Definition of Personal Information

The term “Personal Information” refers to any information, such as name, email address, phone number etc., that can specifically identify an individual customer. In addition, any other information that is not directly related to the customer, but still can identify them through association, is also considered as Personal Information. We obtain information from customers through questionnaires and this website.

Usage of Personal Information

We may use any information obtained at the time of registration, purchase, newsletter sign up, surveys or marketing communication response, web browsing, or usage of other site features, in the following ways:

  1. For sending periodic emails regarding the ordered product(s), other products and services.
  2. For improving our Website to better serve the customers.
  3. For correspondence purposes, such as responding to customer inquiries

We shall not use customer personal information for objectives other than what both parties have agreed upon. In any event where Personal Information is used for objectives outside the agreement, permission from the customer shall be obtained.

Protection of Personal Information

All necessary measures will be taken to maintain the security of Personal Information. This includes the maintenance of the security system and the further development of the company structure.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Any Personal Information shall not be disclosed to a third party except in the following situations:

  1. If prior consent has been obtained from the individual
  2. If outsourcing to an outside party to provide services to the customer is necessary.
  3. If Personal Information is offered to a third party as data that was statistically processed to prevent disclosure of an individual’s name.
  4. If agreed upon by both parties that the Personal Information will remain confidential, will not be redistributed, and will share responsibilities in the event of an accident etc., and that the third party secures the Personal Information the same way Hirota Glass Inc., Ltd. does.
  5. If Personal Information is requested by government offices including the Ministry of Justice, the Public Prosecutors office, and the police.
