nRestrictions on the use of personal information by purpose

If it is necessary to use the personal information of members for anything beyond the purposes listed above, the association will communicate that purpose to the members involved in advance. If a member does not provide the association with personal information, the rights of the member will be restricted in some association activities.

Safe management measures/ Supervision of contractors

The association provides personal information in contracting work out to contractors that the association has judged trustworthy and that have concluded a nondisclosure agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Contractors”) in order to provide services for members efficiently. The association only provides Contractors the necessary information within the scope of the required purpose and prohibits the use of that information for anything other than the purpose of service provision.

Presentation of personal information

The association does not present the personal information of members to third parties other than Contractors without obtaining the consent of members. However, if the provision of the personal information of members is required for reasons of management of the association, the association may provide a list of all members, limited to the personal information required, to related government agencies and organizations (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan Patent Office, The Japanese Association of Medical Sciences, etc.).

Furthermore, if presentation has been demanded for legal reasons, or if presentation has been demanded by a public organization such as a court or police station, the association may provide personal information without obtaining the consent of members.
