ABOUT K’s
Personal information protection policy
Our company’s mission is to plan and provide every kind of information culture to local communities through information systems.
In recent years, due to the sophistication of systems, we have been in a position to know and handle all kinds of information about public entities and companies (hereinafter referred to as “customers”) in the planning and construction phases.
Such acquired information, the information received, and the constructed system functions are important confidential information on the fundamental organizational functions and sensitive data of customers, and important intellectual property for our company in the course of our business.
It is obvious that if such information, software assets, and our company’s intellectual property (hereinafter referred to as “information assets”) were to be leaked outside our company, it would lead to social chaos, loss of trust, and a threat to the survival of our company.
Preventing the leakage and loss of these information assets is a social mission and an important management issue, and individual employees must be aware of this social mission and take responsibility and obligation for ensuring the security of information assets.
In addition, as an organization, we shall establish and maintain effective security functions, comply with the “Personal information protection policy” specified herein, and take responsibility for earning the trust of society and our customers.
- With respect to the acquisition, use, and provision of personal information, our company shall identify the purpose of use, obtain the consent of customers to the extent necessary to achieve such a purpose, thoroughly ensure that such information is obtained by legal and fair means, and strictly prohibit use for purposes other than those specified. In addition, measures will be taken to ensure that the information is not used for any other purpose.
- Strict control will be exercised over the personal information obtained, and appropriate preventive and corrective measures will be taken to prevent leakage, loss, or damage.
- We comply with laws, regulations, national guidelines, and other norms regarding the handling of personal information.
- We sincerely respond to complaints and inquiries regarding personal information.
- In operating the personal information protection management system, we will implement periodic internal audits and external reviews. In addition, continuous improvements will be made through periodic reviews.
- This personal information protection policy will be made known to all employees and disclosed through our website and other means.
