Our privacy policy

Except where we have provided otherwise, we establish the following Privacy Policy regarding the handling of information that can identify a specific individual — such as clients and persons related to our business partners — handled in the course of our business (hereinafter "personal information"), and we work to protect it.

[Acquisition of personal information]

We acquire personal information by lawful and fair means.

[Use of personal information]

We specify and make clear, as far as possible, the purposes for which the personal information we acquire will be used. Personal information is used within the scope of those purposes, by persons with the relevant authority according to the specific work concerned, and within the scope necessary for that work. Where we use personal information, we specify and make clear, as far as possible, the necessary matters including the purpose of use.

[Management of personal information]

We take appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access to personal information and the loss, alteration or leakage of personal information. Where we outsource the processing of personal information, we take the necessary measures, including concluding an appropriate contract with the contractor covering the content of its security control measures. We establish rules on the handling of personal information, carry them out reliably, and improve them on an ongoing basis.

[Disclosure, correction and suspension of use of personal information]

Where a request is made for the disclosure, correction or suspension of use of one's own personal information, we will respond after confirming the identity of the individual. Enquiries regarding personal information are accepted via the "contact form".
