1. Introduction
NHK Laboratories, Inc. (“NHK” or “we” or “our” or “us”) is sensitive to the privacy of people (“you” or “your”) who visit our website (www.nhklabs.com)(“Site”). This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect on our website and how that information is used.
2. Information Collection
We collect information from users at several different points on our website. Generally, you can visit our website without telling us who you are or without revealing any personal information about yourself. However, we use Google Analytics to collect information about how you use our website. Google Analytics collects your IP address and information about your operating system and web browser that you used to visit our website. We use Google Analytics to determine how long you use the website and which specific parts of it you actually visit. However, your identity remains anonymous to us. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our website.
Sometimes, we will ask you to voluntarily provide information about yourself. For instance, we may ask you to (1) fill out online or PDF forms, (2) become a registered user of the Site, sign-up for a mailing list, exchange correspondence with you via email, text message, or First Class Mail, (3) complete online and/or email surveys that we may use for research, marketing, distribution, and/or sale of our goods and/or services, and/or (4) any other such activities as we deem necessary. Occasionally, we may use this voluntarily furnished information to notify you about important changes to the Site. Although we do not collect any personally identifiable financial or health-related information, you may be asked to provide information (e.g., your name, e-mail address, postal address and telephone number). If you do not provide the requested information, you may not be able to complete the applicable transaction.
3. Information Use
We are the owner of the information collected on our website. We will not sell, share, trade, or rent this information to third parties in ways that differ from what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy. For example, we retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as long as required by applicable law. If you have an active account with us, we will keep your information for as long as your account remains active. If you close your account with us, we will keep your information for four (4) years after account closure.
If you provide us with your email or postal address, or have done so in the past, we may use your email or postal address to send you information about our products, services, promotions, and/or events. We may also use information that you have given to us to measure interest in our various products and/or services, and/or to inform you about new products and/or services. We will include an opt-out link in such emails that we send you. To manually unsubscribe from our mailing lists, please contact us pursuant to section 13.
a. Information Sharing
We may disclose your information third parties when legally required to do so or when we believe, in good faith, that the law requires such a disclosure. For example, we will share such information if we have reason to believe that the information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be either causing injury to or interference with our rights and/or property and/or our customers’ and/or affiliates rights and/or property. We also reserve the right to disclose your information to respond to duly authorized information requests of government authorities and/or when required by law.
b. International Transfer
We may transfer your personal information to countries outside of your country of residence. For example, we use third-party data centers to host our website. We also use Google Analytics. The data centers that we use and Google may transfer your data internationally as part of their ordinary courses of business. We rely on those third parties to ensure adequate protection of your information in those international jurisdictions. We do not control those third parties’ use of your information in those international jurisdictions. Accordingly, by using our website, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for how these third parties use your information in international jurisdictions. You may request information about those third parties’ safeguards in international jurisdictions by contacting us pursuant to section 13.
