Privacy Policy

Effective Date: [Insert Date, e.g., January 1, 2024]

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from ANIME-KATANA.COM (the “Site”). At Anime-Katana, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure shopping experience for all sword collectors and enthusiasts.

1. Personal Information We Collect

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 that are installed on your device.

Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms 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: Data files placed on your device that often include an anonymous unique identifier. To learn more or disable cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

  • Log Files: These track actions occurring on the Site and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, and date/time stamps.

  • Web Beacons, Tags, and Pixels: Electronic files used to record information about how you navigate the Site.

Order Information:
When you make a purchase or attempt to purchase through the Site, we collect specific information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number.

Currency Conversion:
By using our website, you (the visitor) agree to allow third parties to process your IP address to determine your location for currency conversion purposes. You also agree to have that currency stored in a session cookie in your browser (a temporary cookie which gets automatically removed when you close your browser). We do this so that the prices remain consistent in your local currency while browsing.

In this policy, “Personal Information” refers to both Device Information and Order Information.

2. How Do We Use Your Personal Information?

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing payment, arranging shipping, and providing invoices/order confirmations). Additionally, we use this information to:

  • Communicate with you regarding your order;

  • Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and

  • Provide you with information or advertising relating to our anime-inspired products, provided this aligns with the preferences you have shared with us.

We use the Device Information to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (specifically your IP address) and to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site).

3. Sharing Your Personal Information

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information as described above.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, or to otherwise protect our rights.

4. Behavioral Advertising

We use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page.

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. To exercise this right, please contact us through the information below.
