in the beginning
In today's advanced information society, information is becoming increasingly important, and in particular, personally identifiable information (hereinafter referred to as "personal information") is important not only to our employees but also to our customers, and must be handled appropriately.
We believe that it is our social responsibility to use and protect such Personal Information in an appropriate manner.
For this reason, we have established a "Personal Information Protection Policy" to ensure that personal information is handled appropriately and in compliance with this policy.
Definition of Personal Information
Personal information is information about an individual, including name, address, age, gender, e-mail address, photograph, and other information that can identify an individual (including information that cannot identify an individual by itself but can be easily cross-checked with other information to identify an individual).
We handle the following types of personal information
Information about the person in charge of a company with which we do business
Information about our employees (including board members, part-time workers, part-time workers, etc.), temporary employees, and applicants for employment with our company
Basic Principles for Handling Personal Information
Our four basic principles for handling personal information are as follows
- Clear statement of purpose of use and prohibition of use for purposes other than the stated purpose
When we ask you to provide us with personal information, we will clearly state the purpose for which the information is to be used in advance, and limit the use of the information to within the scope of the stated purpose.
If it becomes necessary to use personal information for purposes other than those originally stated, we will notify you of the purpose in advance.
At that time, if you do not wish to provide us with your personal information for the new purpose, you may choose not to provide your personal information at your own discretion. (However, if personal information is essential to the provision of a service, we may not be able to provide said service.)
2. Non-disclosure and Non-provision of Customers' Personal Information to Third Parties
Basically, we do not disclose or provide personal information provided by customers to third parties, except in the following cases
1. When we have the customer's consent.
2. When the content of the inquiry is deemed appropriate to be answered by our affiliates or agents.
3. When disclosure of personal information is required by legal order, etc
4. In the event of succession of business due to merger, corporate separation, transfer of business, or other reasons
3. Strict and appropriate management of customers' personal information
We will manage customers' personal information appropriately and carefully.
In addition, strict security measures will be taken to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of personal information.
4. Disclosure and correction of customer information to the customer
Upon request from a customer, we will disclose customer information to the customer in accordance with the prescribed procedures.
If there are any changes or corrections to this information, we will make corrections in accordance with the prescribed procedures.
