The Company shall only use personal information for the purpose or purposes notified or disclosed to the customer. However, this shall not be applied where permission has been obtained from the customer in advance, or where exceptions to this clause are stipulated under the law.
The Company shall not provide or disclose personal data (this refers to personal information that composes a personal information database etc., where such a personal information database is a collection of information including personal information, systematically organized such that it is easy to search for specific personal information, as prescribed by cabinet order) to a third party without the prior agreement of the customer. However, this does not apply where exceptions are stipulated under the law.
The Company shall strive to maintain accurate and up-to-date information within the necessary range to achieve the purpose of utilization of the personal data being handled. Further, all necessary and appropriate measures will be taken to prevent the leak of, loss of, damage to or unlawful access to said personal information, including the monitoring of employees and sub-contractors to conduct appropriate management.
If the customer (in person, or through a representative) requests the Company to disclose, notify the purpose of utilization for, correct, or no longer use the personal data retained by the Company (excluding data for which the Company has the right to disclose or correct the information etc., and for which the existence or non-existence, if disclosed, would prejudice public interest or other interest, as stipulated by cabinet order, or information that must be deleted within 6 months), based on legal requirement, will verify that said request is from the customer in person (or a representative) and will then act in accordance with the customer's request.
