Quilt Party Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Company") strictly observe legal as well as internal company regulatory requirements governing the use of personal data collected in the course of business operations. This information is handled and stored appropriately, and our aim is to provide a data protection service that will reassure all customers and business partners as well as our own staff, board members and any other stakeholders. This data protection policy (hereinafter referred to as "privacy policy") is detailed here below.
Application of our privacy policy
Our privacy policy applies to any instances when our customers are using our services. Any personal data collected from our customers whilst providing our services is managed in strict accordance with our privacy policy.
Disclosure and sharing of information
Personal customer information is not used for any other purposes than for the fulfillment of services offered on our website (membership registration, orders made online, email registration for email services etc). This includes information gathered in the course of surveys relating to products and services offered by us. If a situation were to arise in which it became necessary for us to use personal customer data for non-website related purposes, we would not disclose or share any information with any 3rd parties without prior consent from the customer.
Collection and use of information
When collecting personal information relating to the customer (hereinafter referred to as "personal data"), we inform the customer in advance of the intended usage of that data and request that the customer register their agreement with this. We do not use the information for any purpose other than the stated purpose.
DM
We occasionally send our customers information by email or post about products and services that we believe will be of interest to them. We will cease to do this if we receive notification from the customer that they no longer wish to receive this information.
Cookies
Cookies enable us to make the experience of browsing our website more convenient for visitors and are not intended to infringe the privacy of our customers. Cookies do not have an adverse affect on the customer's computer. It is possible to disable the cookie setting through your internet browser, although this will affect some of the browsing functionality of the site. Please direct any queries regarding browser settings to the relevant browser software provider
Security
We take all reasonable steps required to protect the privacy of customers who visit our website. Some of the services we offer on our site require customers to entrust us with highly confidential information (eg. credit card number etc.). However we ensure that all data of this nature is protected through methods such as data encryption.
Handling of personal data
It is our company policy to employ a data administrator to ensure the safe and appropriate handling of all personal data. We use appropriate methods for the handling of customers' personal data. Except in very particular circumstances, we do not disclose, rent, sell or assign personal data relating to our customers to any 3rd parties without the prior consent of the customer. However, we reserve the right to disclose this information in the event that we are asked to do so by a legal agency, or it is necessary for us to do so in the course of protecting our copyright or financial assets.
Customers must assume personal responsibility for the use of our website. We do not accept any responsibility for any damage or loss incurred as a result of using our website or 3rd party websites with links on our website. Our website is administered internally. The site can be accessed globally from countries whose laws and regulations may vary, but we ask that our customers comply with Japanese laws when using our website. We do not assert or guarantee anywhere on our site that the content of our site is appropriate for the particular circumstances of any of our customers. Customers access our website of their own free will and must accept all responsibility for the use of the site. * While, as stated above, we employ all possible means to ensure the protection of our customers' personal data, we ask that our customers also exercise caution in the handling of their own personal information.
Revisions to our privacy policy
We may decide in the future to revise a part or all of our privacy policy. If any substantive changes are made, we will ensure that these are clearly explained on our website
