By submitting data on this website, a visitor provides their explicit consent to the use of the data in accordance with this privacy statement, including the transborder transmission of data collected on the website for the fulfilment of their voluntary requests.
Data collection
We collect only personally identifiable information that is specifically and voluntarily provided by visitors to this website. Pachi.com receives limited identifiable information, such as name and email address from website visitors. Typically, identifying information is collected to:
- Distribute Commercial information.
It is Pachi's policy to limit the information collected to only the minimum information required to complete a visitor's request. In any instance where non-mandatory information is sought, the website visitor will be notified of this at the point of collection.
Although most publications are provided as downloads, visitors may also have the opportunity to purchase Pachi publications online. We will collect order information and a customer's credit card information, where applicable, in order to facilitate shipment and payment for the publication.
If you do wish to provide sensitive information for any reason, Pachi accepts your explicit consent to use that information in the ways described in this privacy statement or as described at the point where you choose to disclose this information.
Use of data
A user may choose to provide personal information in the following examples:
- Order publications
- Participate in "join our mailing list" initiatives
- Contact us for further information
If you would like to find out more about the different categories of information collected, please review the data collection section.
When a visitor provides personal information to us, we use it in connection with the purposes for which it was provided to us, as stated at the point of collection (or as obvious from the context of collection). This data is not shared with other entities in the network for secondary or unrelated purposes, or shared with a third party other than as described in this statement or otherwise disclosed at the point of collection. If there is an instance where such information may be shared, the visitor will be asked for permission beforehand.
Pachi makes every practical effort to avoid excessive or irrelevant collection of data. If a visitor believes the site has collected excessive information, we encourage the visitor to contact us to raise any concerns.
Except for the mailing list initiative described above, where visitors explicitly choose to receive specific Pachi marketing or other materials, Pachi will not use personal data collected from our websites to facilitate unsolicited marketing activities.
Data retention
Some of the information we receive is not retained. For example, we usually do not keep mailing addresses for white papers. Contact information about visitors (such as information generated though registration for access to areas on the site) will be kept as long as the information is required to completely service the contact request or until a user requests that we delete that information. Mailing list information, discussion posts and email are kept for only the period of time considered reasonable to facilitate the visitor's requests.
Security
Pachi has implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. Pachi's policy is to use secure socket layer technology for the protection of information submitted through web forms.
Children
Pachi understands the importance of protecting children's privacy especially in an online environment. This website is not intentionally designed for or directed at children 13 years of age or younger. It is Pachi's policy never to knowingly collect or maintain information about anyone under the age of 13.
Modifications
Pachi reserves the right to modify or amend this Statement at any time by publishing an updated version here. The current version of the statement will be accessible on this website.
