1) Specification of the Purpose of Use

We collect and use personal information only for the following purposes and within the scope necessary to achieve them:

  • To provide and operate our consulting and related services
  • To answer inquiries and provide support
  • To send notices about updates, events, and marketing with consent where required
  • To improve services, user experience, and security (incl. analytics)
  • To perform billing, accounting, and legal compliance

We will not use personal information beyond these purposes without obtaining prior consent, except as permitted by APPI.

2) Restriction by the Purpose of Use 

We do not handle personal information beyond the stated purposes above unless allowed under APPI exceptions (e.g., required by law, necessary to protect life/body/property, or to cooperate with government where obtaining consent is difficult).

3) Proper Acquisition

We acquire personal information properly and fairly, and not by deceitful or other improper means. Where required, we notify or publicly announce the purpose of use at or before acquisition. 

4) Notice of the Purpose of Use at the Time of Acquisition (with exceptions)

At the time of acquisition (e.g., contact forms, account creation, newsletter signup), we clearly indicate the purpose(s) of use. If we change the purpose, we will announce or notify the new purpose and obtain consent when required by law. 

5) Maintenance of the Accuracy of Data

We strive to keep personal data accurate and up to date to the extent necessary for the purposes of use, and delete it when it is no longer needed. 

6) Security Control Measures

We implement organizational, human, physical, and technical measures to prevent leakage, loss, or damage of personal data and to otherwise securely manage it, including:

  • Access control, least-privilege management, and logging
  • Encryption and secure transmission where appropriate
  • Employee confidentiality commitments and periodic training
  • Vendor risk assessment and contractual safeguards 
    We also retain records of third-party provisions as required by APPI. 

7) Supervision of Employees

We provide necessary supervision and training to officers, employees, and contractors who handle personal information to ensure proper handling and security.

8) Supervision of Trustees 

When we entrust handling of personal data to a service provider, we select entities meeting adequate protection standards and supervise them as necessary and appropriate through contracts and audits. 

9) Restriction of Provision to Third Parties 

We do not provide personal data to third parties without obtaining prior consent except where permitted by APPI (e.g., required by law, protection of life/body/property, etc.). When providing or receiving personal data from third parties, we maintain required records under APPI. For cross-border transfers, we follow APPI requirements (e.g., consent or ensuring equivalent protective measures).

Opt-Out Provision 

If we use the APPI “opt-out” mechanism for third-party provision, we will publicly announce required items in advance (items provided, method, stop-request process) and file necessary notices as required by APPI. Users can request us to stop such provision at any time. 

10) Public Announcement of Matters Concerning Retained Personal Data

With respect to retained personal data (data over which we have authority to disclose/correct/suspend), we publicly announce:

  • Purposes of use
  • Procedures for requests (disclosure, correction, addition, deletion, suspension of use/provision)
  • Contact point for inquiries and complaints
  • Fees (if any)
  • Security measures outline (to the extent disclosure will not impede security)
    “Retained personal data” is defined by APPI. 

11) Disclosure, Correction, Suspension of Use, and Explanation of Reasons (with exceptions)

Upon request by the data subject or their representative, we will respond without delay to:

  • Disclosure of retained personal data and records of third-party provision
  • Correction/addition/deletion where data is inaccurate
  • Suspension of use/erasure or suspension of third-party provision where handling violates APPI or where the data subject withdraws consent and no other legal basis applies
    We may decline (in whole or part) where an APPI exception applies (e.g., risk to life/body/property/other rights, significant interference with proper operations, violation of law), and we will explain the reason(s).

12) Procedures to Meet Requests for Disclosure and Others

  • Required forms of identification (and, if applicable, representative authority)
  • Request items (disclosure, correction, etc.) and scope

    We may verify identity and keep necessary records as required by APPI. PPC

13) Collection of Reports / Government Oversight

We may be required to submit reports or cooperate with the competent authority (Personal Information Protection Commission) to the extent necessary for APPI implementation. PPC

  • Identifiers (name, email, phone, address), company/role, inquiry details
