Handling of Personal Information
TechComm Simulation
(hereinafter referred to as "TCS") respect your
privacy and is committed to protecting it. TCS provides this
Privacy Statement to inform you of our Privacy Policy and practices and of the choices you
can make about the way your information is collected online and how that information is
used.
In principle, you may use
most of the services provided through Web sites run by TCS or on the Internet, without
disclosing your personal information. For specific services, however, you may be asked to
provide your personal information, in which case TCS or our partners shall be required to
keep such information confidential.
Furthermore, TCS is fully aware
of the importance of safeguarding the privacy of such information when handling electronic
information. In some cases, TCS may subcontract the management of a specific Web site,
whole or a part thereof, to an outside firm that TCS judges to be trustworthy. The
personal information of each individual user is protected also in these cases under TCS's
rules of handling personal information.
Personal information mentioned herein and defined by TCS refers to information of all
kinds related to each individual person (the name, residential address, mailing address,
employer's name, department name, phone number, opinions, and so on) that is
electronically transmitted to TCS by users.
In order to make your Web site browsing more efficient or to provide follow-up services
after Web site browsing, TCS may ask users to provide personal information in the case of:
-online user registration
-requesting catalogs
-answering questionnaires
-registering subscriptions to newsletters or the like
-ordering products or providing services
-allow user access to limited-entry areas of this Web site as appropriate
-other cases
TCS occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on its behalf,
including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering user questions about
products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. TCS will only
provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are
prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
In all cases, TCS will expressly state why such information is necessary, so that you may
provide the information at your own discretion. TCS will not disclose personal information
provided by users to any party, other than TCS itself or TCS’s affiliates or business
partners, without prior permission from the users, except in cases where TCS provides its
commissioned trader with such information necessary for a trade to be executed.
However, in cases where a settlement needs to be made for using pay services or purchasing
products, TCS may exchange personal information with firms, including without limitation,
financial institutions, in order to check the validity of bank accounts and/or credit
cards. Likewise, TCS may disclose personal information in case such disclosure is
mandatory under applicable laws or is reasonably judged to be essential in order to
protect and safeguard the rights, property and safety of other users, TCS itself, and/or
TCS's affiliates.
For the purpose of product development, identification of business needs, and sales
promotion, TCS may use personal information, personal opinions, and the like presented by
users, though such use shall be limited only to TCS itself and TCS's affiliates and
business partners.
TCS will accept, to a reasonable extent, such possible user requests as making corrections
or deletions to personal information presented by users.
TCS may use the IP addresses of users recorded in the system, in order to explore the
cause of or solution to any problem arising in servers, or to administer its Web sites.
In some cases, this specific Web site may contain other notices about the use and the
information practices applicable.
Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, TCS
decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganise businesses in some countries. Such a
transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual
purchasers, or receiving it from sellers. It is TCS’s practice to seek appropriate
protection for information in these types of transactions.
Please be aware that in certain circumstances, it is possible that personal information
may be subject to disclosure pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants,
or order.
This Web site may contain links to other web sites. TCS is not responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of those other web sites.
