Information we gather or track

Information on general usage and any optional personal details you provide to us will be used to provide you with enhanced features such as customized content, access to our bulletin boards, participation in chats and the ability to access a wider range of information.

The following are details of the information we collect:

• Kontentsu Corp collects data so that we may display personalized content to our visitors. We collect names, addresses, email addresses and demographic information during the registration process for our site. We also keep track of the newsletters, updates and other features for which a user may register. Additionally, usage information may be analyzed so that we can judge our system's performance or execute your customized features.
• Your computer reaches us via a particular IP (Internet Protocol) address. This can tell us things like what part of the world you're coming from or what service provider you are using, but Kontentsu Corp does not link your IP address to any personally identifiable information about you.
• Your browser offers so-called "cookies" which -- if you allow their use -- store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to our site. Cookies assist us in tracking which of our features you like best. And when you re-visit our site, cookies enable us to customize our content according to your preferences. However, cookies tell us nothing about you personally unless you specifically give us additional information. The Kontentsu.com Web site is viewable even if a user disables the cookie function within the Web browser. However, some advanced features use cookies to assist in keeping track of your location within the Web site in order to provide navigational trails and similar navigational features. These cookies are not used to personally identify your surfing patterns, and are merely used to provide navigation links. Disabling your cookies simply means that some of these features will not have custom navigation available to you.
• Our registration form may ask for contact and demographic information used to send news about our products or promotional material from our partners. You will be able to opt-out of receiving any mailings. Demographic information may be used to customize content that we think might be of interest or related to your past visits.
• Surveys may ask for contact information or unique identifying information to increase the value of the results. We share only aggregate information from our surveys. We do not share any personal information.

What we do with collected information

• We sometimes use provided information to personalize features of our Website based on your preferences.
• We'll use your email contact information to provide you with newsletters to which you subscribe, or for similar information we think you may find of interest. However, you can choose to opt out of these mailings. By providing your contact information you will be eligible to acquire user ID's and passwords that will allow you to participate in our discussion features, including forums and bulletin boards.
• We reserve the right to use or disclose any information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request; to conduct investigations of consumer complaints or possible breaches of law; to protect the integrity of our site and our property; to protect the safety of our visitors or others; to fulfill your requests; or to cooperate in any legal investigation.

Who can use collected information and how

• Feedback is used by Kontentsu Corp staff to improve our service to you.
• Please be aware that if you voluntarily disclose information online, personal or otherwise, that information can be collected and used by others. For example, if you use chat, forums, bulletin boards, your e-mail or, if you post personal information online, you may receive unsolicited messages from others. We have no means to control this use of your information.

Choosing to opt-out of information collection

• We provide visitors the opportunity to opt-out of receiving e-mail from us when we first request registration information from you.
• Some personal information is required for registration. Additional information may be required for access to specific content. You can always choose not to receive additional mailings at that time.

Children's privacy

No parts of kontentsu.com are directed at children under 13. Nonetheless, Kontentsu Corp will NOT:

• Collect online contact information from a user under 13 without prior verifiable parental consent, which includes an opportunity for the parent to prevent use of the information and participation in the activity. When we do not obtain prior verifiable parental consent, online contact information will be used only to directly respond to the child's request and will not be used to contact the child for other purposes.
• Collect personally identifiable offline contact information from users under 13 without prior verifiable parental consent.
• Distribute to third parties any personally identifiable information collected from a child under 13 without prior verifiable parental consent.
• Give the ability to children to send e-mail, create personal web pages, participate in forums or kids chat rooms without prior verifiable parental consent.
• Entice a child under 13 by the prospect of a special game, prize or other activity, to divulge more information than is needed to participate in such activity.

The following are details of the information we collect and how we use it:

• Kontentsu Corp collects data so that we may display personalized content to our visitors. Additionally, usage information may be analyzed so that we can judge our system's performance or execute your customized features. Your computer reaches us via a particular IP, (Internet Protocol), address. This can tell us things like what part of the world your computer is connecting from. Or what service provider you are using. Your browser offers so-called "cookies" which -- if you or your child allow their use -- store small amounts of data on your computer about your child's visit to any of our sites. Cookies assist us in tracking which of our features your child likes best. And when your child re-visits our Website, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to your child's preferences. However, cookies tell us nothing about your child personally unless you or your child specifically give us additional information. Demographic information may be used to customize the display of our Website to your child by showing content that we think might be of interest or related to the child's past visits.
• The kontentsu.com Web site includes many topical areas that all users may access. It does not contain any Adult-Only content. By giving your verifiable consent to allow your child to use chat, forums, newsletters, and/or any other functionality of the kontentsu.com Web site in which your child may provide personally identifiable information, your child will also have access to those relevant functionalities throughout the Web site.
• We'll use email contact information to provide users with newsletters to which the user subscribed, or for similar information we think the user may find of interest. However, you can choose to discontinue your child's receipt of these mailings.

COPPA

Because we care about the safety and privacy of children online, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulation establish United States federal law that protects the privacy of children using the Internet. We offer the following for the protection of children under 13:

• Many kontentsu.com activities may collect information about children under 13, including e-mail, forum participation, and chat rooms. Use of such activities requires initial registration by the participant. Children under 13 who wish to register are asked to have a parent or legal guardian do so for them. The parent must provide a credit card number for verification that he/she is an adult. Upon verification, the parent can choose which activities he or she would like the child to participate in. The parent can change the selected activities at any time.
• After obtaining parental consent, we collect and maintain the name, date of birth, and email address of children who register. We use this information to contact children for subscription to newsletters. Parents can review their child's personal information, ask to have it deleted and refuse to allow any further collection or use of their child's information. To do so, log on as a member and clicking on the Parental Controls link in their membership profile.
• We do not distribute to third parties any personally identifiable information collected from children under 13 or from sites that are specifically directed to children under 13.
• We use a technology called "cookies" to track what pages users visit on our service, as described in the previous section of this document. We also use cookies to check the age of registered users who enter chat rooms. Users under 13 are not permitted in chat rooms unless their parents have consented to their participation, as above.
• This site is operated by Kontentsu Corp. We are the only operator that collects or maintains children's personal information through this site. If you have any questions regarding this policy or the safety of kids at kontentsu.com, please contact us at: Kontentsu Corp.

Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act
