Privacy Policy

ABCD Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) handles the personal information of both customers and employees in the course of its business operations. We regard the protection of personal information as a fundamental element of our business activities and a key social responsibility. Based on this Privacy Policy, we ensure the proper handling of personal information.

Article 1 (Appropriate Acquisition, Use, and Provision of Personal Information)

The Company acquires personal information through appropriate means, limited to the extent necessary for business operations. We use personal information within the scope of the purposes we have specified in advance. Should we need to change these purposes, we will provide prior notification and obtain consent from the individual concerned before proceeding. Except when outsourcing tasks, we will not provide personal information to any third party without the individual’s consent. To prevent unauthorized use or provision for purposes other than those intended, the Company’s Personal Information Protection Manager verifies the propriety of any use or provision of personal information. We also reinforce our internal controls through self-checks and internal audits.

Article 2 (Safety Measures for Protecting Personal Information)

1.Preventive Measures Against Leakage, Loss, or Damage

The Company implements appropriate security measures to prevent the leakage, loss, or damage of personal information. We also provide training and supervision to our employees to ensure these measures are thoroughly applied. When outsourcing personal information handling to external parties, we select and oversee such parties with strict caution.

2.Corrective Measures Against Leakage, Loss, or Damage

If any leakage, loss, or damage of personal information occurs, we will prioritize preventing further harm and promptly take corrective action. We will investigate the cause and strive to prevent recurrence. Additionally, we will report incident-related information to relevant stakeholders and authorities as needed.

Article 3 (Compliance with Laws, National Guidelines, and Other Standards)

The Company complies with applicable laws and regulations related to the handling of personal information, as well as government-issued guidelines and standards set forth by affiliated organizations.

Article 1 (Use of Cookies)

The Company may use cookies and similar technologies to improve the usability of this website. A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser when you view a website; it does not identify you personally on its own.

1. Cookies used on this website

This website uses cookies and similar technologies for two purposes.

(1) Understanding how the site is used
To improve this website we use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, both provided by Google LLC. Through these services, information such as the pages you view, how long you stay, where you arrived from, your IP address and your browser details is sent to Google LLC, and Google may set its own cookies. We use this information only for statistical analysis and never to identify you personally. For how that information is handled, please see the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

(2) Displaying a map
The Google Maps embed on our Corporate Profile page (a mapping service provided by Google LLC) may cause Google LLC to set its own cookies and receive information such as your IP address.

This website does not use cookies for advertising.

2. reCAPTCHA on the contact form

Our contact form is protected by reCAPTCHA v3, provided by Google LLC, to prevent automated and abusive submissions. In connection with this, your IP address, browser information and information about how you interact with the page may be sent to Google LLC, and Google may set its own cookies. For how that information is handled, please see the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

reCAPTCHA is loaded only once you begin filling in the contact form; nothing is sent to Google if you do not use the form. Because it is necessary to keep the form secure, it cannot be switched off in the way the map can. If you would prefer to reach us without using the form, please contact the desk listed in this policy.

3. Obtaining and withdrawing consent

All of the cookies described in section 1 are used only if you consent. We ask on your first visit, in a banner at the bottom of the screen. If you decline, we record nothing about how you use the site and the map is not displayed; all other content remains available as usual.

Until you consent, Google Analytics is held in a state that stores no cookies and sends no identifiers (Google Consent Mode).

You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing this website’s site data in your browser settings. You may also configure your browser to refuse cookies altogether, in which case some features may not be available. You can also stop collection by Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. How your choice is recorded

Your choice is recorded in your browser’s local storage rather than in a cookie, and it is never transmitted to our servers.
