Privacy Policy

TABS will observe the following privacy policy in its business activities, while recognizing the value and usefulness of personal data.

1. Compliance with Laws and Regulations
   TABS will comply with all laws and regulations related to personal data.
2. Specification of Use
   Whenever TABS asks for personal information, it will specify in advance the purposes for which such information will be used, and will restrict the use to those purposes. If TABS should ever need to use personal data for purposes other than those specified, it shall inform the individuals concerned of the additional purposes. Any individual may refuse to have personal data used for such additional purposes. Individuals who do not wish to provide TABS with personal data can withhold consent, though doing so may prevent access to certain services that TABS provides.
3. Non-disclosure to Third Parties
   In principle, TABS does not disclose or provide personal data to third parties, except in the following circumstances.

5. When a judicial order or the like obliges TABS to disclose personal data.
6. When business is transferred to another entity by way of a merger, corporate separation or otherwise.

   Individuals who wish to confirm their personal data should contact the section responsible for the services where they input the information. TABS will provide the personal data that it has when it has confirmed that the individual making the inquiry is the person concerned. This restriction applies to prevent leakage of personal data to third parties. When personal data contains errors or needs to be updated, TABS will make the required changes, when it has confirmed that the individual making the request is the person concerned.
