Shiseido carefully handles any Personal Information that it collects on the website www.ca-e.shiseido.com, (the "Website") and handles all Personal Information collected through the Website in accordance with this privacy policy. Shiseido generally does not require users to provide any Personal Information in order to access or view the Website. However, when Shiseido receives any Personal Information through the Website in a special request, Shiseido will not use the Personal Information for any purposes other than the following: (i) to respond to queries and requests from individuals; and (ii) to provide the customer with any requested services.

Cookies are used to keep a record on an individual's computer indicating that the individual has visited the Website. Information collected in this manner does not include e-mail addresses, names or information which enables identification of an individual. Shiseido may use cookies in the Website for the following purposes: (i) when there is an application crossing over several pages of the Website and such necessary information is temporarily recorded in order for individuals to use the Website conveniently, and (ii) when Shiseido or a third party conducts survey analysis of the access trends of customers on the Website in order to provide better service through the Website.

Individuals may choose to disable cookies in their internet browser. However, please note that there may be some contents of the Website which may not function properly or which cannot be used when cookies are disabled.

Although Shiseido does its best to protect the Personal Information of individuals on the Website, for other websites linked to the Website which are not managed by Shiseido, Shiseido is unable to manage individuals' Personal Information, and Shiseido is not responsible for information that is provided to these other websites.

Transfer and Disclosure

Shiseido may transfer or disclose some Personal Information to third parties (i) for the uses described above; (ii) in circumstances where the third party has obtained independent consent that allows it to receive the Personal Information (e.g., a retail store where Shiseido products and services are sold that has obtained appropriate consents from its customers); and (iii) that are affiliates or other non-affiliated third parties for the joint marketing and promotions of products, services or events that may be of interest to customers and to perform certain specialized services such as, but not limited to, payment processing and order shipment. These service providers are given only the Personal Information needed to perform the relevant services.

Individuals who do not want Shiseido to share their Personal Information with third parties may opt-out by notifying the Shiseido Privacy Officer using the information provided below. Please note that if an individual's consent is withdrawn, Shiseido may not be able to provide that individual with certain services as a result of his or her withdrawal of consent.

Shiseido may also disclose Personal Information if required or permitted to do so by law.

When dealing with any transfer or disclosure of Personal Information, Shiseido takes reasonable measures to safeguard the security and confidentiality of all Personal Information. In particular, Shiseido requires third party recipients to use and handle Personal Information responsibly, lawfully, and in accordance with Shiseido's instructions, and Shiseido prohibits third party recipients from using the Personal Information for any purpose other than those for which consent has been obtained. As part of this information sharing, Personal Information may be securely used, stored and processed in a foreign country where it may be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities.

Shiseido retains Personal Information only as long as required by law or as necessary to fulfil the purposes identified above, after which time it will be destroyed, deleted, or made anonymous.

In particular, Shiseido: (i) ensures that Shiseido personnel and representatives are aware of, understand, and comply with Shiseido's privacy practices and policies; (ii) only allows authorized Shiseido personnel and representatives to access Personal Information, (iii) restricts access to storage locations (e.g., locked filing cabinets or binders) and secure office and retail facilities (e.g., locked offices and adequate premises security); and (iv) employs technology (e.g., firewalls, passwords, encryption, etc.) to protect the security of Personal Information held in electronic form. These measures will be reviewed periodically and revised to address relevant legal and technical developments. When dealing with affiliated or non-affiliated third parties Shiseido will ensure that Personal Information that is transferred to or stored with third parties receives a comparable level of protection.

An individual may, upon request, access or review any Personal Information that Shiseido has collected and retained about him or her and be informed of any use, retention or disclosure of his or her Personal Information.
