The following is the Foundation’s Personal Information Policy.

Definition of terms

Terms used in this Personal Information Policy are defined as follows.

2. ② Analyze records of service use and frequency of access, prepare statistics on service use, provide tailored service and post advertisements according to service analysis and statistics, etc.

Also, in the process of use of service, IP address, cookies, records on use of service, device information, and location information can be created and collected.
2. ② Method of collecting personal information A.

B. During consultations with the customer center, a member’s personal information can be collected through websites, e-mail, facsimile, phone, etc. C. In offline events, etc., personal information can be collected with written consent.
3. ③ Period of retention of personal information

Such valid period is 1 year from the time of a member’s last use of the service, after which period the Foundation separately stores and manages the personal information. This separate storage and management, a measure tantamount to destruction of personal information based on physical or logical separation of personal information, stores and manages the personal information of the aforesaid long-term non-users separately from that of general members, and restricts access thereto by the Foundation’s ordinary employees. Also, the Foundation notifies, by emails, etc. at least 30 days before the validity period expires, the relevant user of the fact that his/her personal information will be separately stored and managed. Even after expiry of the validity period, however, a member’s login to the websites will be deemed as a request for re-use of the service, and the state of separate storage and management of personal information will be turned into that of normal use thereof.
