit and use our Internet site (hereafter, “site”). The types of information we acquire from our site visitors and the ways we use this information are set out in our privacy policy below.

Information use

Visitors submit information to us via the various forms and questionnaires on our site, such as their contact details (name, address, e-mail address, etc.), demographic information (age, gender, etc.) and personal profile data (favorite forms of recreation, etc.). We use this information that people send to us when they register on our site for our company’s marketing and promotional purposes. From time to time, we disclose this information to our business partners who are responsible for sales promotion.

We do not release or sell any information to a third party that could identify any individual. We only send information about our company and its activities to the address, e-mail address or via the telephone or fax number supplied to us by site visitors if we have their explicit permission to do so. If a site visitor does not wish us to e-mail them, we will immediately stop once notification to do so is received.

For information on how this works, please read the section below entitled “Selection / cancellation of services.”Visitors can request information and services from us by filling out the various forms on this site. We look after the visitor contact information sent to us via these forms, and use this contact information when we send out information about our company. If necessary, we will use this information to contact site visitors. We use this information that we have gathered to process the service requests that we receive from site visitors. We do not disclose this information to any third party who is not involved with our business.

In special cases we may disclose visitors’ information. These might be: a) when the visitor is an individual who may (intentionally or unintentionally) cause damage or disruption to the rights or assets of Nireco Corporation or any members of the Nireco Group outside Japan or other visitors, etc. to this site; b) when the visitor is an individual who is at risk of suffering damage from such acts; and c) when we have reasonable grounds to do so in the course of legal action.

Security

The security of all private information is extremely important to our company. Unfortunately, at present it is not possible to guarantee that information sent to us via the Internet is 100% safe.

For this reason, although we make efforts to safeguard the security of the visitor’s personal information, we can not secure or guarantee the security of information that visitors send to us or the information that we gather from visitors. For this reason, we ask that visitors take responsibility for the information that they send to us.

IP address use

IP addresses are numerical values that Internet service providers automatically assign to a visitor’s computer when the visitor goes surfing on the Internet. When the visitor accesses our site, our company’s server records the visitor’s IP address. We report this data to our system managers and advertisers, and we gather IP addresses for the purpose of monitoring our site.

We do not link IP addresses with information that can identify individuals. In other words, even though we keep records of visitors’ access to our site, we do not identify the visitors. In certain circumstances, in order to enforce our site use conditions and to protect our services, our site and our customers, we may receive the cooperation of the visitor’s Internet service provider and identify the site visitor on the basis of their IP address.

Links to other sites

Our company is not responsible for the contents or management policy of any website of a third party that is linked to our site. This site links to, or is linked to websites run by other companies. When visitors access these other websites we strongly recommend that they carefully read the privacy policies and management policies of these other websites.

Selection / cancellation of services

When a visitor provides us with personal information via this site, they may select whether or not they wish us to send them e-mail. In addition, a visitor can, at any time, have their name removed from our e-mail mailing list and not receive any more e-mail from us. Nireco Corporation operates several websites, and so if you want to be quickly removed from the e-mailing list, then please let us know the details of the e-mails that we are sending to you.

If you are unable to complete the instructions in the e-mails we send you that advise you how to cancel our e-mails, please e-mail a note to info-cdg@nireco.co.jp telling us that you want to be taken off the list, with a copy of the e-mail that you wish us to stop sending attached, and we will remove your details from our e-mailing list.

Confirmation of these conditions

When you use the Nireco site, you are agreeing to the terms of our privacy policy. If you do not agree to the terms of our privacy policy, please do not use our site.

If we deem it necessary, we will, from time to time, revise, alter and update our privacy policy; therefore we strongly recommend that you periodically carefully read our privacy policy. After we place our revised, altered or updated privacy policy on our site, we will deem that visitors to our site accept these revisions, alternations and updates.
