SEKISUI will prepare and establish Rules on the Protection of Personal Information and shall ensure that any and all of its employees (including directors, regular employees, part-time workers and temporary employees) comply with these Rules. SEKISUI will revise and improve these Rules from time to time as required.

SEKISUI will take proper security measures, such as antivirus measures or measures against unauthorized access, to prevent any loss, damage, alteration or leakage of Personal Information.

SEKISUI will obtain the Personal Information only in a legal and proper manner. SEKISUI will never obtain Personal Information by illegal or illicit means. Before using Personal Information, SEKISUI will obtain the prior consent of the customers or notify them of the information required via SEKISUI's website in relation to the purposes of its use.

SEKISUI will use Personal Information only for the purposes of use as separately determined to the extent required for the operation of its business, provided, however, that under any of the following conditions, SEKISUI may disclose any Personal Information to a third party or may use it for a purpose other than its designated use without the prior consent of the customer:

(1) when required by laws and regulations;

(2) when necessary for the protection of human life, body or property and it is difficult to obtain the prior consent of the customer from whom such Personal Information originates;

(3) when it is specifically required for the promotion of improvements in public health or the wholesome development of children and it is difficult to obtain the prior consent of the customer from whom such Personal Information originates; or

(4) when cooperation is requested in relation to work regulated by laws and regulations and conducted by a national agency, public organization of the local government or a party subcontracted by them, and obtaining the prior consent of the customer from whom such Personal Information originates may adversely affect the work.

SEKISUI hereby confirms that the customer has the right to request SEKISUI to disclose, correct, discontinue the use of or delete Company-owned Personal Data (as separately defined) that may identify such customer, and will properly deal with such requests.

SEKISUI will properly deal with any and all complaints made by customers related to the handling of Personal Information (Please see "Questions and Inquiries related to Personal Information").

When disclosing certain items of Personal Information to a third party (subcontractor) for the purpose of contracting out some portion of the work, SEKISUI will take all necessary measures to supervise such subcontractors for the protection of the Personal Information.

When sharing Personal Information with predetermined third parties, SEKISUI will, directly or via SEKISUI's website, give prior notification to the customers related thereto, including the Personal Information to be shared, the scope and purposes of use by such third parties and the party responsible in relation to the sharing of the Personal Information.
