The Company appoints a person responsible for the protection of customers’ personal information. This person appropriately manages this information in accordance with regulations established by the Company governing the protection of personal information.
When the Company asks a customer to provide personal information such as name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, the Company advises the customer of the purpose for which this information is used and provides the customer with contact information concerning the Company for any related inquiries. The Company only asks the customer for information that is within the scope appropriate to the purpose.
