In addition to the information you may voluntarily provide, Canon U.S.A. may collect information automatically when you access or use the Services or a website “powered by” another company on behalf of Canon U.S.A. through our use of data collection technologies, including web beacons, cookies, pixels, and embedded web links. Canon U.S.A. may also use some of these technologies in connection with emails and communications sent from Canon U.S.A. and therefore may collect information using these tools when you open the email or click on a link contained in the email.

We collect the following categories of personal information automatically:

We may use cookies or pixels to:

  • Collect and store certain information about you;

  • Enable your sign-in;
  • Provide personalized product suggestions:
  • Maintain and improve our website;
  • Generate analytics regarding the performance of the Services;

  • Change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it;
  • Disable existing cookies; or
  • Set your browser to automatically reject cookies.

Please be aware that if you disable or reject cookies, some features and services offered or present on the Services may be slower or may not work or display properly.

How We Use Targeted Advertising Cookies

In addition to the purpose listed above, we also use cookies to help us deliver ads that are targeted to you based on information collected on our Services, as well as third party services. You may choose to opt out of receiving targeted advertising (also known as “sharing” or “cross context behavioral advertising”). There are several ways for you to opt out:

  • Some of the companies that perform targeted advertising on our behalf may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding interest-based advertising online, see https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN.
  • Some of the companies that perform targeted advertising on our behalf may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and opt out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
  • You can visit the Canon U.S.A. cookie preference center by clicking on the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of Canon U.S.A. website. In the cookie preferences, you can toggle off the “Advertising Cookie” option. Since these activities are based on cookies, your opt out choice is specific to the website, device, and/or browser you are using when you make the request. If you access other Canon-owned websites, you may need to make your election for each site.
  • If your browser recognizes universal opt out signals, such as Global Privacy Control, you may also choose to enable that feature which will automatically communicate your opt out preferences on participating sites.

Opting out of targeted advertising does not mean that you will no longer receive ads, but that the ads you see will no longer be targeted to your preferences. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt out pages, or you subsequently delete your cookie preferences, or use a different device or browser, your browser-based opt outs may no longer be effective and you may need to opt out again.

How We Use Information Collected from Other Technologies
 

We may use standard internet technology, such as web beacons (also called clear GIFs or pixel tags) and other similar technologies, to track your use of our Services. We also may include web beacons in email messages, newsletters, and advertisements to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. The information we obtain in this manner enables us to customize the Services we offer and measure the overall effectiveness of our online content and the products and services we offer through the Services.

How We Use Analytics Services
 

We use web analytics tools such as Google Analytics to assist us in understanding how people use the Services and related marketing and promotions. Google Analytics is not used for interest-based marketing. To manage your preferences with respect to Google Analytics click here. You can opt out of data collection or use by Google Analytics by clicking the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout (requires you to install a browser add-on).

For California residents only
 

If you are a California resident and a job applicant, former employee, or B2B customer of a website that links to this Privacy Statement, we may also store, analyze, combine, and otherwise use the information we collect, either directly or indirectly, to:

  • Provide you with information about jobs, or any other offers that may be of interest to you, unless you opt out or request not to receive this information;
  • Communicate with you about your application status and future opportunities with Canon, if applicable;

We may use financial information or payment method information to process payment for any purchases or sales made through the Services, to protect against or identify possible fraudulent transactions, and otherwise as needed to manage our business. If you are a California resident and a former employee, we may use financial information to manage benefits and employment-related administrative services.

Affiliates
 

We are part of the Canon Group and may disclose your information to our affiliates which may be located outside of the country you reside and are located in, including, but not limited to, our parent company Canon Inc., located in Japan. When you provide information via the Services, we may also disclose your information to our affiliates to enable them to improve and develop products and services, and inform you of jobs, products, promotions, or other offers that may be of interest to you.
 

Service Providers
 

Canon U.S.A. retains service providers to manage or support its business operations, provide professional services, deliver products, services, and customer solutions and to assist with marketing and communication initiatives. These service providers include, for example, hosting and IT providers, website management and support providers, email providers, automated data processors, credit card processors, shipping agents, marketing partners, communications providers, and companies that provide order fulfillment, delivery, customer support, live-help, talent acquisition, employment management, payroll, health and welfare benefit, and security services. We may disclose your information to these service providers to enable them to provide you services on our behalf, and for the purpose of conducting general business analysis. We expect our service providers to use your information only to perform the service for which they are engaged, while also complying with all applicable laws, and pursuant to our instructions.
 

Other Companies
 

In addition, if you inquire about products, services, software, or other goods that Canon U.S.A. does not sell directly, we may forward your information to a Canon U.S.A. dealer, distributor, partner, or other reseller, and they may reach out to you about your needs. You expressly consent to your information being used as set forth in this section.
 

From time to time, Canon U.S.A. participates in initiatives, which include websites “powered by” another company on behalf of Canon U.S.A. As part of these initiatives, certain Canon U.S.A. services and communications may be delivered at the same time as those from other companies. Some of these services and communications offer you the option to disclose personal information to both Canon U.S.A. and the other companies participating in these initiatives. If you choose to provide personal information to the other companies with different privacy policies and practices, that personal information will be handled according to the respective privacy policies and practices of those companies, which may differ from Canon U.S.A.’s policies and practices.
 

Government Entities
 

Canon U.S.A. may disclose your personal information to government entities in order to comply with mandatory reporting.
 

Law Enforcement/Legal Proceedings
 

We may also disclose your personal information:

  • In response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from law enforcement or other government agency;
  • To establish or exercise our legal rights, to defend against legal claims, or as otherwise required by law (In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.);
  • When we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing;
  • To protect and defend the rights, property or safety of Canon, our company, our users, our employees, or others, to comply with applicable law, to address security or technical issues, or to enforce our website Terms of Use or other agreements or policies; and
  • In connection with a corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

Canon U.S.A.’s Services are not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we discover that we inadvertently collected personal information from anyone under 18, we will make reasonable efforts to delete it.

If you no longer wish to receive communications, including marketing communications, from Canon U.S.A., you can either click unsubscribe in the email that you receive from us or log into your account, if you have one, and change your preferences.
 

Please note that where you unsubscribe from our marketing communications, we will keep a record of your communication information (including email address) to ensure we do not market to you in the future. We may also send you other types of transactional and relationship email communications, such as service announcements and administrative notices without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.
