Your Choices and Right to Control Your Personal Information.
You always have the choice to provide or withhold Personal Information in your communications with Ricoh, your interactions with Ricoh’s websites and on social media. For example, certain Ricoh’s public facing websites and social media postings are accessible to the general public with no requirement to provide Ricoh with information of any kind.
However, access to certain aspects of Ricoh’s online presence and the delivery of certain Ricoh publications, information, products and services require that Ricoh have certain Personal Information (e.g., Ricoh cannot provide you with information you request by email without knowing your email address). In other cases, to comply with its legal obligation and as a matter of the responsible management of its business, Ricoh makes information, products and services available subject to agreements that require you to provide certain Personal Information, so that Ricoh knows who it is doing business with. If you choose not to provide Ricoh with Personal Information as requested, you may not be able to access, obtain or use online resources, printed and electronic publications, information, products or services Ricoh provides to others.
If you no longer want to receive marketing-related emails from Ricoh, you may opt-out from receiving such communications by using the opt-out mechanism in the message that you have received, or by sending email to privacy@ricoh-usa.com. Ricoh will comply with your request promptly. However, if you opt out while you have an existing, ongoing relationship with Ricoh (e.g., because you or your employer are a Ricoh customer), Ricoh will continue to communicate with you and to collect and use your Personal Information, as this Notice describes, for the purposes of that relationship.
Requests to review, revise, update, or delete Personal Information you previously provided to Ricoh may be made by email to privacy@ricoh-usa.com. These requests may be made at any time and will be processed at no charge.
However, if you make such a request concerning your Personal Information that Ricoh obtained from a customer, Ricoh will respond to your request by referring it to the customer concerned and will alter Personal Information entrusted to it by customers solely as each customer instructs or as required by law.
Where Ricoh is required to respond to you directly concerning your Personal Information, we will seek to verify your identity as the data subject or a person to act on the data subject’s behalf concerning that Personal Information.
