Regarding the handling of personal information

Nevertheless, any personal information collected by the JSDB will be handled in accordance with this law, and will only be used for the purposes listed below. Further, this information will not be provided to a third party without prior consent. Part of the management and administration of the membership database is outsourced; however, the outsourced contractor has also been requested to abide by the laws on handling personal information.

 

    Uses of Personal Information:
    1. Compiling the membership list (available only to other members)
    2. Elections for President and other administrative seats
    3. Contacting or sending materials to members
    4. Confirming status of membership fees
