Onoken Co., Ltd. (“Onoken” or “the Company”) recognizes the importance of protecting personal information and, for this reason, complies with all applicable laws and regulations to ensure that any personal information is managed appropriately and kept safe.
Definition of Personal Information
Personal information is defined as information, such as the name, date of birth or other description of living people that can be used to identify a specific individual; or details that can be easily compared with other information to determine an identity. In addition, information about a person who has passed away also qualifies as personal information because it can be related back to the surviving family.
Acquisition of Personal Information
Onoken only collects personal information in lawful and appropriate ways, and with a legitimate business purpose, clearly identifying the purposes and methods used to obtain the personal information.
Use of Personal Information
Onoken will only use personal information for the purposes indicated when it was collected. Prior consent must be obtained from the individual if any personal information needs to be used for any other purpose.
Provision of Personal Information
Personal information is not provided to any third party without the consent of the individual. If personal information is provided to an outside source to the extent necessary to achieve the purpose of use, the outside source must properly handle the personal information that the Company provided.
Management of Personal Information
Onoken strives to keep personal information as accurate and up to date as possible to the extent necessary to achieve the purpose of use. In addition, effective measures have been taken, both technically and organizationally, to prevent the unauthorized access, loss, leakage, destruction, or tampering with personal information.
Disclosure, Correction, and Suspension of Use of Personal Information
When an individual requests the disclosure, correction, or suspension of use of personal information, Onoken responds to these requests without delay and within reason, by following all laws and regulations, after confirming the identity of the individual.
Education and Training on Protection of Personal Information
Onoken provides education and training to executive officers and employees to ensure that they are aware of the importance and necessity of protecting personal information, and to implement specific measures for effective handling.
Implementation and Review of Voluntary Inspections
In addition to developing an internal system for protecting personal information, Onoken regularly makes voluntary inspections of the handling of personal information. Results of the inspections are used to make improvements and amendments when needed to maintain and improve the level of personal information protection.
