Privacy Policy
Nextremer Co., Ltd. ("the Company") recognizes the importance of personal information, considers its protection to be a social responsibility, and strives to comply with laws relating to personal information and to handle personal information appropriately. The Company hereby establishes the following Privacy Policy ("this Policy").
■ Article 1: Basic Policy on the Protection of Personal Information
All of our employees strive to protect and appropriately handle the personal information they deal with in the course of their work, making every effort to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or leakage, and endeavoring to ensure the safe management of personal information.
■ Article 2: Scope of Application
This Policy sets out the principles that we comply with when handling personal information, or information equivalent thereto, of our customers in connection with the various services we provide. In providing each service, we will publish clear and appropriate provisions regarding the acquisition of personal information for that service. Where there is any discrepancy between the terms of use for an individual service and this Policy, the terms of use for that service shall take precedence.
■ Article 3: Collection of Personal Information
We will not collect or use personal information without the consent of the individual concerned. However, in our data provision business described in Article 10, personal information of people captured in data received from data sources who have not consented to its provision is acquired and used in accordance with the purpose of use and handling set out in Article 10 (including blurring or other processing before provision). Even when obtaining consent, we will clarify the purpose and scope of use in advance and will use the information only within the scope of the consent obtained. When we receive data containing personal information from a third party, we will do so only under an appropriate agreement regarding the protection of personal information.
■ Article 4: Use of Personal Information
We use personal information within the scope of the purposes for which it was obtained, to the extent necessary for the performance of our business. Where we intend to use personal information for a purpose not previously notified, we will first obtain the consent of the individual concerned.
■ Article 5: Anonymously Processed Information
We create anonymously processed information and provide it to third parties within the scope prescribed by law, having implemented appropriate protective measures to ensure that specific individuals cannot be identified and that the personal information used to create such information cannot be restored. Items contained in anonymously processed information are handled so that information linked to individuals cannot be identified. Anonymously processed information is provided by encrypting the data file and using a method with appropriate security measures in place.
■ Article 6: Management of Personal Information
Personal information we receive is stored safely under strict management. We have established a person responsible for management within our company regarding the handling of personal information, and designate a person in charge of handling for each set of data containing personal information, appropriately managing records of receipt, storage location records, access permissions, and disposal records.
■ Article 7: Implementation of Security Measures
As measures necessary for the protection of personal information, we provide personal information protection education to all employees, require the installation of security software on all PCs used for business, and establish PC security guidelines, regularly checking compliance with them, in order to ensure the safe management of personal information.
■ Article 8: Provision of Personal Information to Third Parties
When outsourcing the processing of personal information or in similar cases, we provide information only under an appropriate agreement regarding the protection of personal information, and do so under our strict management. We may also provide personal information to third parties with the consent of the individual concerned or where based on laws and regulations.
■ Article 9: Compliance with Laws Related to Personal Information
We comply with laws and other norms relating to personal information.
■ Article 10: Use of Personal Information in Our Data Provision Business
We use personal information in order to process video, image, audio, and other data received from data sources (companies or individuals that provide data), and to provide and sell such data to companies and research institutions in Japan and overseas as training data for the development of AI and robotics technologies. Before providing such data, we apply blurring or other processing to information that could identify individuals, such as the faces of people captured in the data who have not consented to its provision. For information on provision to recipients located outside Japan, please see "Cross-Border Data Transfer" (https://www.nextremer.com/cross-border-data-transfer).
■ Article 11: Requests for Disclosure, etc.
When we receive a request from an individual concerning the personal data we hold about them (including records of consent to the provision of data) for notification of the purpose of use, disclosure, correction, addition, or deletion of its content, suspension of use or erasure, suspension of provision to third parties, or disclosure of records of provision to third parties (collectively, "Disclosure, etc."), we will respond without delay in accordance with applicable laws after verifying the identity of the individual. Please submit requests for Disclosure, etc. by e-mail to the contact point set out in Article 12. We verify identity either by communication from the e-mail address you have registered with us or by submission of a copy of an identity verification document. For requests made by an agent, we ask that you submit a power of attorney and an identity verification document for the agent. We do not charge a fee for requests for Disclosure, etc.
