2. Cookies and IP Address Information

Our company do not consider Cookies and IP address information as personal information since they cannot identify a specific individual on their own. However, if they are used in conjunction with personal information, they will also be considered personal information. In our media operations, even if these cannot identify a specific individual, we will disclose the purpose and method of use if cookies and IP address information are used. Additionally, cookie information can be rejected by setting the browser options. If the service cannot be used due to the rejection of cookies, we will also publicly announce it.

In handling personal information, the company will specify the purpose of use to the extent possible.

4. Restrictions on the Use of Personal Information

Our company will not handle personal information beyond the scope necessary to achieve the purpose of use without obtaining prior consent from the individual. Even if personal information is obtained due to a merger or other reasons, it will not be handled beyond the scope of the purpose of use before the succession without obtaining prior consent from the individual. However, this does not apply in the following cases:

1. When required by the law.

Our company will obtain personal information appropriately and will not obtain it by means of fraud or other improper means. We will also take care not to indiscriminately collect personal information from children under the age of 15 without the consent of their guardians.
