HTML email web beacons
Our emails may contain a single, campaign-unique “web beacon pixel” to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links within the email. We may use this information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to You, to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them. The pixel will be deleted when You delete the email. If You do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to Your device, You should select to receive emails from RONJIRU JAPAN in plain text rather than HTML.
Use of IP Addresses and Weblogs
RONJIRU JAPAN may also use Your IP address and browser type to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Website and to improve the service we offer to You. An IP address is a numeric code that identifies Your computer on the internet. Your IP address might also be used to gather broad demographic information.
We may perform IP lookups to determine which domain You are coming from (e.g. google.com) to more accurately gauge our users’ demographics.
