Introduction
This website is operated by WORLD LOCALIZE Inc. This privacy notice only covers information collected at this website, and does not cover any information collected offline by TOKYO STREET COLLECTION (unless specifically stated). TOKYO STREET COLLECTION website is currently covered by this privacy notice. 

Security
Personal information provided on the website and online credit card transaction (PayPal) is transmitted through a secure server using Secure Socket Layering (SSL), encryption technology. When the letters "http" in the URL change to "https," the "s" indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL; also, your browser may give you a pop-up message that you're about to enter a secure area.

We are committed to handling your personal information with high standards of information security. We take appropriate physical, electronic and administrative steps to maintain the security and accuracy of personally identifiable information we collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as employing electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access. Our website uses encryption technology, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to protect your personal information during data transport. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address and credit card number on PayPal. Our website and customer service centre also operate over a private, secure network. Please note that e-mail is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.

Note: We do not have access to any of your credit card information. Your credit card information is stored at our partner service (PayPal) only. For further information, their privacy notice is here. <https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_privacy-outside

Online Security
We would like you to feel as comfortable ordering from TOKYO STREET COLLECTION as you would do if you purchased something from one of our collections. That's why for your utmost security, Paypal uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of potentially sensitive information to and from our site.

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), created by Netscape, is the standard for secure data transmission over the Internet. Web browsers such as Netscape's Navigator and Microsoft's Internet Explorer support SSL. When you are asked to fill in your credit card details on PayPal, your browser will switch to secure mode. To check if your browser is secure, look at the URL field at the top of your browser. You will see it begin with https: instead of the normal http: This means that you are in secure mode. You can also verify secure mode by the security icon at the bottom-right hand corner of your browser - usually a lock and key padlock or a solid gold key depending on your browser and version.

Sensitive data is also not held in clear text on any website or stored on any logs.

Privacy policy

As we continue to develop our website and take advantage of advances in technology to improve the services we offer, this privacy policy likely will change. We therefore encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy.

Cookies, Web Beacons, and how we use them
A "cookie" is a small data file stored by your web browser on your computer's hard drive. It allows us to recognize your computer (but not specifically who is using it) upon entering our site by associating the identification numbers in the cookie with other customer information you have provided us. That customer information is stored on our secured database. A "web beacon" or "pixel tag" or “clear gif” is typically a one-pixel image, used to pass information from your computer to a website. 

We use cookies and web beacons to keep track of what you have in your shopping cart and to remember you when you return to the Website as well as to identify the pages you click on during your visit to our site and the name of the website you visited immediately before clicking to TOKYO STREET COLLECTION.com. We use this information to improve our site design, product assortments, customer service, and special promotions. You can, of course, disable cookies and web beacons on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of our website will not operate correctly if you disable cookies.

Children's privacy
Protecting children's privacy is important to us. Our website is a general audience site. We do not collect or maintain information from those we actually know are under 13 years old, and no part of our website is targeted to attract anyone under 13. We also do not send email correspondence to anyone who tells us that they are under the age of 13 without their parent's consent.

Children under the age of 13 should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any personal information to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children's online activities and use parental control or other web filtering technology to supervise children's access to the web.
