PRIVACYprivacy policy

"Personal information" means any information about a living individual as defined by Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (name, date of birth, and other identifiers), as well as email addresses, user IDs, and attribute information (age, family structure, etc.) used in combination with such identifiers.

We collect personal information only to the extent necessary for business operations, by lawful and fair means.

We use personal information for the following purposes within services provided on this site (including those of registered companies and partners, collectively the "Services").

1. (1)To provide announcements regarding the launch and updates of the Services.
2. (2)To conduct surveys and other research about the Services.
3. (3)To send information about products, services, events, and seminars from the Services and partners via email and other channels.
4. (4)To create, use, and disclose anonymized statistical data about the Services.
5. (5)To improve the Services and produce marketing materials, after de-identifying data so individuals cannot be identified.

We keep personal information accurate and up to date, and implement necessary security measures — system maintenance, organizational protocols, and staff training — to prevent unauthorized access, loss, damage, alteration, and leakage.

We notify the purpose of use whenever personal information is handled, to the extent practical.

Cookie and IP address information alone cannot identify an individual, so they are not treated as personal information by themselves. When combined with personal information, however, cookies and IP addresses are treated as personal information.

On media operated by us, when cookie or IP address information is used — even if individuals cannot be identified — we disclose the purpose and method. Cookies can be declined via your browser settings.

We manage personal information appropriately and do not disclose it to third parties except in the following cases:

• When the customer has given consent.
• When disclosure is required by law.

We may disclose personal information to payment processors for identity verification, billing confirmation, and credit assessment.

We take comprehensive security measures to ensure the accuracy and safety of personal information.

If you wish to inquire about, correct, or delete your personal information, we will respond after verifying your identity.

We comply with applicable Japanese laws and other norms regarding personal information, and review and improve this policy as appropriate.
