PRIVACY POLICY

(Effective Date: Dec 11, 2015)

LEVEL-5 abby Inc. and its affiliates (collectively "LEVEL-5" or "we") owns and operates this Website. This Privacy Policy describes our data collection, use, sharing, and security practices associated with this Website. We may make changes and updates to this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we will post the changes here and update the effective date above. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we may notify you more prominently and seek your prior consent (or the consent of a parent or legal guardian).

Children and Parents

If you are a parent or legal guardian of a young child (i.e., a child under the age of 13), we urge you to supervise and participate in your child’s use of this Website. From time to time this Website may offer certain activities, features or events where user registration is needed to participate. To protect the online privacy of children under the age of 13, we may require parents/legal guardians to register in order for their kids to participate in such activities, events, or features, or we may require prior verifiable parental consent before giving children access to such features in compliance with COPPA. Alternatively, in accordance with COPPA’s one-time-use exception, we may allow anyone to participate in certain activities by providing only an email address and a first name (if allowable) and we will use that information to contact the user once only in connection with his/her participation in the applicable activity, feature or event, and will thereafter delete the information from our database.

If we were to collect and store personal information from children for ongoing use, we would give parents the ability to review such data or request that we delete or stop collecting or using such data. When applicable, parents can use the contact information provided at the bottom of this policy to make such requests.

To learn more about COPPA, please refer to this simple one-page informational guide from the kidSAFE Seal Program.

We do not knowingly share your personal information with third parties for direct marketing uses, except with your opt-in consent.

Do Not Track (DNT) Disclosure

This Website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals of web browsers. However, should the industry establish uniform technological standards for recognizing and implementing "Do Not Track" signals, we would be open to following such industry standards.

What Information We May Collect

We may collect the following types of information from and about users on this Website:

• Personally Identifiable Information or "PII": This is information that identifies you personally, such as your first and last name, email address, and phone number. We do not collect PII from you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. You may access most areas of this Website without providing PII to us, but from time to time this Website may include areas where user registration is needed to access certain features or participate in certain activities or events. We ask for and collect your PII when you register in one of such areas or when you contact us to make a request or inquiry (each, an "Identification Activity"). Whether or not to disclose PII is completely your choice. However, without providing PII you will not be able to engage in or complete an Identification Activity with us. If PII is requested/collected from children, we will first obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting or storing such information, unless we are exempt from doing so under COPPA.
• Aggregate and Anonymous Information or "AAI": This refers to information that does not identify you personally. For example, we may use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect aggregate usage and traffic information pertaining to this Website. We do not use these third-party services to collect PII about users of this Website. We may also collect aggregate information that can help us analyze and understand our users’ demographics, interests, preferences, etc. In addition, we may aggregate our users’ PII by removing personally-identifiable elements (such as names) so as to "anonymize" or "de-personalize" the information. User Activity Information or "UAI : This refers to information we collect about user activities on this Website. For example, we and/or our service providers may use cookies and/or similar technologies to collect "clickstream data" about users, such as: IP addresses (which are numerical numbers that are automatically assigned to users’ computers and mobile devices when they are surfing the Internet), the types of mobile web browser and mobile operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, etc. See the "Cookies and Similar Technologies" section below for more information.
  • NOTE: To the extent we use UAI in a manner that identifies a user individually (e.g., if we link or associate such information with a specific user’s computer or mobile device), such information will be treated as PII. Otherwise, UAI will be treated as AAI.

What We Do With the Information

The following describes how we may use users’ information (including PII) collected on this Website:

• To provide, operate, manage, maintain and improve this Website: This includes using PII to enable, administer and manage users’ Identification Activities.
• To communicate with users: This includes informing you about changes relating to this Website (including changes in this Privacy Policy and/or our Terms of Use), responding to a request or inquiry you have made with us, and sending you information that may be of interest to you (e.g., news about Yo-kai Watch, special offers and promotions from LEVEL-5).
• To share with our service providers: We use third-party service providers to assist us with this Website’s operation, hosting, maintenance, security, etc. and they may need to access our users’ PII in order to perform tasks for us. We require that our service providers limit their use of our users’ PII solely to providing services to this Website and that they safeguard such information and not make unauthorized use or disclosure of the information.
• To protect our rights, etc.: We may disclose user information (including PII) if doing so, in our good faith belief, is necessary to: (i) protect the rights, property, safety or security of this Website, our users, and/or the public (including enforcement of the terms of this Privacy Policy and/or any of our other terms or policies pertaining to this Website); (ii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; (iii) comply with law or legal process (including a court order or subpoena); and/or (iv) to cooperate with law enforcement (including investigation of an alleged or suspected crime, fraud or other illegal activity).
• To complete a merger, sale of business or assets, etc.: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of business or assets, our users’ information (including PII) may be transferred to one or more third parties involved in such transaction and, upon such transfer, the relevant third-party privacy policy or policies may govern further use of the information. In the event of such a change of ownership, we will endeavor to notify our users of the change as well as any choices our users may have regarding the change.
• Use and sharing of AAI: Because of the anonymous, non-personally identifiable nature of AAI, there are no restrictions under this Privacy Policy on how we may use and share AAI. Except as expressly otherwise stated, we do not sell, rent or market our user information (including PII) to third parties.

Information Access, Retention and Choice

• Information Access: If you have provided PII to us on this Website and you wish to view or update your information in our database, please Contact Us.
• Data Retention: By engaging in an Identification Activity on this Website, you acknowledge and agree that we may retain the information (including PII) provided by you in our database for as long as you continue to use this Website or we have legitimate business need to store such information. We also reserve the right to retain the information as necessary to comply with law or legal process (including a court order or subpoena), to cooperate with law enforcement (including investigation of an alleged or suspected crime, fraud or other illegal activity), to complete a pending transaction, to resolve a claim or dispute, and/or to enforce an applicable agreement between you and us. Because of its non-personally-identifiable nature, AAI(including UAI that is not personally identifiable) may be retained indefinitely.
