RION CO., LTD. Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how RION CO., LTD. (“RION”) collects information from users of this site, how RION uses that information, and what choices users have on the collection, correction and use of such information. When this Privacy Policy refers to RION, we, or us, it includes RION and its affiliates. By visiting <www.rion.co.jp>, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Personal Information

You can visit and enjoy our site without disclosing any personal information about yourself. However, we may offer some special services, and for these services to work properly we will need you to share with us certain personal information about yourself. The personal information we may collect may include your name, telephone number, postal address, e-mail address or other personally identifiable information.
Our policy is to maintain the privacy of personal information and not to use or disclose it except as provided in this Privacy Policy.
Please contact RION for further information about this Privacy Policy or if you do not consent to the use of your personal information as stated herein. (See “How To Contact Us”).
While our policy is not to disclose personal information to outside parties, we may disclose such information if we have your permission beforehand or if there are special circumstances, such as when we believe that disclosure is required by law (See “Special Circumstances”). We also may disclose personal information to our distributors, and they may send you information that may be of interest to you, as described in the preceding paragraph.
RION manages to protect the security of personal information strictly and will not provide personal information to third parties without your permission unless it is specifically stated otherwise.
RION may use third party contractors to help our business and this site on our behalf and may share your personal information with these contractors for the limited purpose specified in this Privacy Policy. In this case, the personal information provided by you is safely kept and handled under strict management.

Voluntary Surveys

We may periodically conduct user surveys. We encourage our users to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of products and services we offer and how we provide them. The personal information you provide in response to a voluntary survey will remain confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party that we hire. Participation in any of our user surveys is voluntary.
We take the information we receive from individuals responding to user surveys and aggregate (combine) it with the responses of other RION customers to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions. We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our products and services, and to develop new products and services. This aggregated, anonymous information may be shared with third parties.

Links

Our site may contain links to other sites, including distributor sites. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites. We encourage you to be aware of this when your leave our site and to read the privacy policies of every site that collects personally identifiable information from you. This Privacy Policy applies only to this site.

Special Circumstances

It is our policy not to use or share personal information about use in ways unrelated to the ones described above, without providing users an opportunity to opt out or otherwise decline such unrelated uses. We may disclose such personal information, however, if we believe, in our sole discretion, that it is reasonable to do so under the circumstances. Our reasons for disclosure of personal information may include, for example, to satisfy our obligations under applicable laws or regulations; to respond to governmental or legal requests for information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Use or other user policies; or otherwise to protect RION and its customers.

Data Security

This site has electronic security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
