The best example of this case is when LY Corporation provides services in collaboration with third parties in order to provide more convenient and attractive services to our customers. In these collaborations, there are times when coordination of information is needed with these third parties, and LY Corporation receives information from these third parties for this purpose. (Whether or not information is coordinated or the details of information to be coordinated differ by individual service coordination.)

When receiving personal information from third parties, LY Corporation conducts appropriate measures such as complying with laws and regulations.
