KOSÉ Singapore ("KOSÉ SG") has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy. This policy sets forth our information collection and use practices only for the website located at www.kose.com.sg / www.kose-sg.com (the "Web Site") and does not apply to any other KOSÉ website or services.

INFORMATION KOSÉ SG COLLECTS
1. Personal Information
 
When using the Site, we may ask you to provide us with certain personal information ("PI"), which is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally. For example, we may seek PI when you choose to participate in any online contest or promotions, or in the events of signing up for online newsletters. PI can include your name, contact number, address, e-mail address, date of birth, or identification number. We may also ask you to create a screen name and/or a password, where applicable, and provide us with demographic information (such as information about your age or gender), information regarding your interests, or similar information.

PI will only be collected when it is voluntarily provided to KOSÉ SG. You can always choose not to provide certain information, unless otherwise stated mandatory to complete certain activities such as registration to participate in an online contest or promotion.
   
2. Non-personally Identifiable Information.
 
As is true with most websites, we may also collect from you non-personally identifiable information, such as an IP host address, the pages viewed, the browser type, the Web Site usage, and other data which do not identify any individual.

There are also times when we may make certain PI available to companies that have a strategic relationship with or perform services to you on our behalf. For instance, such companies may help us process information, manage our data or provide customer service.
