Provision of Personal Information to Third Parties

We do not provide personal information to third parties without your consent, except where permitted by applicable law. When seeking consent, we specify the recipient and the information to be provided. The following are examples of circumstances in which personal information may be provided, subject to applicable law:

• When necessary to protect a person’s life, body or property, and it is difficult to obtain consent
• When particularly necessary to improve public health or support the healthy development of children, and obtaining your consent is difficult
• When necessary to help a government body, local authority or a party acting on their behalf carry out duties prescribed by law, and seeking your consent could impede those duties
• When disclosure is required or otherwise permitted by applicable law, including legally authorized requests from courts or law-enforcement authorities
• When you expressly request disclosure or provision to a third party
• When disclosure or provision is permitted by law
• When providing personal information due to business succession caused by merger or other reasons, and it is handled within the scope of the purposes of use before the succession

Disclaimer Regarding Provision to Third Parties

Third parties are responsible for their own handling of personal information in the following cases. This does not limit our responsibilities under applicable law.

• When the user themselves discloses personal information to client organizations, using the functions of this service or other means (for the handling of personal information by client organizations, please contact each using company directly)
• When the user is identified unintentionally through information entered in this service
• When personal information is provided and used by external sites linked from this service
• When someone other than the user obtains and uses information that can identify the user (ID, password, etc.)

Outsourcing of Personal Information Processing

Our company may outsource part or all of the personal information handling operations. Outsourcing does not relieve us of our obligations under applicable law, including appropriate supervision of service providers.

Use of Statistically Processed Data

We may create and use statistical data that cannot identify individuals.

Requests Concerning Your Personal Information

You or an authorized representative may request notification of the purposes of use, access to, correction, addition or deletion of, suspension of use of, or suspension of provision to third parties of your personal information, as provided by applicable law. For requests concerning your personal information, please contact us at info.ozashiki@miyakodori.art. We respond to each type of request in accordance with applicable law; for example, we may decline a request for disclosure in the following cases:

• If disclosure could harm your or a third party’s life, physical safety, property, or other rights or interests
• If disclosure could seriously interfere with the proper conduct of our business
• If disclosure would violate another law or regulation

Where applicable law permits an alternative measure to protect your rights and interests because suspension of use or of third-party provision would be very costly or otherwise difficult, we may take that measure instead.

Accuracy of Personal Information

We strive to keep personal information accurate. Please make sure the information you provide is accurate and up to date.

Restrictions on Acquiring Sensitive Personal Information

Our company generally does not acquire personal information that includes the following content. However, this does not apply if the user provides it themselves:

• Health and sex life

About Identity Verification

Our company verifies the identity of individuals using information that can identify the person (name, address, telephone number, email address, etc.) when responding to requests for disclosure, correction, deletion, or suspension of use of personal information. This does not limit our responsibilities under applicable law.

Acquisition and Use of Attribute Information, Device Information, Location Information, Behavioral History, etc.

Regarding attribute information, device information, location information, behavioral history, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “behavioral history, etc.”) including cookies:
