Marketo

This website uses marketing automation technology (Marketo) to collect data on visitor behavior. The data is collected for use in marketing and optimization. Some visitor data is saved using an anonymous user ID and can be used to aggregate a usage profile. Cookies may be used for this purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the visitor’s local browser cache. It is possible to use these cookies to recognize a visitor’s browser.

The data collected by the marketing automation technology will not be used to determine the personal identity of a website visitor and will not be compiled with personal data relating to the person referred to by the IP address, unless the visitor opts in by completing a form, provided by Marketo, or clicking a link in an email, thereby agreeing. Once the visitor opts in by providing their name, email address or other information, the IP address and the history associated with it is matched with the new information to create their profile. This information is transferred to Japan, shared and used only by SCREEN Graphic and Precision Solutions Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries to provide specific marketing information to the visitor. We also share this information with Marketo, where the information is stored. The collection and storage of data may be revoked at any time with respect to future services by blocking Marketo’s cookies in your browser settings.
