Additional Use and Provision of Personal Information

In accordance with the PIPA, we may use or provide personal information within the scope of what is reasonably related to the initial purpose of the collection, in consideration of whether disadvantages have been caused to data subjects and whether necessary measures have been taken to secure such as encryption, etc.  We will determine with due care whether to use or provide personal information in consideration of general circumstances including relevant laws and regulations such as the PIPA, the purpose of use or provision of personal information, how personal information will be used or provided, the items of personal information to be used or provided, matters to which data subjects have provided consent or which were notified/disclosed to data subjects, impact on data subjects upon the use or provision, and measures taken to protect subject information.  Specific considerations are as follows:

 

  • whether the additional use/provision is related to the initial purpose of the collection;
  • whether the additional use/provision is foreseeable in light of the circumstances under which personal information was collected and practices regarding processing;
  • whether the additional use/provision unfairly infringes on the interests of the data subject; and
