NIPPON POWERŪ PRIVACY POLICY STATEMENT
In an effort to keep your shopping experience convenient, enjoyable and most
importantly, safe; Nippon PowerŪ is committed in protecting your privacy
online. Below is a brief outline of our privacy policy.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
Nippon PowerŪ is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. When
you shop on our website, we collect personal information from you such as name,
address, email, phone number and/or credit card information. This information is
used for billing purposes for filling customer's orders, contacting customers to
inform them of order status and sending promotional information. We will not
sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is
disclosed in this statement. Nippon PowerŪ collects information from our users
at several different points on our website.
LOG FILES
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's
movement within the site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
SHARING
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify
any person individually.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing
company to charge users for goods and services. These companies do not retain,
share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except
for the purpose of providing these services.
SECURITY
Nippon PowerŪ takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is
protected both online and off-line.
When our order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as name,
address, phone number, credit card information), that information is encrypted
and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry, SSL. While
on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'. When you
submit your order, the sensitive information is sent to our secure server that
is retrieved only by authorized administrators via secure connection and pass
worded logs.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (i.e. for billing purposes or service representatives) are granted access to
personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected
screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter
their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees
are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as
well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or
reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to
ensure our customers' information is protected.
NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
webpage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use
it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide
to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that
stated at the time it was collected, we would notify users by way of email.
Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this
different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy
under which the information was collected.
