Article 5 (Provision of personal information to third parties)

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

  1. When necessary to protect a person's life, body or property and it is difficult to obtain the person's consent
  2. When especially necessary to improve public health or promote the healthy development of children and it is difficult to obtain the person's consent
  3. When it is necessary to cooperate with a national agency, local government, or a person entrusted by them in carrying out affairs prescribed by law, and obtaining the person's consent may hinder those affairs
  4. When the following matters have been notified or published in advance and the Company has notified the Personal Information Protection Commission: that the purpose of use includes provision to third parties; the items of data provided; the means or method of provision; that provision will be stopped at the person's request; and how such requests are received

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the following recipients are not considered third parties.

  2. When personal information is provided as a result of a business succession due to a merger or other reasons

Article 6 (Disclosure of personal information)

When a person requests disclosure of their personal information, the Company will disclose it without delay. However, the Company may decline to disclose all or part of it if disclosure falls under any of the following, and will notify the person without delay if it decides not to disclose. A fee of ¥1,000 per request is charged for disclosure.

  1. When disclosure may harm the life, body, property or other rights and interests of the person or a third party
  2. When disclosure may significantly interfere with the proper conduct of the Company's business
  3. When disclosure would otherwise violate laws and regulations

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, information other than personal information, such as history information and characteristic information, is in principle not disclosed.

Article 7 (Correction and deletion of personal information)

If personal information held by the Company about a user is incorrect, the user may request correction, addition or deletion ("Correction") through the procedure prescribed by the Company.

If the Company determines that it is necessary to respond to such a request, it will make the Correction without delay.

The Company will notify the user without delay when it has made a Correction or decided not to make one.

Article 8 (Suspension of use of personal information)

If a person requests that use of their personal information be suspended or that it be erased ("Suspension") because it is being handled beyond the scope of the purpose of use or was obtained by improper means, the Company will conduct the necessary investigation without delay.

If, based on the investigation, the Company determines it is necessary to respond, it will carry out the Suspension without delay.

The Company will notify the user without delay when it has carried out a Suspension or decided not to.
