Cookie policy

We'll only ever use cookies and other similar technologies for the purposes set out in this policy and will never use them to inflate or alter the prices.

We use cookies and similar technologies when you use our services. These cookies and similar technologies are controlled either by us directly.

We use cookies when they are essential to deliver our services, to optimise and personalise the delivery of our services, to analyse and better understand the services and to deliver ads.

When you first access our services, we ask you to confirm if you're ok with us using Cookies in line with this policy. If you don't agree to our use of these technologies, or you change your mind at a later date, you can either withdraw your consent using the methods set out below or, alternatively, stop using our services.

Why and how do we use your personal data?

We only use your information where you've given us your consent, where it's necessary to deliver the services you've requested, where it’s necessary to exercise or comply with legal rights or obligations, or for normal business purposes of the kind set out in this policy.

What personal data do we collect?

Everyone who uses our services will have bits and pieces of information about them collected, stored and processed. However, we don't collect more information than we need.

We collect information in two ways:

You give it to us voluntarily

Information you choose to give us might include personal data needed for you to order our goods delivery. This ranges from the dates and address of delivery. It can also include content like the reviews or photographs you upload to our services. Most importantly, it's always up to you whether or not you choose to give us this kind of information.

We generate or collect it automatically

We generate or collect some information from your computer or device automatically as you use our services. This includes stuff like your IP address, information about the device and browser you are using to access our services, the website URL you visited us from and the third party sites you visit when you click on links to exit the Taiko Center site. It also includes details of the order you have made via Taiko center. We may also know your location from your mobile or your IP address. This helps us to improve your experience and make sure you receive the content that's most relevant to you.

How long do we store your personal data?

We keep your personal data only for as long as we need to. This depends on why it was collected, or if we have a continuing legal basis to do so (such as to fulfill a contract between us, perform a service you requested or for our legitimate interests). Rest assured, if we no longer have a reason or legal requirement to process your personal data, we will delete it or store it in a way so that it no longer identifies you.

We have different retention policies for different types of personal data, taking into account:

• The purpose for collecting the personal data;
• How long it will take to fulfill that purpose; and
• Any specific reason or overriding legal obligation to retain the personal data for a specific amount of time.

Also, if you have an account with us, we will keep personal data such as your email address, name and other details so you can log in and access our services for as long as you have an account. We may keep other information indefinitely - such as site activity linked to an IP address - which we use to help us understand our customers, improve our products and services and protect our business interests.

No matter how long the retention period, you can ask us to delete your personal data.

When is your information shared with or collected by third parties?

We never share your information with third parties

How do we keep your personal data secure?

Keeping your personal data secure is our highest priority. We limit access to only those Taiko Center employees who have to come into contact with your information to do their jobs and deliver our services.

Unfortunately, no website or app can guarantee complete security, but we have created an organization-wide security program designed to keep your personal data as safe as possible. It uses a range of technical, organizational and administrative security measures and best-practice techniques, depending on the type of data being processed. For example, the computer systems we use to store your data have access limitations and in-cloud based servers that use industry-standard disc encryption. We use TLS and HTTPS encryption to protect your personal data when we transfer it across the internet. We maintain a culture of privacy thorough data protection and privacy training to all Taiko Center employees. We develop our services with the goal of using the minimum amount of personal data possible, including through use of data minimization techniques like anonymization. Also, whenever we develop or update our services in ways that involve the collection or use of new forms of personal data, we conduct a privacy impact assessment to understand, and reduce, the likelihood of any unintended impact on you.

Where do we store your information?

We store the information we collect from you on secure servers in Japan, We provide the safeguards needed to protect your data.. We do this through a combination of appropriate technical, organizational and administrative security measures. For example, we will only store European users’ personal data outside the European Economic Area where a European Commission-approved method of validating the transfer has been put in place.

How is your information used for advertising?

You’ll see various adverts when you use our services and might also see adverts about Taiko Center when you’re on other platforms. These ads come from us and are personalized to make them more relevant to you. The information used to personalize ads you see may include your details of what you’ve searched for on Taiko Center or general location information, but will never include your name, contact details or other information that would enable you to be identified in the offline world. If you want to manage how your information is used for advertising purposes, you can find out more in our Cookie Policy.

Do we use cookies or similar technologies?

We use a combination of cookies and other technologies such as pixels/web beacons and tracking codes (explained below) to collect information for use in line with the purposes set out in this policy.

What are tracking codes?

Tracking codes are snippets of code placed in the page to measure things like visits and interactions. We use tracking codes to find out more about how you interact with our services, the adverts you see and more generally, how you use us.

What are your choices and rights?

In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement). Where we have asked for your consent, you may withdraw consent at any time. If you ask to withdraw your consent to Taiko Center processing your data, this will not affect any processing which has already taken place at that time.

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
