Privacy Policy
Our Commitment to Privacy
Kamakura Foods Limited and / or its subsidiary and associated companies (the “WADA”) is committed to protecting your personal privacy.
We provide this notice to explain the type of information we collect on the websites of the WADA Group (including but not limited to wadabento.com, wadabentotech.com) (the "Websites") and how we use this information.
The Information WADA Collects
This Privacy Policy applies to all information submitted on the Websites. You may be asked to provide personal information when you participate in activities (if any) such as registering for a contest or sweepstakes, participating in a game or promotion, ordering a product, filling in a survey, or registering as a member. Your participation is voluntary and we will not require you to provide more information than is necessary to participate in the Websites’ activities. If you do not want your personal data collected, please do not submit to us.
In some instances, we may ask you questions on an aggregate basis (we do not identify you personally with the information) and such questions will be identified on the Websites. In all other instances, please understand that we may track any information you provide on a personally identifiable basis. The types of personal information collected on the Websites include your name, email address, date of birth, age, sex, address, education, occupation and personal interest.
Use of the Information
The Websites provide you with the opportunity to register on the site through the "Member Registration" page (Note: When you visit the Websites, it is possible that this “Member Registration” page has not yet been established or has already been removed; this Privacy Policy applies to any such page which is currently in place or will be established in the future). You also need to register in order to be eligible to participate in any of the WADA Group's online contests or sweepstakes (if any). We may use the information you provide for awarding prizes. Please note that if you do not provide the requisite personal information, you may not be able to enjoy or participate in the various products, services, competitions, lucky draws, games, promotions, surveys or other activities or obtain the most updated information provided or held by us.
We use return email addresses to answer the email that we receive, and we may use return email to send you other information.
When you register with the Websites, you can decide whether to receive information and updates on our products and services. Information will not be used for this purpose unless you request to receive communications from the WADA Group.
We use information that you provide to supply you with or hold various products, services, competitions, lucky draws, games, promotions, surveys or other activities and improve the Websites and our related marketing and product strategies. One method through which the Websites may collect aggregate information is the collection of IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers are the computers that "deliver" Web pages and automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you visit a page of the Websites, our servers log your IP address. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable; even though your computer will be identified, you will remain anonymous to the WADA Group. To the extent that such information may be shared with third parties, please review "Our Privacy Practices With Third Parties" below.
Further, you shall be aware that your personal data collected by the WADA Group from the Websites may be used and retained by us for the following purposes (if applicable):
- Processing of any payment instructions, if any;
- Enabling the daily operation of your account and/or the collection of amounts outstanding in your account in relation to the Relevant Products and Services;
- Contacting you with queries regarding your account; and
- Performing statistical analysis of all of our on-line customers as part of our continual internal review process and in a general way to learn more about the customers of our Relevant Products and Services.
Management / Deletion of personal data provided
The WADA Group gives users the following options for managing or removing their information from our database:
- Send us an email: Send an email to a cs@wadabento.com. Please quote your name, address and customer number and include your clear instructions on what you would like us to do.
- Send us mail: Send us your request via mail. Please quote your name, address and customer number and include your clear instructions on what you would like us to do. Send to: Data Protection Officer, Room 30, Smart Space, 6/F, Core C, Cyberport 3, 100 Cyberport Road, Pok Fu Lam, Hong Kong.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are files or pieces of information that may be stored in your computer's hard drive when you visit the Websites. We may use cookies to improve our site and conform our products to your interests and needs. Cookies may also help to speed up your activities or to improve your user experience by remembering the information which you have already provided to us. The use of cookies is a common practice in our industry and you will find them at most websites. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you wish, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent so that you can flush them from your browser if you object to their presence.
Our Privacy Practices with Third Parties
We may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information about our users with advertisers, business partners and affiliates / associated companies, sponsors, agents and other third parties. We do not provide any identifiable personal information to any third party other than a member company of the WADA Group for any purpose. For example, we may tell a business partner the number of men and the number of women that entered a contest, but we do not disclose any information to identify those individuals. Access by our employees and agents to your personal information is only on a need-to-know basis on the understanding that this is confidential business information.
Links to Other Sites
Users should be aware that when you are on the Websites you may be directed to other sites that are beyond our control or that take you outside our service. This may include links from advertisers, sponsors, and / or partners that may use the trademarks of the WADA Group. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, or otherwise collect data or solicit personal information. You should always be aware of your location on the Internet. Check the linked site to locate its Privacy Policy that may be different from our own. If any of the Websites links you to any third party's website, the WADA Group makes no representation as to the existence, sufficiency, accuracy or completeness of their Privacy Policy.
Our Commitment to Children's Privacy
The privacy of young children is of special concern to us. The WADA Group has no intention of collecting any personal data from individuals under the age of thirteen. Where necessary, the WADA Group will specifically instruct children not to submit such information on the Websites and/or will take reasonable steps to ensure that a parent or a guardian consents to such submission.
Parents should be aware that the WADA Group's Privacy Policy will govern our use of personal data, but that information which is voluntarily given by children - or others - in chat sessions, email exchanges or the like may be used by other parties to generate unsolicited mails. The WADA Group encourages all parents to provide proper guidance to their children on internet safety and the responsible use of their personal data while using the internet.
Changes In Our Policy
The WADA Group reserves the right to change or remove this Privacy Policy at our discretion. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy we will post those changes here. We encourage you to visit this area frequently to stay informed.

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The WADA Group undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
