Handling of personal information

You may be contacted by email for purposes of clarification if parts of your application are unclear.

Nikkei, as a secretariat of these webinar series collects personal information on the registration form such as name, country/region of residence, gender, age, industry, position, and email address.

Nikkei will use your personal information for the managing, contacting and sending necessary materials related to the webinar series. Nikkei will also use the information statistically for further development and enhancement of future events. However, Nikkei will not use a method that is likely to foment or prompt unlawful or unjust act in using your personal information.

Nikkei will provide your personal information to a third party only when we have a lawful basis for doing so.

Nikkei will provide personal information to some third parties such as service providers. Nikkei engages service providers who support the webinar series. These service providers include, for example, but not limited to, event agencies and event management service providers. They can only use your personal information under Nikkei’s instruction.

When we provide your personal information to a third party in a country or jurisdiction outside of Japan, we will do so after obtaining your consent providing you with general information on the personal information protection system in the country or jurisdiction, excluding the following cases:

  • In case Japanese laws and regulations approve that the country or jurisdiction has a personal information protection system equivalent to that of Japan; or
  • In case the third party has a system for taking continuous action equivalent to the obligation of a Japanese business operator handling personal information. In this second case, Nikkei will take proper measure for securing the continuous equivalent action of the third party.

Apart from the above, Nikkei may also provide your personal information to relevant third parties to comply with applicable laws, court orders or other valid legal processes, to enforce any of our other rights, to protect and defend Nikkei's rights, assets and properties, and to protect the safety, asset or property of you or the public.

Nikkei will endeavor to handle your personal information in compliance with the Personal Information Protection Law and other related laws and regulations.

We always process personal data on a lawful basis, such as your consent, legitimate business purposes, contractual necessity and legal obligation.

Personal data may be transferred to countries or jurisdictions outside the EEA or UK. Please note that such countries or jurisdictions may not have the same data protection laws as the EEA or UK, and would not afford many of the rights conferred upon you in the EEA or UK.

We will put in place reasonable safeguards to protect information that is transferred in this way.

You have the right to access your personal data, request to delete your personal data, request to limit and/or object to the processing of your personal data, and request data portability with regards to your personal data.
