For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name and e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data.
Personal Information We Collect
When you interact with us, we collect Personal Information that you voluntarily provide. For example, when you sign up for our newsletter or other e-mail lists or otherwise use certain aspects of our Services, we may ask you to provide information such as your name and e-mail address. In addition to collecting information on our Site, we may collect information from you when you communicate with us via e-mail. You can choose not to provide any information that is requested of you by us. However, this may limit your ability to use the Services.
Non-Personal Information
We and/or our third-party service providers may also collect information in a form that does not personally identify you (“Non-Personal Information”). Non-Personal Information can include certain Personal Information that has been de-identified; that is, information that has been rendered anonymous. We and/or our third-party service providers obtain Non-Personal Information about you from information that you provide us, either separately or together with your Personal Information. We also use cookies and other technologies to passively collect Non-Personal Information as described below.
In this Privacy Policy, we refer to all information collected from or about you, including Personal Information and Non-Personal Information, as “Your Information.”
Non-Personal Information Automatically Collected
We and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies, now and hereafter devised, that automatically record certain usage information. When accessing our Site, this Site and any of our service providers may log your IP address, access URL, time of access, geographic location, browser type, and referral URL in order to provide us with internal information regarding Site traffic statistics. This information may also be used to identify users who are using our Site for spam or other activity that is deemed in conflict with our Terms of Use. Otherwise, this information is used in the aggregate, and is never linked back to any Personal Information.
Cookies and Other Technologies We Use
This Site and our service providers may use cookies (both session cookies and persistent cookies) to analyze trends, administer our Site, track your movements around our Site, better understand how you interact with our Site, determine interest in particular content and monitor aggregate usage by visitors and online traffic routing. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual and aggregated basis. You may be able to instruct your browser, by changing its option, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the online services you visit. You may also remove persistent cookies by following your web browser’s help file directions. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of our Site or all functionality of our Site.
This Site and our service providers may also use “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” or similar means in connection with our Site and HTML-formatted e-mail messages to, among other things, track the actions of users, to determine the success of marketing campaigns and to compile aggregate statistics about Site usage and response rates.
Our Use of Your Information
We mainly use Your Information, either alone or in combination with other information, so that we can provide, enhance and personalize our Services and related content.
Your Information is used and disclosed for, but is not limited to, the following purposes:
to provide you with the best user experience possible;
to respond to your questions and comments;
to communicate with you regarding updates to our Services;
to send you our newsletter or other subscriptions;
to help us develop, customize, deliver, support and improve our Services and content;
to protect the rights or property of Hayata Takeshita or our users, and prevent fraud and other prohibited or illegal activities;

We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Personal Information and aggregate it with information collected from other users or sources to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality of our Services, and to analyze and understand how our Services are used. We may also use the combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically. After you terminate your use of the Services, we may continue to use your Non-Personal Information for statistical purposes or other purposes as we see fit. Please note that we cannot guarantee that Non-Personal Information will not identify you as we cannot guarantee that others with access to Non-Personal Information may not have knowledge sufficient to identify you.
Public Forums
Our Site has features that enable users to post content publicly (including, without limitation, user comments). The protections described in this Privacy Policy do not apply when you provide information (including Personal Information about you or any person) in connection with your use of these public forums. Any information you share in a public forum is public information and may be seen or collected by other persons, including third parties that do not adhere to the standards set forth in this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for events arising from the distribution of any information you choose to publicly post or share through our Site.

Our Service Providers and Other Third Parties
To operate the Services, we may share Your Information with our agents, representatives and contractors so they can provide us with support services and other features. We also may engage third-party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf or to assist us in analyzing how our Services are used. These third parties may have access to your Personal Information. If they do, this access is provided so that they may perform these tasks on our behalf and we ask these third parties not to otherwise use or disclose your Personal Information in ways that are prohibited by this Privacy Policy, except to the extent required by law. However, Hayata Takeshita is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices of such third parties.

Data Transfer
Our Site processes Personal Information in the United States of America. You should be aware that the United States and other countries have not harmonized their privacy regulations. Because we are located in the United States, we have written our Privacy Policy to satisfy United States regulations.

Business Transfers
Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, we may sell, transfer or otherwise disclose some or all of our assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy. It’s our practice to seek appropriate protection for Your Information in those types of transactions.
