Privacy policy

This is an English translation of the privacy policy of Artiql Inc., which operates Circular Economy Hub and Circular Economy Hub Japan. Where the Japanese and English versions differ, the Japanese version prevails.

Personal information protection policy

Artiql Inc. (the “Company”) receives personal information such as your name, email address, age, address and telephone number in the course of providing its services, including the inquiry form on this website.

The Company strives to protect personal information and to earn the trust and confidence of the people it works with. The Company complies with the laws and regulations that apply to personal information and handles personal information appropriately.

Use of personal information

Personal information you provide is used only to carry out the relevant business, including responding to your inquiry, and to analyse usage trends in order to improve our services.

Protection of personal information

The Company takes the measures that are necessary and appropriate to prevent the leakage, loss or damage of the personal information it handles and to otherwise keep personal information secure.

Disclosure of personal information

The Company does not disclose personal information you have provided to third parties other than the Company and partner companies bound by confidentiality agreements without your consent. Personal information may, however, be disclosed in the following cases:

  • (1) where you have consented to the disclosure;
  • (2) where disclosure is required under legal proceedings;
  • (3) where you are judged to be causing harm to a third party;
  • (4) where the Company discloses statistical information collected to analyse how this website is used, from which individuals cannot be identified.

Correction of personal information

If personal information is inaccurate and you request its correction, addition or deletion, the Company will investigate and respond promptly. The Company will not act on such requests where it cannot confirm that the request comes from the person concerned.

Management of personal information

The Company ensures that all staff, whether full-time employees, contract employees or part-time workers, manage personal information rigorously and takes the utmost care to prevent it from being disclosed outside the Company.

General notes

Please note that if you voluntarily disclose personal information on the internet, that information may be collected and used by other users. You publish information at your own responsibility.

Websites and services of third-party companies and organisations that can be reached from this website, and companies that collect data through prize draws or promotions, have their own privacy policies, data-collection rules and practices, independent of the Company. The Company accepts no obligation or responsibility for these independent policies and practices.
