We use various technologies to automatically collect information when you use the Sites and certain other Services (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”), including the following:

5. Log Files, which are files that record events that occur in connection with your use of the Service.
6. Cookies, which are small data files stored on your device that act as a unique tag to identify your browser. We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate our Sites and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain following a Site visit and, among other things, help with personalizing your experience, remembering your preferences, and supporting security features. Additionally, persistent cookies allow us to bring you advertising both on and off the Service. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time and generally may be controlled through your browser settings. To learn more about how we use cookies and how to set cookie preferences, please refer to our Consent Manager.
7. Pixels (also known as web beacons or clear gifs), which are code embedded in a website, video, email, or advertisement that sends information about your use of the Service to a server. When you access a website, video, email, or advertisement that contains a pixel, the pixel may permit us, or a separate entity, to drop or read cookies on your browser. Pixels are used in combination with cookies to track activity by a particular browser on a particular device. We may incorporate pixels from separate entities that allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising both on and off the Service, and provide you with additional functionality, such as the ability to connect our Service with your social media account.
8. Location-Identifying Technologies, which are technologies used to collect your imprecise location. Location data may be used, as appropriate, for purposes such as verifying your device’s location and delivering or restricting relevant content and advertising based on that location.

Epson uses these technologies to give you the best experience when you visit our Sites, to analyze traffic, and to personalize content. We may share information about your use of our Sites with our social media, advertising and analytics partners. For further information on how we use tracking technologies for analytics and advertising, and your rights and choices regarding them, see the “Tracking Technology and Your Choices” and “Your U.S. State Privacy Notice and Rights” sections below.

In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, when you provide your Personal Information to us, you consent to the transfer, storage and processing of your Personal Information to our Affiliates for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
4. Customers. We may disclose information with our business customers in connection with us processing information on their behalf, subject to our obligations to them and under applicable law. For example, we disclose information with our business customers in order to facilitate your orders, maintain and administer your online accounts, respond to your questions and comments, comply with your requests, market and advertise to you, and otherwise comply with applicable law. This may be in the context of acting as their service provider and we are not responsible for their data collection, practices or policies.
5. Co-Promotional Partners.

7. Public Forums.

E. Social Media and Technology Integration

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or mobile apps, or other services, that are not operated or controlled by Epson, including plugins from social media platforms and other Third Parties (“Third-Part Services”). Some examples of links to a third-party website include those websites operated by our vendors, Service Providers, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors, and other Third Parties. Examples of social media plugins are the Facebook “Like” button and the option to “share” the website through your email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube (“Social Features”). The inclusion of these Social Features on the Service does not imply any endorsement of the activities or content of the related websites, apps, or social media platforms, nor any association with their operators. To learn about the information collected by the Third-Party Services, including what information they collect from you, information they may disclose to us, your rights and choices on their services, and whether they store information in the U.S. or elsewhere, please carefully review their respective privacy policies. Some examples include:

• Links. Our Service may include links to websites, platforms, and other services not operated or controlled by us. We may disclose or receive your Personal Information when you interact with such websites, platforms, and other services.
• Liking, Sharing, and Logging In. We may embed a pixel or SDK (Software Development Kit) on our Service that allows you to “like” or “share” content on, or log in to your account through social media. If you choose to engage with such integration, we may receive information from the social network that you have authorized to disclose to us. Please note that the social network may also independently collect information about you through the integration.

Please note that when you interact with other entities, including when you leave our Service or interact with third-party integrations with our Service, those entities may independently collect information about you and solicit information from you. The information collected and stored by those entities remains subject to their own policies and practices, including what information they disclose to us, your rights and choices on their services and devices, and whether they store information in the U.S. or elsewhere. We are not responsible for other entities’ data and other practices and encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use.

F. Network Advertising and Retargeting

Epson participates in online advertising networks and exchanges that display relevant advertisements to site visitors, including based on their interests as reflected in their browsing of the Sites and certain third-party sites and other data, including but not limited to networks and exchanges operated by Yahoo, Microsoft/Bing, Facebook/Meta, and Google. These companies may use Tracking Technologies to passively collect information from you which may be used to tailor the advertising you see on the Sites or elsewhere on the web. This means that some information about your browsing of the Service and certain third-party sites may be disclosed to these companies for the purpose of delivering ads to you on the Service and certain third-party sites, and Epson may receive from some of these companies information about third-party sites that you have visited. This information is used for marketing purposes and the practice is sometimes termed “interest-based advertising” or "retargeting."

You can also learn more about opting out of network advertising retargeting under the “Tracking Technology and Your Choices” section below. In addition, you can exercise cookie preferences by visiting our Consent Manager. Residents of certain U.S. states have further rights explained here.

G. Your Communication Preferences, Rights and Choices

Account Information

You may access, update, or remove certain information that you have provided to us through your account by visiting your account settings. Please note that we will retain and use information about you as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements and for other business purposes such as record keeping.

