Article 2 (How Personal Information Is Collected)

When a user registers for the services, the Company may ask for personal information such as name, date of birth, address, telephone number, email address, bank account number, credit card number and driver's license number. The Company may also collect information that includes personal information, such as records of transactions and payment information between the user and the Company's partners (including information providers, advertisers and advertising distributors; the "Partners"), from those Partners.

• Where it is necessary to protect a person's life, body or property and it is difficult to obtain the individual's consent
• Where it is especially necessary to improve public health or promote the sound development of children and it is difficult to obtain the individual's consent
• Where it is necessary to cooperate with a national agency, a local government or a party entrusted by either of them in carrying out affairs prescribed by law, and obtaining the individual's consent is likely to impede those affairs

Article 6 (Disclosure of Personal Information)

1. When an individual requests disclosure of their personal information, the Company will disclose it without delay. However, the Company may withhold all or part of it where disclosure would fall under any of the following, and will notify the individual without delay if it decides not to disclose. A fee of 1,000 yen per request is charged for disclosure.

3. The Company will notify the user without delay when it has made a Correction under the preceding paragraph or decided not to.

Article 8 (Suspension of Use of Personal Information)

1. Where an individual requests that the use of their personal information be suspended or that it be erased (a "Suspension") on the grounds that it is being handled beyond the scope of the purpose of use or was obtained by improper means, the Company will conduct the necessary investigation without delay.
2. Where, based on the results of that investigation, the Company determines that the request needs to be granted, it will carry out the Suspension without delay.
3. The Company will notify the user without delay when it has carried out a Suspension under the preceding paragraph or decided not to.
