The privacy policy for our Website

Introduction

Recognizing the importance of the rights and interests of individuals, KYUDEN Holdings has established a Basic Policy on the Protection of Personal Information in order to handle personal information properly, and strives to safeguard personal information in the most appropriate manner.
The following is an explanation of how its website handles personal information, including its acquisition and use.

1 Personal Information Collection

Our website is operated to provide information about the Company and to enable interactive communication with our customers.
In general, our website can be accessed without revealing your name or any other personal information. However, we may ask you to provide us with your personal information in order to offer you some of the services listed below.

  • Accepting applications concerning contracts made between you and KYUDEN Holdings
  • Accepting applications to participate in various events
  • Conducting questionnaire surveys via the Internet
  • Receiving your inquiries regarding our Group's businesses
  • Offering you information on our Group's businesses

In such cases, when you are asked to provide us with various types of personal information, the purpose of collection and use of such information will be clearly stated on the relevant page.

2 Use of Personal Information for Intended Purposes

The personal information provided by our customers will be used within the scope of the intended purpose that has been clearly indicated. This data will not be used for any purpose other than the explicitly stated purpose without your consent.

3 Personal Information Management

1.  Encryption
Upon receiving your personal information, we apply SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) data encryption to prevent the leakage and tampering of personal information during transmission.

What is SSL encryption?

Encryption is a mechanism modifying the personal information entered by a customer before sending it to the server. This is done to prevent a third party from understanding the content of the information.
Since the data exchanged between you and our server is encrypted, the information you send (input contents, etc.) and the information returned from the relevant page (input data confirmation screen, etc.) are highly unlikely to be intercepted or tampered with by a third party on the Internet.


2.  Management
We will also take necessary and appropriate measures to manage your personal information, such as providing ongoing education and training to our employees who handle it.
Other measures we undertake include controlling access to the buildings in which personal information data is held as well as preventing unauthorized access to our network.


4 Personal Information Inquiries, Corrections, Deletions, Etc.

When you request confirmation of your personal information details collected on our website, we will respond appropriately and without delay, such as by carefully confirming that the request has been made by you, the actual customer.
We will also respond without delay to your requests to correct, add to, delete, suspend the use of, or erase your own personal information.

5 Statistical Information Collection

1.  Access logs
Our website records and stores information on customers who access the website in the form of access logs. These access logs contain information such as the IP address, host name, browser used, and access date and time. However, they do not include any information identifying individual customers.
These access logs are used to maintain and manage our website, as well as to perform statistical analyses of access. They will not be utilized for any other purpose.


2.  Web beacons
Our website uses a mechanism of web beacons.
Web beacons are a system that allows us to confirm page views by embedding specific invisible images or similar elements. Customers' page viewing status is tracked based on the number of times the invisible image or other element is called up when customers view a page.
We use web beacons to statistically analyze website usage and to measure the efficacy of our advertising and other activities.
