Information Collection and Use
TAKARA SAKE USA INC. is the sole owner of the information collected on
this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others
in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. TAKARA SAKE
USA INC. collects information from our users at several different points
on our takarasake.com website.
You may, from time to time, receive information from us about new features,
new services and special offers we think you'll find valuable.
Bottle Limits and Availability
In some instances, state laws regulate product availability and/or wine
purchase limitations. Working within state and local laws may prevent
our ability to fulfill your order requests.
Cookies
A cookie is an alphanumeric piece of data stored on the end-user's hard
drive containing information that relates directly to the end-user's visit
to our web site. We use a cookie to store a unique session identifier,
and this allows us to maintain your shopping cart and information from
one page request to the next. Cookies also enable us to track and target
the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site and show
you the products that your order history indicates you prefer.
Registration
No registration is required in order to use this website, though a user
must create an account prior to any purchase. During account creation
a user is required to provide specific information, and a password of
their choosing. This information is used to contact the user about the
services on our site for which they have expressed interest.
Ordering
TAKARA SAKE USA INC. order forms request information from users such as:
Contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information
(credit card number, expiration date, billing address, and billing phone
number). This information is used for billing purposes to verify the customer
is of legal age, and to fill customers' orders. If we have trouble processing
an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
This information is encrypted for our customers' protection, and is not
sold or shared with anyone else under any circumstances.
Gift Recipients
We collect contact information for gift recipients in order to ensure
correct gift delivery. We do not sell or rent any contact information
for gift recipients, but may, from time to time, send offers about new
features, new services and special offers we think the recipient will
find valuable. We always allow gift recipients to opt out of receiving
future mailings.
Sharing
TAKARA SAKE USA INC. will share aggregated demographic information with
its partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information
that can identify any individual person. We use an outside shipping company
to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for
goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Security
When our order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number and/or social security number) that information is
encrypted and is protected with encryption software - SSL (Secure Socket
Layers), provided by PayPal. 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 unlocked,
or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we
also have implemented internal policies to protect user-information offline.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send
an email to: info@takarasake.com.
Correcting/Updating Personal Information
If your personally identifiable information changes (such as your shipping
or billing address, your preferred credit card, etc.), you can add new
information or delete any addresses or credit cards from your account
at the Your Account page of our site. Of course, if you would like to
speak to one of our customer service representatives, they are happy to
help you. Please call us at 510-540-8250.
Choice/Opt-out
Users who no longer wish to receive our electronic newsletter or promotional
materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications
by changing their settings in the "Your Account" section. Users
who no longer wish to receive announcements via postal mail can mail a
letter to us at Customer Service, TAKARA SAKE USA INC., 708 Addison St.,
Berkeley, CA 94710; call 510-540-8250; or email us at info@takarasake.com
and let us know that you would like to be removed from the mailing list.
Fair Credit Billing Act
We guarantee that every online transaction you make will be conducted
within industry standards. This means you pay nothing if unauthorized
charges are made to your card as a result of shopping at our online store.
Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank cannot hold you liable for
more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. If your bank does hold you liable
for any of this $50.00, we will cover the entire liability for you, up
to the full $50.00. We will only cover this liability if the unauthorized
use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases
made while using the secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of
your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance
with its reporting rules and procedures.
