1. OVERVIEW

This privacy policy (this “Policy”) applies to Japan Hospitality LLC, doing business as UKA Restaurant (“we,” “our,” or “us”) and our website at www.ukarestaurant.com.  We strive to deliver outstanding products and services and value our customers’ business and loyalty. We recognize that privacy is an important issue. We have developed this Policy to explain our practices regarding the personal information we collect from you or about you on this website, through written or verbal communications with us, when you dine at our restaurant, when you purchase our food and beverages, or communicate with us through social media. While this Policy broadly describes the practices we have adopted within the United States, local laws vary and some jurisdictions may place restrictions on our collection, use, or disclosure of personal information.  Our actual practices in such jurisdictions may be more limited than those described in this Policy to comply with local requirements. If you are a resident of California, please see Appendix A for information regarding your rights under California law.

By accessing or using our website, mobile applications (“apps”) if applicable, or submitting information to us, or otherwise agreeing to this Policy, you understand and consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described herein.

Please note that this Policy does not apply to our processing of personal information on behalf of and subject to the instructions of third parties.

7. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Third parties, including Google and Facebook, may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from our websites and elsewhere on the internet and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads. You can opt-out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting using the options described in the Opting Out section below. The tracking technologies we utilize include the following:

a. Cookies. We may use different types of cookies when providing different types of web-related services. If you do not know what cookies are, or how to control or delete them, then we recommend you visit www.aboutcookies.org for detailed guidance. Cookies allow us to identify and authenticate visitors, track aggregate behavior, and enable important service features. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. Session ID cookies are used to maintain your browser state as you browse through services, and they expire when you close your browser. A persistent Cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period, and we use that to identify you should you return to services and want to find information you had previously entered or accessed.

We may also contract with analytics services, third-party affiliate services, and third-party advertising companies to collect similar information. These cookies allow the ad servers to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement, and compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows such Ad Networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you.

You may disable cookies through your web browser. For information about opting out of these collection services, please see the Your Choices section below.

b. Web Beacons/Tags. We may automatically collect aggregate anonymous information through files embedded in our services and emails known as “web beacons.” We may deliver a web beacon to you through our services from an Advertising Network with which we have contracted. Web beacons allow third parties to provide anonymized and aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for us. Web beacons also allow us to tell whether email recipients are able to properly view messages or if email messages have been opened, to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to users. We do not tie the information gathered by web beacons to personal information.

c. Flash LSOs. When we post videos, third parties may use local shared objects, known as “Flash cookies,” to store your preferences for volume control or to personalize certain video features. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data and how the data is stored. The cookie management tools provided by many popular browsers will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage Flash cookie privacy and storage settings, click here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html.

d.  Analytics. We may use analytics tools or similar tools provided by third parties (“Data Analytics Providers”) to help analyze how you and other users utilize our services. Analytics tools use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information such as how often users visit our websites, what pages they visit, and what other websites they have used prior to visiting our website. We use the information we get from analytics tools only to improve services. Analytics tools collect the IP address or other unique identifier assigned to you on the date you visited services. We do not combine the information generated through the use of analytics tools with your other personal information. Analytics tools provided by third parties plant a persistent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our website, and the treatment of that information is governed by the third party’s terms of use and/or privacy policy.

8. OPTING OUT

a. Promotional and Other Emails. You may choose during the account registration processes on one of our websites, or otherwise, to provide us with your email address for the purpose of allowing us to send newsletters, surveys, offers, and other materials related to our services. You can stop receiving these emails by sending a request to the email address in the Contact Us section below. If you decide not to receive these emails, we may still send you communications related to your current or former membership.

b. Behavioral Advertising. Our services may use behavioral advertising. This means that a third party may use technology (e.g., a cookie) to collect information about your use of our websites so that they can provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests. That advertising may appear either on our website, or on other websites not operated by us. If you do not want third parties to collect information about your use of our services, you can opt-out of such at the Digital Advertising Alliance in the US, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada in Canada, or the European Digital Advertising Alliance in Europe.

PLEASE NOTE THAT OPTING-OUT OF BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ADVERTISING WHILE USING SERVICES. IT WILL, HOWEVER, EXCLUDE YOU FROM INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING CONDUCTED THROUGH PARTICIPATING NETWORKS, AS PROVIDED BY THEIR POLICIES AND CHOICE MECHANISMS.

c. Analytics. Many analytics providers allow end-users to opt out of the retention of their information, including our third-party analytics providers. Please note that typically, unless you create an account with the analytics provider, your choice to opt out applies only to the device from which you make the request, because the providers use cookies on that device to recognize your choice. If you get a new device, install a new web browser, update your browser, or otherwise erase/alter your browser cookie files you may clear the opt-out cookie.

You may learn more about the use of information by and opting-out of analytics from our third-party provider by visiting its opt-out page at the following links:

By submitting your personal information, you agree to this transfer, storage and/or processing, including all associated risks.

10. INFORMATION SECURITY

No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
