We have created appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access to personal information, and to prevent the loss, falsification, and leakage of personal information. In cases in which we consign the handling of personal information to a third party, we have measures necessary for the thorough management and supervision of the third party, including the signing of a contract with that third party that includes measures for securely managing the information. We thoroughly enforce the rules we have made for handling personal information and we constantly improve these rules.
