LY Corporation conducts information security measures to continue providing services that can be used safely and securely to our customers. For details, please refer to Privacy and Security.
LY Corporation monitors and analyzes unauthorized activities and conducts countermeasures, etc. for our customers and partners.
For these countermeasures, we gather and use various personal data acquired from browsers and apps, and may provide these data to third parties for measures against unauthorized acts.
For this purpose, personal data is provided not only to our partners, but also to law enforcement authorities. When providing personal data to third parties for the purpose of countermeasures against unauthorized acts, we restrict the use purpose in our contracts and endeavor to conduct technical measures so that the provided personal data will not be used for purposes other than the measures against unauthorized activities.
Customers may suffer losses when other people abuse the customers’ LINE account. In order to protect our customers’ LINE accounts and passwords from being abused, LY Corporation introduces a guide containing security measures that can be undertaken immediately. For details, please refer to Everyone’s Guide to How to Use LINE.
LY Corporation encrypts the communication pathway between LY Corporation and our customers using a robust structure in order to prevent third parties from stealing and altering Customer Data.
Access authorities to our Customer Data are restricted to minimum possible in our system. In addition, our Customer Data is stored in a heavily protected physical location, and there is a structure in place so that only limited persons can handle such data.
Even in cases where services for the handling of personal information are entrusted, strict items to be checked are established and inspections are periodically conducted as to whether such companies are taking proper safety control measures, including organizational and physical measures.
