INTAGE Inc. (hereinafter "INTAGE") respects and strives to protect the privacy of users of this website (www.intage.co.jp). The basic policy concerning user privacy applicable to this website is set forth below.

INTAGE may request personal information such as the website user's name, e-mail address, and company name when it receives inquiries, comments, or opinions from users concerning INTAGE on this website or in other circumstances. In principle, INTAGE uses this information within the scope of the purpose of use indicated when requesting the user to provide the information, such as for answering inquiries.

INTAGE does not use such personal information outside the scope of the indicated purpose of use without the prior consent of the user. Users who wish to have personal information recorded on this website deleted or amended can do so by contacting INTAGE. INTAGE will promptly comply with such requests.

INTAGE may disclose or share a user's personal information in the following exceptional circumstances:

• If the user has consented to the disclosure or sharing of information
• If disclosure or sharing of information is judged to be necessary for the purpose of providing products or services the user desires.
• If INTAGE has received a formal inquiry under the law from a public body such as a court of law or the police.
• If disclosure or sharing of information is judged to be necessary for the purpose of protecting, the rights, assets, or services of INTAGE or another user.

From time to time INTAGE entrusts user personal information to vendors with which it has entered into non-disclosure agreements. In other situations where INTAGE discloses to business partners or third-party research institutions or publishes on the website "statistical information" based on requested personal information, except in the aforementioned exceptional circumstances such statistical information does contain personal information. An example of statistical information is the ratio of males and females making inquiries on the website. This type of data is used to improve the information provided to website users.

An access log of website user IP addresses is compiled for the purpose of system management. The access log is used to survey the circumstances of website use. When a user accesses the homepage or any other page of the website, the server records the user's IP address, browser type, and the date and time of access.

Ordinarily the access log is statistically processed and is not linked to personal information. However, the access log may be used to establish the identity of a user if it is judged to be necessary for the purpose of protecting, the rights, assets, or services of INTAGE or another user.

INTAGE may transmit cookies via this website to users' computers. Cookies stored on a user's computers are used for the purpose of identifying the computer and promoting user convenience.。
