Privacy Policy

We will specify as much as possible the purpose of use of the personal information we have acquired from our customers and disclose it in advance.
In addition, when obtaining personal information directly from customers in written documents such as contracts, etc., we will clearly state the purpose of use to the customer in advance.

We will handle customers' personal information only to the extent necessary to achieve the purpose of use.
However, in any of the following cases, we may handle customers' personal information beyond the scope necessary to achieve the purpose of use.

• When required by law.
• When there is the consent of the person in question.
• When it is necessary for the protection of the life, body, or property of an individual and it is difficult to obtain the consent of the individual.
• When disclosure is especially necessary to improve public health or promote the sound growth of children, and it is difficult to obtain the consent of the individual concerned.
• Cases in which the provision of personal information is necessary for cooperating with a national agency, a local government, or an individual or entity entrusted by either a national agency or local government to execute affairs prescribed by law, and in which obtaining the consent of the individual is likely to impede the execution of the affairs concerned.

We will set a storage period for customers' personal information within the scope necessary for the purpose of use, and will delete customers' personal information without delay after the storage period has elapsed or the purpose of use has been achieved.
However, this does not apply in any of the following cases.

• When required by law.
• When we have the consent of the person in question.
• When there are reasonable grounds for not erasing personal information in cases where the Company retains personal information to the extent necessary for the performance of its own operations.
• In addition to the cases listed in the preceding three items, there is a special reason for not erasing the relevant personal information.

We may outsource all or part of the handling of customers' personal information to a third party within the scope of the purpose of use.
In such cases, when selecting a contractor, we will confirm that the contractor handles personal information appropriately, and we will require the contractor to handle customers' personal information appropriately by, for example, specifying items regarding the appropriate handling of personal information in the contract.
In addition, we will exercise necessary and appropriate supervision over the contractor by including in the contract an item regarding auditing of the handling of personal information.

We will not provide your personal information to any third party except in the following cases.

• When required by law.
• When we have the consent of the person in question.
• When it is necessary for the protection of the life, body, or property of an individual and it is difficult to obtain the consent of the individual.

• Cases in which the handling of personal information is entrusted to a third party within the scope necessary to achieve the purposes of collection and use.
• When personal information is provided in connection with the succession of business due to merger or other reasons.

If you wish to be notified of the purpose of use of your personal information, to disclose, correct, add, or delete your personal information, or to discontinue its use or provision to a third party, please follow our separately prescribed procedures.
