GDPR Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy sets forth the policy which will be applied with respect to the processing of Personal Data concerning data subjects in the European Economic Area ("EEA") in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). This Privacy Policy is for people who are located in the EEA and supplements our general Privacy Policy.


1. Types of Personal Data

In this Privacy Policy, "Personal Data" means any data relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. We may collect and process Personal Data such as name, age, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, address, department name, IP address, and Cookie information.

(2) Legal Grounds for handling the Personal Data

We may handle the Personal Data based on the following legal grounds:

-To perform your instructions or fulfil the obligations under other contracts with you;
-Your consent expressly given to us to handle the Personal Data in such manner. You may withdraw the consent to this handling at any time; however, this will not affect the lawfulness of any handling activity carried out by us before such withdrawal of the consent.

(3) Additional processing
In the case of processing the Personal Data for purposes other than the foregoing, we will notify you in advance of such purposes of use and other matters as required by applicable laws.

(4) Necessity of providing Personal Data
The Personal Data that you are to provide is necessary in order for us to provide our services to you. Therefore, without the Personal Data, there may be cases where we will not be able to provide the services to you, in whole or in part.

(5) Retention period
We will retain your Personal Data as long as such data is necessary to provide the services to you, but we will promptly delete the same in the case such data is no longer needed.

We may provide your Personal Data to third parties such as our subsidiaries and affiliates, cloud vendors, outside contractors and professionals (including tax firms and law firms), etc., and your Personal Data will be processed by such third parties in order to carry out the purposes of use specified above.
The Personal Data may be transferred to entities in countries or jurisdictions outside the EEA, such as Japan, if required for the purposes as described above. Please note that such countries or jurisdictions may not have the same data protection laws as the EEA and that they may not afford many of the rights conferred upon you in the EEA. We will ensure that any such international transfers are made subject to appropriate and suitable safeguards as required by the GDPR or other relevant laws. When doing so, we will comply with applicable data protection requirements and take appropriate safeguards to ensure the security and integrity of the Personal Data.

3. Data subject's rights

You may make a request to us for access to, correction or deletion of, or restriction of processing of your Personal Data, and may make a request for data portability with regard to your Personal Data retained by us. When we receive a request based on the right specified above, we will conduct any necessary investigation without delay and provide you or a nominated third party with the Personal Data or respond to such rights without delay.
Please note that you may raise an objection to the data protection authorities having jurisdiction over us or the location of your domicile with regard to the processing of your Personal Data.
