Welcome! Soca in Japan, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (“Soca in Japan”, “we”, “us” and “our”) provides the website at www.socainjapan.com (the “Site”) and underlying services (collectively, the “Service”). Each person who uses the Service is referred to as a “user” or “you” or “your”. If you register with us, we will refer to you as a “registered user”.

 

This document is our statement of our privacy practices (“Privacy Policy”). Among other things, it explains how we and some of the companies we work with collect, use, share and protect personally-identifiable information (“Personal Information”) in relation to our Service, and your choices about the collection and use of your Personal Information.

 

By using our Service you understand and agree that we are providing an online commerce platform for you to review and purchase certain products (“Products”) offered through the Service.

 

When using our Service you consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information, including Personal Information, as described in this Privacy Policy.

 

  1.                    Information We Collect

 

Information you provide us directly

 

  •        Registration information: When you create or reconfigure an account, you provide some Personal Information, such as your name, phone number, mailing address, password and email address. We will not share your Personal Information.  In order to register, you may need to set up a new account.  

 

  •        Communications between you and Soca in Japan: We may send you Service-related emails (e.g., account verification, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices), and we may collect and store these communications. Note that you may not opt out of Service-related e-mails from us.

 

Information we gather from your use of our Service

 

  •        Automatically Collected Information:  We also collect information that does not personally identify you, including, among other things, data that we gather and store about your visit to and use of the Site, such as your IP address and the location of your IP server, device IDs, device type, wi-fi connection information, general and precise geo-location data, product search history, type of browser and operating system used, date and time you access the services, pages you visit, and, if you came to the Site from another website, the address of that website. The collection of such information is more fully described below.

 

  •        Analytics: We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends and other Non-Personal Information for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your device or our Service, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assists us in improving the Service. We collect and combine this analytics information with analytics information from other users so that it cannot be used to identify any particular individual user.

 

  •        Metadata: Metadata is usually technical data that is associated with other data, including Content. For example, metadata can describe how, when and by whom a piece of Content was collected and how that Content is formatted.

 

  •        Links: Soca in Japan may keep track of how you interact with links across our Service, including our email notifications and third-party services by redirecting clicks or through other means. We do this to help improve our Service, to provide more relevant data, and to be able to share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a particular link was clicked on.

 

  •        Mobile Device Identifiers: When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to access our Service, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, or remotely store one or more "device identifiers." Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by Soca in Japan. A device identifier may deliver information to us or to a third-party partner about how you browse and use the Service and may help us or others provide reports or personalized content and ads. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

 

  •        Log Data: Our servers automatically record information ("Log Data") created by your use of the Service. Log Data may include information such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, location, your mobile carrier, device and application IDs, search terms, and cookie information. We receive Log Data when you interact with our Service, for example, when you visit our website, sign into our Service or interact with our email notifications. Soca in Japan uses Log Data to provide our Service and to measure, customize, and improve the Service.

We will not provide any personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address) to advertisers.

  •        Change of Control: If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of Soca in Japan or our assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), your Personal Information such as name and email address and any other information collected through the Service may be among the items sold or transferred.

Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer.
