Personal data refers to data that can be used to identify an individual, including their name, address, date of birth, gender, telephone number, e-mail address, company name, IP address, and other online identifiers. Handling refers to tasks implemented in relation to personal data, whether manual or automatic, including collecting, recording, configuring, structuring, saving, adapting/modifying, searching, referencing, using, disclosing, disclosing by sending/transmitting, or otherwise providing for use, sorting/combining, restricting, deleting, and destroying it.

  • Purpose of Handling of Personal Data
    Personal data is used for marketing surveys and various promotions to improve user experience when using the website.
  • Additional Handling
    In the event that personal data is to be handled for purposes other than the above, we will notify the user in advance of the new purpose of handling and other matters as stipulated by applicable laws.
  • Consent to Handling of Personal Data
    By expressing intent to consent to this Privacy Policy, the user consents to the handling of their personal data by us, which will handle the user’s personal data based on that consent. However, the user may withdraw their consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of handling of personal data based on consent prior to withdrawal.
    We may ask users to provide personal data related to provision of services and information via the website. If the user elects not to provide that personal data, we may not be able to provide said services and information.
  • Transfer
    By expressing intent to consent to this Privacy Policy, the user consents to the handling of their personal data in Japan where there are no protective measures based on the General Data Protection Regulation such as standard contract clauses and the European Commission has not determined the sufficiency of the level of protection.
    We have implemented organizational and technical safety control measures in accordance with “9. Safety Control Measures” with respect to handling of personal data received from users.
    We may transfer personal data to companies (such as contractors) and other third parties with which they have signed non-disclosure agreements in advance in order to carry out the purposes of handling set forth above. The third parties to which we disclose the personal data of users include several companies located in countries outside of the EEA (including Japan and the United States; the same applies hereinafter). As such, by consenting to this Privacy Policy, the user consents to the following:
    (1) If said third parties are located in countries outside of the EEA that do not have data protection laws similar to the EEA, they will not be granted many of the rights established for data subjects within the EEA.
    (2) Their personal data will be transferred to third parties outside of the EEA.
    (3) Their personal data will be transferred, and a third party outside of the EEA to which we disclose the data will process it to achieve the purposes set forth above.
    In the event that we transfer personal data to a third party located in a country outside of the EEA, we will ensure that sufficient measures are in place to protect the personal data by such means as signing an agreement with said third party that contains standard contract clauses based on the EU General Data Protection Regulation.
  • Rights of Data Subjects
    Users may request access, correction, deletion, or processing restrictions; file objections to processing; and make requests for data portability in relation to the personal data held by us in accordance with related laws and ordinances.
