We collect personal information by lawful and fair means.

We use the personal information we collect for the purposes set out below, to the extent necessary for the conduct of our business.
Where we have indicated a purpose of use individually, by express statement or notice, we use the information within the scope of that purpose.

• Providing the products and services we handle

• Responding to enquiries, consultations and requests concerning the products and services we handle
• Conducting surveys relating to the products and services we handle
• Research and development of new products

We appoint a personal information manager in each department and manage personal information appropriately.
We ensure that our directors and employees are fully informed about the protection of personal information and about proper methods of managing it, so that personal information is handled properly in the course of day-to-day operations.

We keep personal information accurate and manage it securely.
To prevent the loss, destruction or leakage of personal information, we take appropriate information security measures against unauthorised access, computer viruses and similar threats.

We do not provide or disclose personal information to third parties except in the cases listed below.

• Where we have obtained the prior consent of the individual concerned
• Where required by laws and regulations
• Where it is necessary to protect the life, body or property of a person and it is difficult to obtain the consent of the individual concerned
• Where we entrust the handling of personal information to a contractor, within the scope necessary to achieve the purpose of use
• Where a business is succeeded by reason of merger, company split, transfer of business or any other cause

We may use personal information jointly with our group companies, within the scope of the purposes of use that we have established. In such cases, we remain responsible for the management of that personal information.

Where we provide personal information to a contractor, we exercise appropriate management and supervision over that contractor.

If you wish to confirm, correct, suspend the use of or delete your own personal information, please contact us and we will respond promptly, so far as is reasonable. (When we do so, we will verify, by a method we specify, that the request has been made by the individual concerned.)
