Yakult UK Limited (in UK and ROI) is sensitive to privacy issues surrounding use of customer information. Protection of privacy is extremely important to us, however, please remember that the security of information transmitted over the Internet cannot be guaranteed.

In general, Yakult does not collect, store, use or disclose personally identifying information except in very specific instances. Whenever we collect such information, you will have a choice regarding whether to provide it, how it will be used, and to whom it will be disclosed. The instances in which Yakult does collect and use information are specifically described in this Privacy Policy

What does this Privacy Policy cover?

This Privacy Policy applies to collection, use, storage and
disclosure of information by Yakult. If there are any exceptions, we will clearly disclose them prior to collecting any information, and will give you an opportunity to choose not to participate or provide the information. By using our Web site, you consent to the collection and use of your information as we outline in this Privacy Policy.

What information does Yakult collect and how is it used? Does Yakult disclose information to third parties?

Yakult may collect any or all of the following types of information: (a) cookies, (b) contact information and other personally identifying information. Yakult's collection and use of each type of data is described below.

(a) Cookies. Like many sites, Yakult collects information about online behaviour using cookies. These cookies contain identification information that enables us to see how our users are interacting with our site and how frequently they are returning, as well as to streamline their
experiences of the Web site. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information. Cookies let us know about repeat visitors and if we are delivering quality Products and Services. Yakult may also use cookies to identify which sites our repeat visitors are coming from, so that we can place more of our online advertising on these sites, and can, where necessary, pay our affiliates and other business partners. To Yakult, using information
within cookies is an anonymous way to survey how we are doing and to look for ways to improve our Services. You may set your browser software to reject cookies, but you may not be able to use all of the features of the Services. Yakult may share information about usage of the Services with third parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous form. In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique
"cookie" on your browser.

(b) Contact Information or Personally Identifying Information. Yakult can obtain access to your name, e-mail address and other contact information only (1) when you submit a request for information from Yakult and provide your name or return contact information, or (2) in connection with special offers or contests (such as promotions and competitions). Information will be collected in accordance with the Data Protection Act and under the guidance of the Data Protection Agency. Yakult may store your contact information in order to use for special
promotions or information offered by Yakult. Users may opt-out of receiving such communications at any time by using the unsubscribe function in the communications from
Yakult.

Is data stored by Yakult secure?

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, Yakult has put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information it collects online. However, data security is a constantly evolving art and science. You should consider any communication that you transmit to Yakult (such as data, questions or answers, comments, or suggestions) as
non-confidential, and agree that Yakult will not be liable or responsible if information that belongs to you is intercepted and used by an unintended recipient.

How can I access or correct any personally identifying information about me?

To request a copy of the personally identifiable information you have sent to Yakult, please send an e-mail
containing your request to info@yakult.co.uk (UK) info@yakult.ie (ROI). You must provide your full name and the e-mail from which the request is received (and to which the response will be sent) must match the e-mail on file with Yakult. You may then correct or delete such information using the procedures specified in the e-mail.
