Privacy Policy of Katana US
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit (the "Site") or make a purchase there.
COLLECTED PERSONAL INFORMATION
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. Additionally, when you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products you view, the websites or search terms that referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as "Device Information."
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
COOKIES
Here is a list of cookies we use. We have listed them here so that you can choose whether to allow them or not:
_session_id, unique session identifier, allows Shopify to store information about your session (referrer, landing page, etc.).
_shopify_visit, no data held, persists for 30 minutes from the last visit. Used by our website provider's internal stats tracker to record the number of visits.
_shopify_uniq, no data held, expires at midnight (visitor's time) the next day. Calculates the number of visits to a store by a single customer.
cart, unique identifier, persists for 2 weeks, stores information about your shopping cart.
_secure_session_id, unique session identifier.
storefront_digest, unique identifier, indefinite if the store has a password, used to determine if the current visitor has access.
- "Log files" track Site activity and gather data such as your IP address, the type of browser you use, your Internet service provider, your landing and exit pages, and your timestamp data (date and time).
- "Web beacons," "tags," and "pixels" are electronic files that record information about how you browse the Site.
Furthermore, when you make or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information about you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers or other payment methods), email address, and phone number. This automatically collected information is referred to as "Order Information."
When we use the term "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to both Device Information and Order Information.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Generally, we use the Order Information we collect to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Assess potential fraud or risks; and
- Provide you with information or advertisements regarding our products or services when it corresponds to the preferences you have communicated to us.
We use the Device Information (particularly your IP address) we collect to assess potential fraud or risks and, more generally, to improve and optimize our Site (e.g., by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and assessing the success of our advertising and marketing campaigns).