Communications

Epson provides several means for you to opt out of receiving commercial e-mails from Epson. If you do not wish to receive e-mail notices promoting our products or services, you may opt out at the time you provide your Personal Information to us. You may also opt out through any commercial e-mail you receive from Epson by selecting the "unsubscribe" or similar option included with each e-mail. To opt out of direct mailings, we will provide you with a postage paid opt-out card with any promotional offers we mail to you. Please note that your opt-out is limited to the email address used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions or non-promotional e-mails (e.g., safety notices, responses to your inquiries, etc.).

Tracking Technology and Your Choices

As explained in this Privacy Policy, Epson uses Tracking Technologies to gather information when you interact with us via our Sites, our mobile apps, and email communications. Some Tracking Technologies are necessary to help us maintain the security of our Sites and your Epson account, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic Site functions. To the extent the use of these Tracking Technologies is deemed to be a “sale” / “sharing” under applicable U.S. state laws, you may opt-out of these Tracking Technologies via our Cookie Settings or by contacting Epson.

• Tracking Technologies. Some browsers and devices accept Tracking Technologies by default. Certain Tracking Technologies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you may need to set them separately on each browser and device you use. Please be aware that if you disable or remove these technologies, some parts of the Service may not work and that when you revisit the Service your ability to limit browser-based Tracking Technologies is subject to your browser settings and limitations. In addition, you can exercise cookie preferences by visiting our Consent Manager. Residents of certain U.S. states have further rights explained here.
• Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
• App and Location Technologies. You can stop all collection of information via an app by uninstalling the app. You can also reset your device Ad Id at any time through your device settings, which is designed to allow you to limit the use of information collected about you.

Please be aware that if you disable or remove Tracking Technologies some parts of the Service may not function correctly.

We may also use Microsoft Advertising Services and/or Google Ad Services. Google provides tools to allow you to opt out of the use of certain information collected by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and by Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. To learn more about the data Microsoft collects and how your data is used by it and to opt out of certain Microsoft browser Interest-based Advertising, please visit https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement.

In addition, most of the companies we work with to provide you with targeted ads are participants of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the targeted ads provided by these companies, and how to opt out of receiving certain targeted ads from them, please visit:

1. For website targeted ads from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/choices;
2. For app targeted ads from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/appchoices;
3. For targeted ads from NAI participants, https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Opting out only means that the selected participants should no longer deliver certain targeted ads to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., in connection with the participants’ other customers or from other technology services).

You may also limit our use of information collected from or about your mobile device for purposes of serving targeted ads to you by going to your device settings and selecting “Limit Ad Tracking” (for iOS devices) or “Opt-out of Interest-Based Ads” (for Android devices).

In addition, we may serve ads on other online services that are targeted to reach people on those services that are also identified on one or more of our databases (“Matched List Ads”). This is done by using Tracking Technologies or by matching common factors between our databases and the databases of the other online services. For instance, we may use such ad services offered by Facebook/Instagram/Meta or X (formerly,Twitter) and other Third-Party Services. We are not responsible for these Third-Party Services, including without limitation the security of the data. If we use Facebook to serve Matched List Ads on Facebook services, you should be able to hover over the box in the right corner of such a Facebook ad, or go to your account settings, and find out what options Facebook offers you to control such ads. If we use X Matched List Ads, you should be able to review your ad options in account settings on X. We are not responsible for such Third Parties’ failure to comply with your or our opt-out instructions. They may not give us notice of opt-outs that you give directly to them related to our ads; and they may change their options without notice to us or you.

Please note that if you opt out using any of these methods, the opt out will only apply to the specific browser or device from which you opt out, so you will need to opt-out on each browser and device you use. Also, if you clear or block cookies you may lose you opt-out settings. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any opt-out options or programs, or the accuracy of any other entities’ statements regarding their opt out options or programs.

H. Sweepstakes, Contests and Promotions

If you choose to enter a Promotion, your Personal Information may be disclosed to Third Parties or the public in connection with the administration of such Promotion, including, without limitation, in connection with winner selection, prize fulfillment, and as required by law or permitted by the Promotion's official rules, such as on a winners list.

I. Children's Privacy Protection

Epson is aware of the heightened need to protect the privacy of children under the age of 13. The Service is not intended for children and is not targeted to children under the age of 13. Epson does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children (as defined by the U.S. Children’s Privacy Protection Act, or “COPPA”).

We will delete the Personal Information to the extent required by applicable laws. We do not knowingly “sell,” as that term is defined under the CCPA, the Personal Information of minors under 16 years old who are California residents.

If you are a California resident under 18 years old and registered to use the Service, you can ask us to remove any content or information you have posted on the Service. To make a request, email us at contentremoval@ea.epson.com with “California Under 18 Content Removal Request” in the subject line, and tell us what you want removed. We will make reasonable, good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view, although we cannot ensure the complete or comprehensive removal of the content and may retain the content as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

J. The Epson Store

The Epson Store is a section of our Site that allows you to purchase Epson products online. The Epson Store is designed to give you options concerning the privacy of your information. If you choose, you can create an account with Epson, where you will provide certain Personal Information.

