your purchase, provide service and support, and share product,

with you, to provide service and support, to update you on
services and benefits, to personalize promotional offers and
to personalize some of our websites. Occasionally we may also
use your information to contact you for market research regarding
our products or services. Sensitive Personal Information is
collected only to facilitate our financial service providers'
credit decisions and will be shared with them only with your
permission. |
|
| Credit card information and sensitive
personal data are not used for any other purpose by our financial
services providers or us and will not be kept longer than necessary
for providing the services, unless you ask us to retain your
credit card information for future purchases. Credit card numbers
are used only for processing payment and will not be used for
any other purpose. |
|
| Who else will be given your
Personal Information: |
|
| We do not sell, rent or lease any
personally identifiable information you provide to any unrelated
third party, but we may share it with related entities or with
unrelated third parties in connection with our own marketing
activities, your credit card processing, or the maintenance
and operation of our site, or as may be legally required. (Please
do not send confidential or sensitive information, to us through
this site.) |
|
| Our Security Precautions: |
|
| We are committed to protecting the
information you provide us. To prevent unauthorized access
or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the
appropriate use of the information, we have in place appropriate
physical and managerial procedures to safeguard the information
we collect. |
|
| You are advised that other websites,
which may be accessed through our site, may collect personally
identifiable information about you. This privacy statement
does not cover the information practices of those third-party
web sites linked to us. Please contact them directly for their
privacy statement. |
|
| We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such
as credit card information. SSL encryption is designed to make
the information unreadable by anyone but us. This security
measure is working when you see either the symbol of an unbroken
key or closed lock (depending on your browser) on the bottom
of your browser window. |
|
| Although we use security that we believe
to be appropriate to protect the personal identifying information
disclosed to us on this website, we do not guarantee that our
security precautions will protect against and we expressly
disclaim any liability for any loss, misuse, or alteration

of our information. |
|
| Use of Cookies: |
|
| New technologies are emerging on the
Internet that help us deliver customized visitor experiences.
We may use cookies to help us provide you with a fast, convenient
shopping experience at our online store. A "cookie" is
a data element a web site sends to your browser. It is stored
on your computer and tells a website that a previous visitor
has returned. It doesn't automatically give personal information
about you, like your e-mail address or name. If you want to
give us personal information through registration, then a cookie
will help us deliver content based on your interests and preferences.
Cookies help us monitor whether our website is functioning
properly and helps us perform site traffic analysis. |

|
| Assets of the Corporation: |

applicable laws without your consent. |
|
| Changes to Policy Statement: |
|
| If there are updates to the terms
of our Privacy Statement, we will post those changes and update
the revision date in this document, so you will always know
what information we collect online, how we use it, and what

|
| Children's Privacy (Age 12
and Under): |
|
| Zojirushi America Corporation takes
children's privacy seriously. We are committed to protecting
the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents and
guardians to take an active role in their children's online
activities and interests. We do not knowingly collect information
from children under the age of 13 and we do not target our
websites to children under 13. |
|
| We do not seek to collect Personal
Information about children through our website. We do not condition
a child's participation in an activity on the disclosure of
more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary to participate
in the activity. |
|
| If we become aware that a person submitting
Personal Information to us through any part of our website
is a child, we delete the information as soon as we discover
it and do not use it for any purpose, nor do we disclose it
to third parties. |
|
| Since we do not seek to collect any
Personal Information about children, and we delete any information
collected inadvertently as soon as we discover that a child
has submitted it, we typically retain no information about
children that could be reviewed or deleted. If a parent requests
review or deletion of information about their child before
we have discovered and deleted the information, then we will
of course honor that request. |
