1. What we collect and why

When you visit our web site, we record certain details about your visit, such as your domain name and / or IP address, the pages you view and the address of any web site that may have lead you to www.kikkoman.co.uk.

This database, along with one or more backup copies, is stored on computers that will be physically located either within the European Union or in the United States of America. Unless you tell us when you complete the form that you don't wish us to contact you in future, we may use this data to inform you about updates to our web site or product range from time to time. If you believe your name and/or e-mail address to be stored in our database and would like the record deleted, please contact us.
