Clear GIFs, Cookies and IP Addresses

Clear GIFs, sometimes called "web bugs" or “pixel tags,” are file objects, usually a graphic image such as a transparent one pixel-by-one pixel GIF (Graphics Interchange Format, one of the two most common file formats for images on the Web), that are placed on a Web page or in an e-mail message to monitor user behavior. The GIF tells us the IP address of the computer that fetched our page, the URL of the page the GIF is on, the time the page was viewed, the type of browser used, and it can also identify a previously set cookie value. This anonymous information is returned by the clear GIF to the Kodenkan Yudanshakai and we may use this information to accurately count visitors across our web sites and understand how they navigate and use our network of web sites. The Kodenkan Yudanshakai does not combine information gathered through clear GIFs with your personal information.

 

The Kodenkan Yudanshakai reserves the right to use "cookies" to enhance your experience at our web site. Cookies are pieces of information that we place on your computer to help us accurately understand how many visitors are viewing a particular site, how often they visit that site, and the content viewed. For example, a cookie will allow us to remember certain things based on your Internet Protocol or "IP" address (an IP address is the string of numbers that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent across the Internet), such as the time and duration of your visit, how you navigated through our content, and where you exited a particular site.

 

The Kodenkan Yudanshakai reserves the right to collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, troubleshooting, and to audit the use of our web site. When visitors request pages on our web site, our servers may log the visitor's IP address. We do not link the IP address to your personally identifiable information. This ensures that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us.

 

Log Files

Other information passively collected by the Kodenkan Yudanshakai is in the form of logs -- files that record web site activity and gather statistics about web user browsing habits. These entries are generated anonymously, and help the Kodenkan Yudanshakai determine, among other things, how many and how often users have visited our web site, the pages visited, and other similar data. We also use the log file entries for our internal marketing and demographic studies, so we can constantly improve the on-line services we provide you.

 

Safeguarding Information

The Kodenkan Yudanshakai only collects information to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to serve our legitimate business purposes. In addition, we will take appropriate steps to ensure the security and integrity of any information you provide to us. Any information provided to us is stored in an access controlled data center. Your information is protected by security protection mechanisms that may include firewalls, intrusion detection, anti-virus, and passwords.

 

Update and Removal of Information

Once registered with us, you may at any time review and/or update the contact information we have for you or inform us that you want us to remove your information from our database. Simply contact us to change, update, or have us remove your information. If your request is sent via e-mail, please include in your message the service or communication you received.

 

Privacy Rights

Civil codes may permit residents to request information regarding the disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. At this time we do not share your information with unaffiliated third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

The Kodenkan Yudanshakai provides business to consumer services. However, all areas of this site are available to the general public, including those under the age of 13. Those under the age of 13 should seek your parent or guardian's consent before you provide any personal information such as name or e-mail address to us.

 

The Kodenkan Yudanshakai has developed its web site to be an enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages.
