What information do we collect?

We collect two basic types of information – Personal Information and Anonymous Information – and we may use these two types of information to create a third type of information, Aggregate Information.

  • Personal Information – “Personal Information” is information that is collected online, and either directly or indirectly identifies individuals.  When you engage in certain activities on the website or app, we may ask you to provide certain Personal Information. Anonymous Information (defined below) that is associated with Personal Information is also considered Personal Information.  We may collect the following Personal Information from you:
    • Registration information you provide us when you create an account, including your name, date of birth, gender, username, password, e-mail address, and telephone number;
    • Transaction information you provide us when you purchase a product or service from our website or app, including your payment information, telephone number, and shipping address;
    • Information you provide in public forums on the website or app (if any);
    • Information you send on or through the website or app, whether directly to another user or within a group, using our message, chat, post, or similar functionality, where we are permitted by law to collect this information;
    • Profile information you choose to share, such as your city, state, favorite bands, favorite shows, favorite music videos, favorite quote, your personal website, a picture, and a general description of yourself; and

Other Personal Information you choose to share, such as information you provide to us when you link your account on the website or app to third-party social networking sites or platforms.

  • You may also provide Personal Information to us offline, such as during a promotional, or other CJ sponsored event. Such information may include your first and last name, and email address. In all such cases, a link to this Privacy Notice will be provided.
  • Anonymous Information – “Anonymous Information” is information that does not and cannot reasonably be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual user. We use and share this Anonymous Information with third parties to improve the content and functionality of the website or app and our affiliated websites or apps, to better understand our customers and markets, and to improve our products and services.  Anonymous Information may include:
    • Information collected automatically through the operation of the website or app, such as cookies, flash cookies, or web beacons, which are not linked to any Personal Information. These technologies provide tracking data that allows us to implement useful features and deliver relevant content to you based on your preferences, location, or usage patterns.  We may associate some of this tracking data with your registration account if you choose to create one, in which case, we will treat it as Personal Information; and
    • Location information when you visit or use the website or app, including location information provided by a mobile device interacting with the website or app (through beacon technologies or otherwise).
  • Aggregate Information – “Aggregate Information” is information created through use of Personal Information and Anonymous Information about the categories of users, which does not and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual user, such as:
    • Usage, viewing, and technical data, including your device identifier or IP address, collected automatically when you use our website or app, or open e-mails that we send.

 

We collect information from you to improve our services and to provide you with an optimal experience.  Accordingly, we collect your information in the following ways:

 

  • Directly– When you provide information to us by: (i) requesting products, services, or information, (ii) registering an account, (iii) participating in public forums or other activities on the website or app, (iv) linking your account on the website or app with your account(s) on social networking sites, or (v) otherwise interacting with us;
  • Passively– Through technology, such as cookies, web beacons, other technologies, or our mobile app through our vendors;
  • From third parties– When other trusted sources provide us with information to update or supplement the information you provided to us or information we collected automatically, as permitted by law.

 

From time to time, we may receive commercially available demographic information, customer preferences data, and/or third-party business contact information collected from other sources. Business contact information may include names, phone numbers, and email addresses. Additionally, we may receive information about you that you have permitted a social network platform to share with third parties.

We may combine information collected offline, information collected through our website or from other CJ affiliates, and/or from third-party providers if that third-party has the right to provide the information.

 

PRIVACY OF CHILDREN

We support the guidelines and regulatory requirements provided for in the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”): http://www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm. We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under age 13. Children under 13 are expressly prohibited from providing any Personal Information to us through the website and app. In the event that we learn that we have inadvertently collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13, we will take reasonable measures to promptly remove such information from our records.

At various places on the website or app, we may ask users for their age. By using the website or app, and their respective services, you agree to respond truthfully about your age.

If a child has provided us with Personal Information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us at info@kconusa.com and we will make reasonable efforts to delete the provided information or otherwise protect the user.

 

How do we use personal information?

We collect, store, and use your Personal Information for the specific reasons that you provided such information and to provide you with a safe and customized experience on the website or app.  We may use information collected from you in any of the following ways:

  • To enforce the Terms of Use;

We will also use the Personal Information collected to market the new products and services, including special offers, promotional events, and participation in sweepstakes. This may include emails, physical mail, or digital advertisements.  We may use Anonymous Information and Aggregate Information for research and analysis to improve our products and services and to better understand our customers and markets.

EU RESIDENTS

If you are a European Union resident, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) permits you to request certain personal information, to request certain personal information to be erased, or to request inaccurate personal information to be fixed. Such a request is subject to GDPR regulations, as well as local laws and regulations where applicable.

We strive to protect your personal information.

The security, integrity, and confidentiality of your information are extremely important to us. From time to time, we review our security measures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. However, please be aware that no security measures are impenetrable. We cannot warrant the security of any Personal Information that you transmit to us. Any transmission of Personal Information is done at your own risk. We will retain your Personal Information for the length of time needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Therefore, we set limited access to your Personal Information only to specific employees, agents, and contractors who have a reasonable need to gather information. For instance, we may provide information to our technical support team with limited access to your account so that the team may troubleshoot any issues you may experience on the website and app.

We take precautions—including administrative, technical, and physical measures—to safeguard your Personal Information against loss theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. While we make efforts to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining your information. In the unlikely event that a data breach occurs, whether by accident or unlawful interference, we will take necessary precautions to do our best to promptly notify you.

You can help us by also taking precaution to protect your Personal Information when you are on the internet. Change your passwords often using a combination of letters, symbols, and numbers, and make sure you use a secure web browser.

Please note that because there is always some risk in transmitting information over the internet, CJ cannot guarantee the security and privacy of wireless transmissions or transmissions via the internet.  If you voluntarily disclose personal information online, or if anyone else has access to your personal computer, that information may be accessible to others.  You agree that you will not hold CJ liable for any damages resulting from any loss or breach of privacy or security occurring in connection with any communications over such networks.

 

PUBLIC FORUMS ON THE PROPERTY:

Please remember that information posted to message boards, blogs, and other forums on the website or app becomes public information. Users under the age of 18 should use extra caution when posting and should be careful not to disclose any Personally Information on areas of the website and app where such information may become public. We cannot guarantee that parties who have access to such publicly available information will respect your privacy. Accordingly, please exercise extreme caution when deciding to disclose your personal information in these areas.

 

We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time.

From time to time, we may update and revise this Privacy Notice to accommodate new technologies, industry practices, regulatory requirements, or other reasons. If we make any material changes to our Privacy Notice, we will notify our users by placing a notice on the home page of the website or app, or by sending a notice to our users at the e-mail addresses provided to us upon registration.