After logging into your account, you will have access to your account information and the ability to view, update, or change it at any time. To access your information, you will need to create and use a password. When purchasing products from the Epson Store, the order form will also ask you to provide a daytime telephone number. Additional information, such as a phone number, will be requested so we can quickly resolve questions related to an order, such as to clarify customer orders or to notify a customer of backorder status. We and our credit card processors take steps to protect the security of your credit card information, including using tokenization.

O. Job Applicants’ Privacy Statement

When you apply for employment with Epson, we process your Personal Information (“PI”) as explained in this section. We will refer to job applicants as “Candidates.” Epson relies on lawful grounds to collect, use, and process Candidates’ PI. These lawful grounds include (to the extent permitted by applicable laws) (i) our legitimate business purposes and interests, (ii) your consent, (iii) compliance with applicable laws, (iv) the exercise of our legal rights and obligations in connection with your potential employment, and (v) other lawful grounds provided by applicable laws and regulations. Nothing in this section is intended to reduce or take away any rights or protections Candidates may have under applicable privacy laws. If anything in this section is inconsistent with any such laws, the relevant legal right or protection shall prevail.

Personal Information we collect

When you apply for a position at Epson, you provide us with your PI, such as your name, address, phone number, email etc. When you apply directly on our website, we may gather information through the use of cookies and other tracking technologies. You can find details about these technologies in the “Information Collected Automatically” paragraph of Section B above. We may also collect your PI from other sources, such as publicly available information (i.e., information available on social media platforms, such as LinkedIn), from recruitment agencies, credit reference agencies, other background check agencies, and your current and former employers. If you are unable to access and use PI about you, we may not be able to process your application or engage with you as a Candidate.

How we use Candidates’ Personal Information

We may access, use, and store your PI as necessary to carry on our legitimate business purposes, such as to assess your job application, so we can determine your qualifications and eligibility for a position with Epson. We may also use your PI to communicate with you about the status of your job application. If your job application is successful and you accept a position at Epson, we may use the PI you provided in your job application to, for example and as appropriate, process background checks. Where required by law, we may ask you for your written consent to allow us to process certain PI, including any sensitive PI, and only those Epson personnel with a need to know will have access to such information.

How long we keep your Personal Information and how we secure it

We will process your information for the duration of your time as a Candidate and as we process your job application. Whether you are offered a job with Epson or not, we will retain your information afterwards as permitted by law and only as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, HR, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements, or as otherwise agreed by you upon your consent. Epson protects the security and confidentiality of your PI by implementing necessary controls according to the sensitivity of the PI being processed as part of your job application. Such controls include encryption, access restrictions, and other technical and organizational measures to protect your PI. Only those Epson personnel with a need to know will have access to your PI as necessary to manage your job application.

CCPA Notice and Disclosures

Candidates who are California residents have specific rights under the CCPA and this section applies to you and supplements the information in our Privacy Policy. Below, we provide notice of your rights and a summary of the categories of PI we collect about you when you apply for work with Epson, as applicable and as such categories are stated in the CCPA. California Candidates have a right to (i) know what PI is collected about them, (ii) know if their PI is sold or shared and to whom, (iii) request access, correction, and deletion of their PI, (iv) opt out of the sale of their PI, and (v) not be discriminated against for exercising their CCPA rights. Epson does not sell the PI of California Candidates and does not share such information for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising. Epson does not discriminate against individuals for exercising their privacy rights. If you need to contact us regarding your Candidate privacy rights, or to request access to certain information about our collection and use of your PI, please contact us as indicated in the “Contact Us” section below. We will reply to your verifiable requests within the period prescribed by applicable law. Please note that the above rights are not absolute and there may be circumstances in which Epson may be required or allowed under applicable law not to address your request.

There may be additional information we collect that meets the definition of PI under the CCPA but is not reflected by a category above, in which case we will treat it as PI as required by law but will not include it when we describe our practices by PI category below.

Candidates’ PI Collection Purpose

We collect and use Candidate’s PI only to the extent allowed by applicable laws. As such, we collect and use Candidate’s PI as necessary to recruit new employees for Epson and to manage our recruitment system. Specifically, we collect, use, and process Candidates’ PI for the purposes described below. Our legal basis for processing Candidates’ PI is based on our legitimate business purposes, to fulfill a contractual obligation, and to comply with applicable laws. For example, it is within our legitimate business interests to verify if you are suitable for the position you have applied for, so you can perform the required job tasks. It is also within our legitimate interests to confirm your education and employment history, so we can confirm your suitability for the role applied for at Epson.

How we share your Personal Information

Epson may share Candidate’s PI for legitimate business purposes. We may share your PI within Epson and our affiliates as we evaluate your job application. In some cases, we may share your PI with our service providers, and to comply with legal obligations. For example, we may share PI with an Epson-affiliated company for purposes of recruiting and evaluating Candidates. We may also share your PI with our service providers engaged by us to perform services related to the processing of your job application, such as background check service providers, health and safety experts, benefits providers and government agencies (i.e. for equal opportunity reporting). The service providers we share your PI with are contractually required to safeguard the information they receive. Additionally, we may share your PI as necessary to respond to a legal request, such as subpoena or court order.
