Online
Privacy Statement
Panasonic Corporation of North America has created this online privacy
statement in order to disclose our information gathering and dissemination
practices for this site, www.panasonic.com.
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and
to administer our website. Your IP address identifies you and your shopping
cart, and allows us to gather broad demographic information on site visitors.
Parts of our sites use a browser feature called "cookies".
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard
drive when you visit them. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk
or read cookie files created by other sites. A cookie will not corrupt
your hard drive or transmit viruses to your computer.
Panasonic uses cookies to recognize visitors when they return to our
sites. Once we know it's you, we can customize your online visit. For
instance, when you are ready to purchase an item, a cookie allows our
site to "remember" you have added the item to your shopping
cart. We can also show you new products or services based on your preferences,
and alert you to new Web site features. We may also evaluate our content
and services and tailor our Web sites, for visitors, based on other information
we collect such as IP addresses, which are numbers assigned to your computer
whenever you use the Internet, pixel tags, and the type of Internet browser
or operating system you are using. This information is collected in the
aggregate, but we may tie it to your personal information through cookie
use as described above.
Our site may contain or may link to various other sites which ask to
collect user information voluntarily. Your information will be used by
us and may be shared with our partners for market research studies, reports,
and surveys as well as for marketing purposes. Users are always given
the choice to use the opt-in feature if you prefer to participate in these
opportunities (see below).
In particular, our company contracts with Coremetrics, a service partner,
to provide data collection and reports regarding our customers' activities
on our Web site. Coremetrics may use cookies on our behalf and may receive
information about your browsing and buying activity. Coremetrics may store
visitor ID, city, state, zip code, and email address on our behalf. Under
no circumstances may Coremetrics use your information other than in connection
with providing services to us to make our Web site more useful and efficient.
If you would like to opt-out of these particular services, please click here.
