Upon request for disclosure under the Personal Information Protection Act, and after confirming the request is from the customer本人, we will disclose the information without delay (or notify if the information does not exist). However, we may decline disclosure when permitted by law.
9. Correction of Personal Information
If a customer requests correction, addition, or deletion (“Correction, etc.”) of personal information based on the Act due to inaccuracies, we will investigate without delay after confirming the request is from the customer本人. Based on the results, we will make necessary corrections and notify the customer (or notify if no correction is made). Exceptions apply where laws do not obligate us to correct.
10. Suspension of Use of Personal Information
If a customer requests suspension or deletion (“Suspension, etc.”) based on the Act due to use beyond the announced purpose or unlawful acquisition, and the claim is found valid, we will suspend use without delay after confirming the request is from the customer本人 and notify the customer. Exceptions apply where laws do not obligate such action.
