Last updated: Aug. 2nd, 2024

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

Mod in Japan is the sole owner of consumer information collected through this website. We do not and will not sell or rent this information to any outside parties under any circumstances. We collect information from you, our customers, solely to process orders and provide you with pertinent information such as order confirmations and order status updates. Information collected on our Site includes but is not limited to your name, email address, billing and shipping addresses, telephone number(s), and payment information such as your credit card number.

ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

To better process orders placed through this website, we ask that you complete a short registration form during checkout. During the registration process, you will be required to submit your name, email address, street address, and telephone number. We use this contact information to provide important SKindustriesusa.com services, including automated order updates sent via email. We may also use this information to contact you if we have any problems processing your order. Before the registration process is complete, you will be asked to submit a password of your choice for future access to your account settings and history. To ensure your account information remains confidential, do not share your username or password with anyone. If you forget your password and would like to have it emailed to you, you may use the "Forgot Password" feature located on our login page. If you forget both your username and your password, please contact our Customer Service Department for assistance.

ORDER PAYMENT

In addition to the information provided during the registration process, you will be asked to provide certain financial information, such as your credit card number and expiration date, before we can finalize your order. This information is collected for payment purposes only. To gain proper authorization and transaction approval, we must submit your personal and financial information to our merchant bank. This process is carefully protected by an enhanced security system to ensure the safety of your information. We do not share your personal or financial information with any third parties, except those specified in the Information Sharing section below.

WEBSITE COOKIES

A cookie is a small text file placed on your hard drive to store information. ModinJapan.com customizes certain page content based on your browser type and other information provided by our cookies. We will not share any personally identifiable information provided by a cookie with any third party; we will, however, link data stored in the cookie to the personally identifiable information you submitted through our Site. This allows us to personalize your shopping experience and discern user preferences. The ModinJapan.com Shopping Cart feature also uses cookie technology to save account registration information and to retain your order history for future account access. If you choose to disable cookie functionality, you may still browse our store; however, you will be unable to use the Shopping Cart, and thus ModinJapan.com will be unable to accept your online order.

LOG FILES

We use computer IP addresses to administer the Site, track user movement, analyze trends, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We do not link any IP addresses to personally identifiable information, and we do not distribute or share IP information with any third parties.

INFORMATION SHARING

We may employ third party companies to perform certain designated functions on our behalf. These functions relate to order fulfillment, package and postal delivery, email delivery, customer service, data analysis, and credit processing. The third parties we contract for these purposes have limited access to your personal information and may not use it for any reason other than those we have previously delimited. In the event of a product recall, we may disclose your contact information to the product manufacturer(s) in the interest of consumer safety. We also reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law, and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our website.

PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL

To honor the privacy of our users, promotional communications from ModinJapan.com are only sent to those customers who wish us to do so.

Consumers who opt-in to the sale of personal information may opt-out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, You (or Your authorized representative) may submit a request to Us by contacting Us.
