Accuracy of Information and Third Party Consent

Please ensure that all Personal Data submitted to us is complete, accurate, true, and correct. Failure on your part to do so may result in our inability to provide you with the products and services that you have requested.

Further, when you provide us with any Personal Data relating to a third party (including your spouse, children, parents, and/or employees), you represent and warrant to us that you have obtained the explicit consent of the third party to provide us with their Personal Data for the relevant purposes.

Mizuno Malaysia obtains consent through explicit user action, such as checking consent boxes when signing up, transacting, or participating in surveys or communications. Users are informed of the purposes for which data is collected at the point of collection. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting the Data Protection Officer at dpo-mizunomy@histellar.com. Upon receipt of your request, we will cease to process your Personal Data within a reasonable time, subject to any legal or contractual restrictions.

Purpose Limitation and Notification

We collect Personal Data only for specified purposes, including order processing, account management, customer support, and marketing (where consent is given). Users are informed of the specific purpose at the point where data is collected. We will not process your Personal Data for any purpose that is unlawful or unrelated to our functions and activities.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

If you visit our Site to browse, we will only collect and store the domain name and host from which a user accessed the Internet, the IP address of the user’s computer, the user’s browser software and operating system, the date and time the user accesses the Site and the Internet address of any Web site from which the user linked directly to our Site or to which the user links after visiting our Site.

We use this information to measure the number of visitors to sections of our sites, to determine from where our visitors linked and to where our visitors link from the sites and to help us make our sites more useful. For example, we organise and analyse IP addresses so that we can provide efficient service, enhance security, monitor appropriate usage and produce traffic volume statistics.

This type of information is sometimes shared with third parties, such as when we aggregate and disclose site traffic information for marketing and commercial purposes. When we share such information with third parties, we will require them to abide by the standards of the Mizuno Malaysia Privacy Policy.

Mizuno Malaysia is the sole owner of the information collected on this Site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways different from that disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

If you complete your registration at our Site, you can communicate and deal with Mizuno Malaysia through our Site. If you communicate with us, we collect and store the Personal Data you provide through this process.

Cross-Border Transfers

Third Parties

The Mizuno Malaysia Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of User Information collected by Mizuno Malaysia. If you disclose information to other parties, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of such information regardless of their affiliation or relationship with Mizuno Malaysia.

When you link to another Web site, you are subject to the privacy policy of that Web site. We encourage you to ask questions and review the applicable privacy policy before you disclose your personal information to third parties.

We do not try to control, and disclaim responsibility for, information provided by other users or third parties that is made available through our Site.
