4. Restrictions on Use
Except where permitted by the APPI or other laws and regulations, we will not handle personal information beyond the scope necessary to achieve the purposes of use without the customer’s consent. However, this restriction does not apply in the following cases:

We will take necessary and appropriate security measures to prevent loss, destruction, falsification, or leakage of personal information, and we will appropriately supervise our employees and contractors.

8. Disclosure
Upon confirming that the request is from the individual concerned, we will promptly disclose personal information as required by law (and will notify if the information does not exist). However, this does not apply when we are not legally obligated to disclose such information.
9. Correction, etc.
If a customer requests correction, addition, or deletion (“correction, etc.”) of personal information on the grounds that it is not true, we will investigate promptly within the necessary scope and, based on the results, make the correction, etc., and notify the individual. However, if we decide not to make the correction, we will notify the individual accordingly. This does not apply when we are not legally obligated to take such actions.
10. Suspension of Use, etc.
If it is found that personal information has been handled beyond the scope of the publicly announced purposes of use or obtained by improper means, and there are reasonable grounds for the customer’s request, we will promptly suspend or delete the use (“suspension of use, etc.”) and notify the individual. However, this does not apply when we are not legally obligated to take such actions.
