We respect the privacy of the visitors to the kantoaudio.com website. We take great care to protect your information. This privacy policy tells you what information we collect and how we may use it as well as the steps we take to ensure that it is protected.

WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

There are cases where Kanto may ask you for personal information, such as your name, address, email address, etc. We do this for instance when you register for contests/promotions, respond to communication such as e-mail, and for services that require registration or subscription. If you would like to be on our mailing list, we will ask you to actively opt-in. We might also collect personal information from you about a third party, for instance if the website allows you to send an email referring someone to our site or an active promotion, in which case we need to know the name and e-mail address of the recipient. That information will only be used for the specific purpose (delivering the email) and Kanto will not further contact the third party unless the third party contacts us.

  • We may use ‘cookies’ to gather information about your visits to our website and enhance your experience. You can find more information on how we use cookies in the section ‘Use of Cookies’.
  • When you visit our website we may collect so-called ‘click stream’ data (server address, domain name etc). This information can be combined with information you have provided to us (for instance by registering), which will enable us to analyze and better customize your visits.

USE OF VISITORS’ INFORMATION

All personal information that we obtain about you will be recorded, used and protected by us in accordance with current data protection legislation and this privacy policy. We will primarily use your personal information to provide products and services to you and, for example:

  • To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature and to provide you with the relevant products or services (for instance to deliver a prize you may have won in a contest). You may be contacted by phone or email.
  • To send you information/materials via e-mail, Twitter or sms-messages about products, offers and news we think could interest you. This information may relate to products, offers and news of Kanto and/or its licensees or carefully selected commercial partners. We only send you this if you have opted-in to receive Kanto e-mails, Twitter messages and/or sms messages. In case you do not want to receive any e-mails, Twitter messages and/or sms messages from us anymore, or if you want to modify you personal data or want your personal data to be deleted from our database, we refer you to the ‘Opt-out, delete or modify personal information’ section below
  • To analyze visits to the website and learn about the interests of our visitors in aggregate and also on personal level to better understand your interest and need, so we can improve our products and services and deliver to you the type of content, features and promotions that you are most interested in.

WHO MANAGES VISITORS’ INFORMATION?

The global and local websites of Kanto and the information collected, are managed and controlled by Kanto Distribution Inc. The servers that make the global and local websites of Kanto available are located in Canada. If you are located outside Canada, please note that the information you provide will be transferred to Canada and by submitting the information you authorize this transfer. Kanto Distribution Inc. has entered into an agreement with a hosting company in Canada to provide sufficient safeguards for the protection of your data. Personal information will be handled in accordance with current data protection legislation and this Privacy Policy.

PROTECTION OF VISITORS’ INFORMATION

In order to protect the information you provide to us by visiting our website we have implemented various security measures. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of people, who have special access rights and are required to keep the information confidential.

Please keep in mind though that whenever you give out personal information online there is a risk that third parties may intercept and use that information. While Kanto strives to protect its user’s personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online and you do so at your own risk.

CHILDRENS’ PRIVACY

When a child tries to submit his/her registration he/she will be asked to submit the same kind of information as indicated in the above section ‘Information we collect from visitors’. Furthermore the information provided by the child and gathered (for instance through the use of cookies) during his/her visit may be used as indicated in the said above section.

DISCLOSING PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

Except as described in this policy, we do not sell, trade or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. Your data may be transferred to web site hosting partners and other parties who assist us in designing and operating the website, executing services (for instance product fulfillment) or help us analyze collected data. These parties will only use your data for the purpose of carrying out the work as indicated and will be required to keep the information confidential. We will also release personal data without consent if such is required by law, for security purposes, or to prevent imminent harm.

For your convenience and to improve the usage of the website we might insert links to third parties, for which this privacy policy does not apply. These links take you outside our service and off the Kanto Systems site and are beyond our control. This includes links from partners that may use Kanto logos as part of a co-branding agreement or sell Kanto products. The sites you can link to have their own separate privacy policy and although we seek to protect the integrity of our site, Kanto is not responsible and cannot be held liable for the content and activities of these sites. Your visit/access to these sites is therefore entirely at your own risk. Please note that these other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information.

Outfunnel LocalStorage

We use third party marketing software Outfunnel in order to send our emails and manage our marketing campaigns. Outfunnel uses localStorage as part of tracking, so we would have information on email open rates and click through rates. Outfunnel also tracks activity on the website.

How does it work?

We embed a localStorage based tracking code on our website. When visitors come to the website, localStorage is placed in the web browser and the tracking code sends information to Outfunnel about that visitor’s web activity. Outfunnel also tracks opens of emails, clicks on any of the hyperlinks included and other email activity.

What information does Outfunnel collect?

When tracking code is added to a page, Outfunnel automatically gathers the following information:

  • Page visits
    • Time of each page visit
    • IP Address
    • Referrer (Source, Medium)
    • User ID
