What personal information we ask for

The personal information we ask users for will be used for the following purposes. If you wish to refuse to allow us to use your personal information for a particular purpose, you may request that we do so at any time.

To improve the contents of our web site and e-mails for your satisfaction, or to customize them for individual users. We may use the personal information we collect to improve the site to better satisfy our users or to customize it to the needs of individual users. We may also use personal information to show you advertisements that may be of interest to you.

 

Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties

We will not disclose your personal information to any third party without your consent. (We will not pass your personal information to any other company or organization that may be able to provide you with information that may be of interest to you.) If a user who has consented to the disclosure of his/her personal information to a third party later requests that the Company cease providing such information to the third party, the Company will do so as soon as possible. However, when users request information, services, product orders, applications, contact, etc. from companies/organizations other than ours at our various events or via our various websites, we will assume that the users themselves have given their consent when they provide their personal information, and we may pass their personal information to the company/organization in question. We may pass your personal information to such companies/organizations.

In addition, in the case of membership services originally provided by the Company for such intermediary purposes, the consent of all users is deemed to have been given at the time of membership registration. When payment is required for use of paid services or ordering products, personal information may be exchanged with financial institutions. This is to verify the legitimacy of the bank account or the validity of the credit card. We may also disclose personal information when we are required to do so by law or when it is necessary to protect/defend the rights/property/security, etc. of other users, our company, etc.

We may release aggregate information that statistically processes personal information (e.g., "XX% of all users visit XXX Forum each year"). This does not include information that identifies individual users.

Upon request from a user, we will stop providing information or services to the user in question, and in the case of cancellation, we will delete the user's personal information from our database.
