There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by Kao Spa. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Kao Spa for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the Kao Spa website.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Kao Spa public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Kao Spa does not read any of your private online communications.
Kao Spa encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from Kao Spa so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. Kao Spa is not responsible for privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the Kao Spa and Kao Spa family of websites.
USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Kao Spa collects and uses your personal information to operate the website and deliver the services you have requested. Kao Spa also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Kao Spa and its affiliates. We may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
Kao Spa does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, we may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you emails or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Kao Spa, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
Kao Spa does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
Kao Spa keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within Kao Spa, to determine what Kao Spa services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Kao Spa to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
Kao Spa websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with the legal process served on Kao Spa or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Kao Spa; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Kao Spa or the public.
USE OF COOKIES
Kao Spa’s website uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Kao Spa pages, or register with Kao Spa site or services, a cookie helps to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Kao Spa website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Kao Spa services or websites you visit.
SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Kao Spa secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Kao Spa secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT
Kao Spa will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Kao Spa encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
