VegeProject Japan establishes this Privacy Policy for the handling of personal information it obtains and complies with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, guidelines concerning the protection of personal information, and other applicable laws and regulations concerning personal information protection.
1. Personal Information
“Personal information” means personal information under the Act on the Protection of Personal Information. It refers to information about a living individual that can identify a specific person through the name, date of birth, address, telephone number, contact information, or other description contained in that information. It also includes data relating to appearance, fingerprints, and voiceprints, and information that can identify a specific individual on its own, such as the insurer number on a health insurance card (“individual identification information”).
2. Security Management of Personal Information
VegeProject Japan implements appropriate organizational, physical, personnel, and technical measures to protect personal information. We take necessary and appropriate measures to prevent the leakage, loss, or damage of personal information we handle and to otherwise securely manage it.
3. How Personal Information Is Collected
To the extent necessary to operate the online information website managed by VegeProject Japan (the “Website”), we may obtain personal information concerning general users of the Website (“Users”) or persons who place advertisements on the Website (“Advertisers”).
4. Purposes of Using Personal Information
Except as provided by law or when the individual has given consent, VegeProject Japan will not use personal information it obtains beyond the extent necessary to achieve the following purposes:

5. Disclosure, Correction, and Other Handling of Personal Information

We will also respond appropriately to opinions and consultations.
6. Changes to the Purposes of Use
As a general rule, VegeProject Japan will not change the purposes of use specified above without obtaining the individual’s prior consent. This does not apply when a change is made after the revised purpose of use has been announced in advance and the change is reasonably considered to be substantially related to the previous purpose of use.
7. Provision of Personal Information to Third Parties
When VegeProject Japan entrusts all or part of the handling of personal information to a third party, we will thoroughly examine that party’s suitability and provide the necessary and appropriate supervision to ensure the secure management of the entrusted personal information.

VegeProject Japan will inspect its handling of personal information, management systems, and initiatives and will continuously improve and review them.
9. Deletion and Disposal of Personal Information
When personal information is no longer necessary in light of its purpose of use, VegeProject Japan will delete or dispose of it. Such deletion or disposal will be carried out as required in the course of business using necessary and appropriate methods to prevent the risk of external leakage and similar incidents.
