POLA KIREI has created this statement (the "Privacy Policy") to inform you of POLA KIREI privacy practices and the terms and conditions under which data that we collect from you on the POLA KIREI Sites will be used, shared and otherwise treated. This Privacy Policy will also instruct you on how you can verify the accuracy, and control certain uses, of the information you provide to us on the POLA KIREI Sites.

  2. Collection and Use of Information

    When you register on one of the POLA KIREI Sites, we may ask you to provide your name, e-mail address, mailing address, telephone numbers, and other personal information (collectively "Your Information"). This allows the POLA KIREI Sites to maintain a user profile of each user so that we may customize preferences for each specific user, provide a faster method for Web visitors to submit information to POLA KIREI (and receive back either the information or products desired by each such user), notify users about important functionality changes to the POLA KIREI Sites, about new products and services offered by POLA KIREI and special offers that we believe users will find to be valuable, as well as generally allow us to better know our users and possibly tailor any specific features, promotions or other notifications to them.

    POLA KIREI may store and process Your Information in order to carry out the purpose for which such information was provided, which purposes you acknowledge include the general promotion, marketing, and advertising activities related to the products and services that POLA KIREI makes available from time to time, as well as for purposes ancillary to such promotion, marketing and advertising activities and in connection with any other lawful activity that POLA KIREI, directly or indirectly, engages in from time to time, whether by itself or through third parties. Further, you understand and agree that POLA KIREI has the unrestricted right to use such data for any and all lawful purposes.

    Additionally, if you choose to make a purchase online or enter a contest, you may also be given the opportunity to receive additional information about POLA KIREI products and other products and services that POLA KIREI has available from time to time. Certain services available on the POLA KIREI Sites may be provided by third parties, including without limitation, sub-contractors, authorized vendors, event co-sponsors and fulfillment companies, and POLA KIREI may provide Your Information to such third parties in order to deliver the requested service to you. For example, if you choose to purchase products or services from the POLA KIREI Sites or Web sites linked to the POLA KIREI Sites, Your Information provided in connection with such purchase may be made available to an authorized vendor to fulfill that order. POLA KIREI may also enhance or merge Your Information with data obtained from third parties, such as information provided by a co-sponsor of a particular promotion, which POLA KIREI may use in pursuit of the broad purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

    POLA KIREI may also share Your Information with third parties that POLA KIREI believes may be able to provide you with valuable product and service offers, based on Your Information. Additionally, in order to make the POLA KIREI Sites more enjoyable for visitors, POLA KIREI constantly strives to learn how users use the POLA KIREI Sites and we may use the services of a third party, such as a data processor, for these purposes and you agree that POLA KIREI may disclose Your Information to these third parties for these purposes. If you provide Your Information to the POLA KIREI Sites in connection with a promotion with another Web site or entity, you agree that Your Information can be used for the broad purposes set forth throughout this Policy Statement, including, without limitation, the sharing of Your Information with such other Web site or entity.

    In addition to the foregoing circumstances, Your Information may be shared with employees, agents, and independent contractors of POLA KIREI and/or with other third parties with whom POLA KIREI does business from time to time, including customer support specialists, Web hosting companies, fulfillment companies, and data analysis firms, in connection with services that these individuals or entities perform for POLA KIREI, for themselves or for any other lawful purpose.

    You also agree that POLA KIREI may transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of or encumber Your Information and other information concerning your use of the POLA KIREI Sites to third parties, at any time in POLA KIREI's discretion, including, without limitation, as a result of the sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of all or substantially of the assets, bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation of POLA KIREI or for any other reason whatsoever. You would not be entitled to any compensation arising from any such transfer, sale, assignment, disposition or encumbrance of Your Information.
