Article 4: Changes to Purposes of Use

Article 5: Provision to Third Parties

The Company will not provide personal information to third parties without prior user consent except in the following cases, or where permitted by the Act on the Protection of Personal Information or other laws:

• When necessary to protect a person's life, body or property and obtaining consent is difficult
• When particularly necessary to improve public health or promote the sound development of children and obtaining consent is difficult
• When cooperation with a national or local government body, or its contractor, is necessary for legally prescribed duties and obtaining consent could impede those duties
• When the Company has notified or published the following matters in advance and filed a notification with the Personal Information Protection Commission: that purposes of use include third-party provision; the data items to be provided; the means or method of provision; that provision will cease at the individual's request; and the method for accepting such requests

Regardless of the preceding provisions, recipients are not considered third parties in the following cases:

• When the Company entrusts all or part of the handling of personal information to a contractor to the extent necessary to achieve its purposes of use
• When personal information is transferred through a merger or other business succession
• When personal information is used jointly with specified parties and the individual has been notified in advance, or can readily access information, about the joint use, the data items, the parties involved, their purposes of use and the name of the person or entity responsible for managing the information

Article 6: Disclosure

When an individual requests disclosure of their personal information, the Company will disclose it without delay. However, it may withhold all or part of the information in the cases below and will notify the individual without delay if it decides not to disclose it. A fee of JPY 1,000 applies to each disclosure request.

• When disclosure could harm the life, body, property or other rights or interests of the individual or a third party
• When disclosure could significantly hinder the proper conduct of the Company's business
• When disclosure would violate other laws

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, information other than personal information, such as history and attribute information, will generally not be disclosed.

Article 7: Correction and Deletion

If personal information held by the Company is incorrect, users may request correction, addition or deletion (“Corrections”) under the Company's prescribed procedures. If the Company determines that a request should be fulfilled, it will make the Corrections without delay. It will notify the user without delay when it makes Corrections or decides not to do so.

Article 8: Suspension of Use

If an individual requests suspension of use or deletion (“Suspension”) because their information is being used beyond its stated purposes or was acquired improperly, the Company will conduct the necessary investigation without delay. If the investigation shows that the request should be fulfilled, the Company will carry out the Suspension without delay. It will notify the individual without delay when it carries out the Suspension or decides not to do so. Notwithstanding the preceding two provisions, if Suspension would involve significant expense or is otherwise difficult, the Company will take alternative measures where these can protect the individual's rights and interests.

Article 9: Changes to This Policy

Except where otherwise provided by law or this Policy, the Company may change this Policy without notifying users. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, changes take effect when the revised Policy is published on this website.
