Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, CasioPart.com (collectively, “CasioPart”, “our”, “we”, or “us”) provides this privacy statement notice (“Privacy Statement”) explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested (“Site”). Please note that our parent and affiliated entities have their own privacy policies governing the collection and use of personal information by such entities.

If you are a California resident, please see the “California Residents’ Rights” section below for more information about additional rights you may have.
1. The Information We Collect and How We Use It
a. Information You Provide and Purpose of Collection.
We may collect personal information directly from you (from forms you completed, information you submitted, products you purchased, or services you requested) and indirectly from you (through automated collection of your web browsing activities). This information is collected for a number of purposes, as described in more detail below, and is provided to us and shared with our CasioPart parent and affiliate entities under the conditions established under this Privacy Statement.
Required Information. There are pages on this site where we request specific information about you, in order to register your CasioPart product, create an account, process your orders, fulfill your requests for information such as when you download products, provide customer service, communicate with you about past orders, and keep your knowledge about our products and services current (“Personal Data”). We may also collect information you provide us if you enter a contest or promotion, or sign-up to receive newsletters or related services. We may also collect information when you apply for a job opening or otherwise submit employment data to us. The types of personal information collected at these pages are:
Name
Address
Email address
Phone number
Credit/Debit Card Information
Demographic Information
Birth Date or Age Group
Earning Bracket
On some pages, we may request that you submit information about other people. For example, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you will need to submit the recipient’s address. In this circumstance, the types of personal information collected about other people are:
Name
Address
Email address
Phone Number
Whenever we require information from you, it is our policy to collect and save such information so that we do not need to ask you for it repeatedly. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of some of the features in this website.
Registering for an Account. During the checkout process and on various pages on our Site, you are able to create an account with us. Creating an account allows you to track your purchases, and receive a more personalized shopping experience.
Product Registration. In addition to the required information above, we collect product information from you if you choose to register your product with us for purposes of warranty or customer service communications. Information you submit in connection with product registration will not be used to provide promotional or marketing information unless you agree to this on the registration form.
Orders. In the process of placing an order on the Site, you provide information required to complete your transaction, validate your identity, confirm compliance with regulations related to the purchase, and to complete the transaction. We do not share this information with outside parties except as reasonably necessary to complete an order. We use the information you provide about someone else when placing an order only to ship the product and to confirm delivery.
Optional Information Supplied Voluntarily. From time to time, we may invite you to participate in voluntary surveys or otherwise supply additional certain optional information. Responding to these requests is completely voluntary and is your choice. We collect and analyze information voluntarily supplied via surveys or otherwise in order to track and improve service to our customers and potential customers, for internal marketing purposes, and for any additional purposes indicated in the request for information.
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our product registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals. We also use this demographic information in designing and evaluating new products that CasioPart manufactures.
Geolocation Information. When you use a smart phone, mobile device or computer to access the Site or use our mobile application, we may collect information about your physical location. We may combine this information with other location-based information (e.g., your IP address and billing/postal code), to provide you with other services on your mobile device. We share your location information only with third parties that help us provide you with services. You can opt out of sharing this information by changing the permissions in your mobile device.
Special Categories of Data. Generally, we do not collect or process categories of Personal Data that require a heightened level of protection under data protection legislation in some jurisdictions because it reveals or concerns sensitive information, such as health matters, race, or ethnic origin (“Special Categories of Data”). However, there could be a situation (such as for employment purposes) where we may process such data. In this case, we will be sure to comply with applicable data protection legislation, including relying on the necessary legal grounds to process the data (e.g., processing health data for an insurance contract). We shall use reasonable security practices and procedures to safeguard your Special Categories of Data.
Automatic Collection of Information. Like many websites, our site may periodically utilize a technology called “cookies.” A cookie is a small data file that a web server can deliver to your browser, which is then stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies are designed to permit us to provide better or more personalized service when you are visiting our site and can also identify websites visited between visits to our site. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, providing you with as much control as you wish as to the decision to accept/reject the cookie, and deletion of the cookie upon leaving our website. Refer to your browser’s Help information for details on setting cookie notification services.
We may also track the Internet domains from which people contact us, and from time-to-time we may gather information concerning the “referring” domain that a person visited prior to our site, and the “destination” domain a person visits after leaving our site. Information automatically collected is used to identify and analyze the trends and statistics of visits to our website and to make our website more responsive to the needs and interests of our customers. We may also use the information to support Site features by not asking you to re-enter information we already possess. We also use this information to personalize your experience when you use the Site and to improve marketing efforts, including through use of targeted advertising. As the Internet evolves, we may use different types of technologies for this purpose. Unless prohibited by law, creating a user identity during a visit to the Site constitutes your consent to processing your Personal Data, and we may link the information your browser provides to information that identifies you personally, as described in this Privacy Statement.
b. Information from Third Parties
Social Media. We may also receive certain information about you from third parties, such as through your use of a social network authentication to sign-in to the Site, your use of an authenticated payment method, or through other online data sources, according to the rules of the use and processing of such information established by the respective source. If any Personal Data are freely available or accessible in the public domain, we will not have any obligations to you regarding the same.
Third-Party Cookies and Other Similar Technologies. Web technologies may also be placed on the Site by third party providers. Also, we or third-party providers may place web technologies on behalf of the supplier whose branding appears on the Site or its service providers. In this way, our supplier would be allowed to use the data collected. This information is used to enhance your experience with the Site, for marketing analysis, for targeted and display advertising, and for quality improvement. We may collect your IP address through web technologies.
We and our suppliers may use third party service providers in connection with the Site, which may include but are not limited to: Google Analytics, Google Optimize, Adobe Analytics, Facebook, Unbounce, Klaviyo, Zendesk, HotJar, Treasure Data, Qualtrics, Salesforce, YOTPO, Attentive, AvantLink, Pinterest, Bing and Adobe Target. These and other service providers may collect information about your visits to websites, your interaction with that website, and the products and services offered by us or our Suppliers. Their collection and use of information are subject to their own privacy policies. We do not receive information from these service providers that can be used to specifically identify you. If you would like to access what browsing information we have or ask us to delete any Google Analytics data, please delete your Google cookies and/or install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

