Countermeasures against hacking
The company does its best to prevent members’ personal information from being disclosed or compromised by hacking or computer viruses.
The materials are regularly backed up to prevent damage of personal information. The most up-to-date vaccine program is used to prevent leakage or damage of users’ personal information or materials. A user’s important personal information (resident registration number, etc.) is encrypted. All personal information are safely encrypted and transferred on the network.
Also, we use firewall to control unauthorized access from an external source. In order to secure system-wide security, we strive to be equipped with all the possible technological devices.
Minimization and education of the person in charge of personal information management
The company’s handling of personal information is limited to responsible persons. For this, separate passwords are given for long-term revision while regular/frequent education for the responsible persons has been conducted. Especially, we emphasize personal information of applicants.
Operation of an organization exclusively used for protection of personal information
Through the organization established exclusively for internal protection of personal information, compliance with the company’s Personal Information Handling Policies and others on the part of the responsible persons is checked.
