The Company may collect the following information directly from you, automatically through the Website and forms, from transaction service providers, or from public sources and commercial databases:
If information required for an Initial Offer, selection, verification, payment, shipment or other transaction step is not provided, the Company may be unable to receive or evaluate the offer, select the Applicant, form or perform a Sale Contract, or deliver the Work.
The Company uses Personal Information only to the extent necessary for the following purposes:
The Company will not use Personal Information beyond the scope reasonably related to these purposes without obtaining consent, except as permitted by the APPI or other applicable law.
Consent to marketing is optional, is requested separately from the confirmations required for an Initial Offer or purchase, and is not selected by default. Refusing or withdrawing marketing consent does not affect the receipt or evaluation of an Initial Offer. Consent may be withdrawn at any time through the unsubscribe method stated in the communication or by contacting the Privacy Contact.
Outsourcing. Where a service provider handles Personal Data solely on the Company's behalf and within the purposes stated above, the Company may entrust such handling to contractors such as form and website providers, cloud and email providers, production workshops, and carriers. The Company selects appropriate contractors, includes necessary data-protection obligations in its arrangements, and exercises necessary and appropriate supervision.
Provision to Independent Third Parties. Where an escrow, payment, identity-verification, insurance, customs, logistics, professional, or other provider handles Personal Data for its own legal or operational purposes, that provider is treated as an independent third party. The Company will not provide Personal Data to an independent third party without the individual's prior consent, except where permitted by the APPI or other applicable law. The Company will provide the information required by law and obtain consent at the relevant stage where required. Personal Data may also be disclosed to courts, customs, tax or other governmental authorities where required or permitted by law, or transferred in connection with a merger, business transfer or other business succession as permitted by law.
The Company uses service providers located outside Japan. The offer-reception and inquiry forms may be provided using Typeform, operated by Typeform S.L. in Spain, and Typeform may engage subprocessors in other countries. Other escrow, payment, cloud, insurance, logistics or technology providers may also handle Personal Data outside Japan.
The Company provides Personal Data to a recipient outside Japan only in accordance with Article 28 of the APPI, including where the recipient is located in a country recognized as having an equivalent personal-information protection system, where the recipient has established a system to continuously implement measures equivalent to those required under the APPI, or where the Company has obtained the individual's informed consent. Where consent is required, the Company will separately provide the information required by law, including the relevant country, its personal-information protection system, and the measures taken by the recipient, before obtaining consent.
Where the Company relies on a recipient's equivalent measures, the Company will periodically confirm the implementation of those measures and take other steps required by the APPI. The Company also understands the personal-information protection systems of countries in which Personal Data is handled and implements necessary and appropriate security measures.
The Company retains Personal Information only for the period reasonably necessary for the purposes stated in this Policy, including the following considerations:
After the applicable period, the Company securely deletes the information or processes it so that the individual can no longer be identified, unless continued retention is required or permitted by law.
The Company takes necessary and appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized access to, leakage, loss, alteration or destruction of Personal Data. The principal measures include:
Further information on the Company's security measures will be provided without undue delay upon a legitimate request, to the extent disclosure would not impair security or other protected interests.
Under the conditions provided by the APPI, an individual may request notification of the purpose of use, disclosure of Retained Personal Data or records of third-party provision, correction, addition or deletion of inaccurate information, or suspension of use, deletion or suspension of third-party provision.
A request should be submitted through the Privacy Contact with sufficient details to identify the requested information. The Company may request reasonable identity-verification materials and, for a request through an authorized representative, evidence of authority. The Company will respond by an appropriate electronic or other method within the period required by law. If the Company does not take the requested action in a case permitted by law, it will notify the requester accordingly.
The Website and embedded forms may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the Website and forms, maintain sessions, prevent fraud, remember user settings, and understand how the Website and forms are used. Through these technologies, the Company may receive technical information such as IP addresses, browser and device information, access logs and identifiers. Forms provided through Typeform may use cookies and similar technologies in accordance with Typeform's applicable privacy and cookie notices. Users may disable cookies through browser or device settings, although some functions may not operate properly. The Company does not use cookies for targeted advertising or cross-site tracking unless that use is separately disclosed. Where the APPI requires consent or confirmation in connection with the provision of personally referable information to a third party, the Company will take the measures required by law.
The Project is intended only for individuals who satisfy the eligibility requirements stated in the Terms of Use. The Company does not knowingly accept an Initial Offer from an individual who does not satisfy those requirements. If the Company becomes aware that it has collected Personal Information in such circumstances, it will take appropriate steps, including deletion where appropriate.
The Company may amend this Policy to reflect changes in law, services, systems or operating practices. The amended Policy and its effective date will be posted on the Website. Where appropriate, the Company will provide additional notice of material changes.
Inquiries, complaints and requests concerning this Policy or the handling of Personal Information may be submitted through the contact form on the Project's website.
