When you visit our website

When you visit our website write-japanese.com, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as "Device Information."

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

"Cookies" are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit https://www.acquisition.gov/cookies-opt-out.
"Log files" track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as "Order Information."

When we talk about "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

How do we use your personal information?

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:

Communicate with you;
Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

Sharing your personal information

We use Google Analytics to collect and process data about our website visitors. This data helps us understand how people use our site, and we use it to improve their experience. Google Analytics collects information such as the pages visited, the length of time spent on the site, and the websites that referred the user to our site. Google Analytics uses cookies to track this information. You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use our site and how to opt out of tracking by Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on page.

We may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

Behavioral Advertising

As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative's ("NAI") educational page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/what-are-my-options.

You can opt out of targeted advertising by:

Visit the Network Advertising Initiative's ("NAI") opt-out page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
On the opt-out page, you will see a list of participating companies that have enabled cookies on your browser.
Click on the company names to learn more about their data collection and use practices and to opt out of their tracking.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the opt-out process.

Note: Opting out of targeted advertising will not stop all types of advertising from reaching you. You may still see advertisements that are not based on your specific interests or browsing history.

Alternatively, you can also opt out of targeted advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance's ("DAA") opt-out page at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. The DAA is a self-regulatory organization that provides a centralized resource for consumers to learn about and exercise their choices about online behavioral advertising.

Data retention

When you place an order through the Site, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.
