Privacy Policy

The Shop recognizes the importance of protecting customers' personal information. We comply with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (the "Act") and strive to handle and protect personal information appropriately in accordance with the following privacy policy (this "Privacy Policy").

1. Definition of personal information

In this Privacy Policy, personal information means personal information as defined in Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the Act: information about a living individual that can identify a specific individual by name, date of birth or other description contained in it (including information that can easily be collated with other information and thereby identify a specific individual), or information that contains an individual identification code.

2. Purposes of use

The Shop uses customers' personal information for the following purposes:

• (1) To provide the Shop's services
• (2) To provide information about the Shop's services and respond to inquiries
• (3) To provide information about the Shop's products and services
• (4) To respond to acts that violate the Shop's terms, policies, etc. relating to its services (the "Terms")
• (5) To notify customers of changes to the Terms relating to the Shop's services
• (6) To improve the Shop's services and develop new services
• (7) To create statistical data, processed into a form that cannot identify individuals, in connection with the Shop's services

3. Changes to the purposes of use

The Shop may change the purposes of use of personal information within a scope reasonably recognized as related, and will notify customers or make a public announcement if it does so.

4. Restrictions on use

Except as permitted by the Act or other laws, the Shop will not handle personal information beyond the scope necessary to achieve the purposes of use without the customer's consent. However, this does not apply in the following cases:

• (1) When based on laws and regulations
• (2) When necessary to protect a person's life, body or property and it is difficult to obtain the customer's consent
• (3) When especially necessary to improve public health or promote the sound development of children and it is difficult to obtain the customer's consent
• (4) When it is necessary to cooperate with a national agency, local government, or a party entrusted by them in carrying out affairs prescribed by law, and obtaining the customer's consent may interfere with carrying out those affairs

5. Proper acquisition

The Shop acquires personal information properly and does not acquire it by deception or other improper means.

6. Security management

The Shop provides necessary and appropriate supervision of its employees so that personal information is managed securely against risks such as loss, destruction, alteration and leakage. When the Shop entrusts all or part of the handling of personal information to others, it provides necessary and appropriate supervision so that the contractor manages personal information securely.

7. Provision to third parties

Except where disclosure is permitted under the Act or other laws, the Shop will not provide personal information to third parties without the customer's prior consent. However, the following cases do not constitute provision to third parties as defined above:

• (1) When the Shop provides personal information in connection with entrusting all or part of its handling within the scope necessary to achieve the purposes of use
• (2) When personal information is provided in connection with the succession of business due to a merger or other reasons
• (3) When personal information is jointly used in accordance with the Act

8. Disclosure

When a customer requests disclosure of personal information under the Act, the Shop will, after confirming that the request is from the customer in person, disclose it to the customer without delay (if the personal information does not exist, we will notify the customer to that effect). However, this does not apply where the Shop is not obliged to disclose under the Act or other laws.

9. Correction

When a customer requests correction, addition or deletion ("correction") of personal information under the Act on the grounds that it is untrue, the Shop will, after confirming that the request is from the customer in person, conduct the necessary investigation without delay within the scope necessary to achieve the purposes of use, correct the personal information based on the results, and notify the customer (if we decide not to make a correction, we will notify the customer to that effect). However, this does not apply where the Shop is not obliged to make corrections under the Act or other laws.

10. Suspension of use

When a customer requests suspension of use or erasure ("suspension of use") of personal information under the Act on the grounds that it is being handled beyond the scope of the purposes of use announced in advance, or that it was acquired by deception or other improper means, and the request is found to be justified, the Shop will, after confirming that the request is from the customer in person, suspend use of the personal information without delay and notify the customer. However, this does not apply where the Shop is not obliged to suspend use under the Act or other laws.