There may be times when we will need to disclose your information to our providers, contractors, suppliers, or distributors for the purpose of fulfilling an order for products and services requested by you, or otherwise processing transactions and related information. Before doing so, we will require the organizations receiving such information to commit to the same level of protection for your information as is provided in this Privacy Statement.

You can opt-out of receiving text messages from us at anytime by texting the words “STOP,” “QUIT,” “UNSUBSCRIBE,” “END,” or “CANCEL.”
Use of Anonymous Information. We may use information that has undergone anonymization such that it can no longer be used to identify an individual and cannot be combined with other information to re-identify an individual (“Anonymous Information”). In this case, all personal data elements, such as name, street address, phone number, email address, and others will be anonymized in accordance with applicable law. We may use the Anonymous Information to:
Perform fraud prevention activities, such as device fingerprinting;
Personalize and support your use of the Site and/or the services of our Supplier;
Improve the Site, the customer experience, our advertising systems, and our products and services;
Identify transactions as originating through an affiliate marketing or referral program;

We may also use de-identified data (data where certain identifiers are removed to prevent a person’s identity from being directly connected with the information (such as masking certain personal identifiers)) for the same purposes as described in this section, as well as for related purposes, as allowed by applicable law.
Other Uses of Your Personal Data. We may also use your Personal Data:
· To verify that data we have about you is accurate;
· to send questionnaires to you by us or our affiliates for design and improve our products or services customized to interests of consumers;
· To contact you if you have requested communication from us; and

5. Our Commitment To Data Security.
We have implemented reasonable physical, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, acquisition, or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
