When information includes information that is supplied to third parties for use

Irrespective of the aforementioned, the following are not defined as “third parties.”

When entrusting the handling of user personal information to third parties, we will supervise subcontractors to ensure they handle information safely and appropriately, such as by concluding nondisclosure agreements with them.

When requested by a user to disclose the personal information we hold about them, we will immediately comply with the disclosure request. However, we may not disclose the information in whole or part in one of the following cases. If we determine we cannot disclose the information, we will immediately notify users of this.

Irrespective of the aforementioned, we do not in principle disclose information other than personal information related to history and attributes.

If users find that the personal information about them held by us is incorrect, they can request us to correct or delete the information according to a process we determine.
If we determine after receiving such a user request that it is necessary to comply with it, we will immediately undertake to correct or delete the appropriate personal information.

This website integrates Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology on the pages where personal information is inputted in order to ensure security for users when submitting their information. With SSL, the inputted data is passed along a network after being encrypted at the device until it reaches the registered computer.
SSL is a security technology that protects against the theft or manipulation of data by third parties by carrying out encryption and authentication in the transmission process between the browser and server.

If requested by the user to cease using or to delete their personal information for reasons pertaining to our handling of their personal information in ways that exceed the purposes of its use or pertaining to our having obtained the information through wrongful means, we will immediately conduct a necessary survey and, based on the results of this, cease to use the personal information and notify the user of such actions. However, when the process of ending our usage of the personal information has significant costs or is otherwise problematic, and when substitute measures can be taken instead of this in order to protect the rights and interests of the user, we will undertake alternate actions.

The content of this policy is subject to change without notification. With the exception of other cases determined by us, the updated privacy policy will become valid from when it is published here on this website.
