When required by law.
When necessary for the protection of the life, body, or property of an individual and it is difficult to obtain the consent of the individual.

Can I check my privacy information or ask for it to be deleted?
When we receive a request from an individual to disclose his or her "personal information" (not including "history information and characteristic information"), we will disclose it to the person without delay. However, if disclosure is likely to harm the life, body, property, or other rights or interests of the person or a third party, or if disclosure is likely to significantly impede the proper execution of the Company's business, or if disclosure would violate laws and regulations, the Company may not disclose all or part of the information. In the event that we decide not to disclose the information, we will notify you to that effect without delay.
A fee of 1,000 yen will be charged for each disclosure of personal information.

If the Company receives such a request from the User and determines that it is necessary to respond to the request, the Company will delete the personal information without delay and notify the User of this.

Can I request that you stop using my privacy information?
If you request us to stop using or erase your privacy information (hereinafter referred to as "stop using") because your privacy information is being handled beyond the scope of the purpose of use or because your privacy information was obtained by illegal means, we will conduct the necessary investigation without delay, stop using your privacy information based on the results, and notify you to that effect.
However, in cases where it is difficult to suspend the use of privacy information due to the need to incur significant costs or other reasons, and where alternative measures necessary to protect the rights and interests of the individual can be taken, such alternative measures will be taken.
