of information discussed in the Mizuno Europe Privacy Policy, including the
Internet Protocol (IP) address of a user's computer.
"Aggregate" This term is used when we combine information from various persons

Information We Collect and How We Use It
If you visit our site to browse. We will only collect and store the domain name
and host from which a user accessed the Internet (e.g., aol.com), the IP
address of the user's computer, the user's browser software and operating
system, the date and time the user accesses the site and the Internet address
of any Web site from which the user linked directly to our site or to which the
user links after visiting our site. We use this information to measure the
number of visitors to sections of our sites, to determine from where our
visitors linked and to where our visitors link from the sites and to help us
make our sites more useful. For example, we organize and analyze IP addresses
so that we can provide efficient service, enhance security, monitor appropriate
usage and produce traffic volume statistics. This type of information is
sometimes shared with third parties, such as when we aggregate and disclose
site traffic information for marketing and commercial purposes. When we share
such information with third parties we will require them to abide by the
standards of the Mizuno Europe Privacy Policy. Mizuno Europe is the sole owner
of the information collected on this Site. We will not sell, share or rent this
information to others in ways different from that disclosed in this Privacy
Policy.
If you register, send us a communication or engage in a transaction while at
our Site. If you communicate with us, we collect and store the Personally
Identifiable Information you provide through this process, including if
applicable, your user ID and password, which we may elect to provide for you.
If you engage in a transaction while logged on to our Site, then we collect and
store information about the transaction. If you send us communications, then we
may collect such communications in a file specific to you.
We use the information we collect from you as a registered user to build
features that we hope will make the Services more attractive and easier for you
to use. This may include better customer support and timely notice of new
services. We may share User Information with our partners, affiliates and joint
venturers that are committed to serving your need for the Services and
improving your user experience, but will require such third parties to abide by
the standards of the Mizuno Europe Privacy Policy. Where required, we may
transfer data to recipients outside the EEA, and in such event we will take
precautions to ensure that data is stored in line with EC and UK Data
Protection laws. We may also share aggregate anonymized data relating to
activity on the Site and use of the Services, such as demographical and
statistical information, for marketing, research and other purposes.
Furthermore, we may need to disclose User Information to law enforcement or
other government officials if appropriate for your protection or in connection
with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement or other
activity that is illegal or may expose us or our users to legal liability. From
time to time, our Site requests information from users via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user
therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and address) and
demographic information (such as post code, age). Contact information will be
used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used
for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this Site.
