We take the following measures to prevent leaks, loss or damage of personal data and otherwise keep it secure.

  • Basic policy: we have set out and published this policy.
  • Organisational and personnel measures: we have appointed a person responsible for handling personal data and limit who handles it.
  • Physical measures: we keep devices used to handle personal data safe from theft and loss, and out of view of third parties.
  • Technical measures: communications are encrypted (HTTPS), and access to the mailbox and administrative screens is restricted by authentication. The credentials used to send email are held only as secret settings on our server. The contact form accepts submissions only from the Site's own pages.
  • Understanding the external environment: we entrust the handling of personal data to a US company (Cloudflare, Inc.). Inquiry emails are kept in data centres in Japan, but group companies of Zoho Japan Corporation outside Japan (such as in India) may access them for maintenance and support. We take security measures based on an understanding of the personal information protection systems of the USA and India (Sections 6 and 7).
