How we handle your data.
This Privacy Policy sets out the common principles applied across the Synfortech group. However, if a specific service we provide has its own separate privacy policy or terms of use, those terms take precedence.
Synfortech Inc. (hereinafter "we" or "the Company") sets out the following policy regarding the handling of personal information provided by customers (including corporations and individuals who have contacted us) and personal information provided through the use of this website or our services (hereinafter "our services").
In this Privacy Policy, "personal information" refers to "personal information" as defined under the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (hereinafter the "APPI"). This includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, employers, departments, job titles, and any other information that can identify a specific individual or corporate representative—including information that can be easily matched with other data to identify a person.
We collect personal information through lawful and fair means, as described below. We always clarify the purpose of use and, in principle, obtain consent from the individual before collection.
- Various forms on our website (inquiries, document requests, partner applications, etc.)
- Direct provision via email, phone, or business card exchange
- Collection through business partnerships, joint projects, or other business relationships
- Recruitment activities including job applications, internship applications, and information sessions
- Other methods of collection based on the individual's consent
We use collected personal information within the scope of the following purposes. If we use it for any other purpose, we will obtain prior consent from the individual.
- Responding to inquiries and document requests, and managing records of such responses
- Providing our services, support, contract procedures, and after-sales service
- Communications and procedures related to business partnerships, joint research, and business alliances
- Recruitment activities including screening, scheduling interviews, issuing job offers, and onboarding procedures
- Implementing marketing initiatives and analyzing data to improve service quality
- Responding to legal requirements or fulfilling reporting obligations to government agencies
When collecting personal information from minors under the age of 16 (hereinafter "minors"), we in principle obtain the consent of their parent or legal guardian (hereinafter "guardians") beforehand.
When minors use our services, we advise that they do so with the consent of a guardian. When personal information is provided by a minor, we may implement procedures to confirm guardian consent as necessary.
If we discover that personal information has been provided without guardian consent, we will promptly delete the information or take other appropriate action.
To handle minors' personal information appropriately, we take the following measures:
- Establishing clear age restrictions and consent mechanisms for services and content targeting minors
- Responding sincerely and promptly to requests for correction, deletion, or suspension by guardians
- Maximally respecting minors' privacy and rights, and continuously working on staff education and improvement
We do not disclose collected personal information to third parties except in the following cases:
- With the consent of the individual
- As required by law
- When necessary to protect a person's life, body, or property, and it is difficult to obtain consent
- When cooperation is needed for a government agency or local government performing tasks based on law
The following cases are not considered third-party disclosures, and we may share or outsource personal information after implementing necessary measures:
- Sharing information among Synfortech group companies for business operations
- Outsourcing part of our operations to contractors (cloud vendors, payment processors, delivery companies, system developers, etc.)
- Providing services in collaboration with business partners or joint project partners
- Partially outsourcing recruitment screening (to recruitment agencies, aptitude testing organizations, etc.)
Even in these cases, we enter into appropriate agreements and exercise management and supervision to ensure the security of personal information.
We may outsource certain operations involving personal information to external contractors (cloud vendors, call centers, system developers, delivery companies, etc.). In such cases, we ensure the protection of personal information based on the following standards and management framework:
- We select contractors only after confirming they have sufficient security management systems for handling personal information.
- Our outsourcing agreements require the following clauses, documented in writing or electronically:
- Prohibition of use beyond the stated purpose
- Prohibition of third-party disclosure and restrictions on sub-contracting
- Security management measures to prevent leakage, damage, or loss
- Obligation to return or appropriately dispose of information upon contract termination
- Legal compliance and obligation to cooperate with audits
- We conduct regular or as-needed audits, inspections, and interviews based on the scope of outsourced work and handling of personal information.
- If a contractor is located in a third country, we verify the data protection framework in that country and implement additional security measures as necessary.
- Contractor evaluation, selection, and renewal are conducted based on our internal risk assessment criteria.
Through these measures, we work to prevent leakage, loss, damage, or unauthorized use of personal information by contractors, and to ensure information security.
To prevent unauthorized access, leakage, loss, or damage to personal information and to ensure accuracy and security, we implement the following necessary and appropriate security management measures:
- Technical measures: Firewalls, access controls, communication encryption, antivirus software, etc.
- Physical measures: Entry and exit management, locked storage, server room restrictions, etc.
- Organizational measures: Internal policy development, employee training, appointment of a personal information manager, etc.
- Human measures: Confidentiality agreements with employees, post-employment information retention obligations
We regularly review and improve these measures, and work toward continuous enhancement of information security.
We retain collected personal information only for the period necessary to fulfill the purpose of use. After the retention period ends or the purpose is fulfilled, we promptly delete, anonymize, or otherwise safely process the information.
For personal information subject to statutory retention requirements, we retain and manage it in accordance with the period specified by the relevant law.
After the retention period, we apply technical and physical security measures before disposing of or deleting the information to prevent leakage, unauthorized use, or external disclosure.
Due to the use of cloud services or partial outsourcing of operations, we may store or process personal information on servers or with service providers located outside your country.
When making such cross-border transfers, we investigate and confirm the level of personal data protection law in the destination country or region, and implement appropriate protective measures—such as contractual obligations or technical security measures—before proceeding.
We also continuously supervise and manage contractors to ensure appropriate handling of personal information at the destination, and proactively prevent risks of leakage, loss, damage, or unauthorized use.
We may create pseudonymized or anonymized information by appropriately processing collected personal information so that specific individuals cannot be identified, and use it for statistical analysis, service improvement, marketing planning and verification, and similar purposes.
In creating and using pseudonymized or anonymized information, we implement security management measures in accordance with relevant laws and guidelines to prevent leakage or re-identification.
When providing anonymized information to third parties, we comply with applicable law by disclosing the types of data included and the method of provision, and follow required procedures.
If we receive a request (hereinafter "disclosure request") from an individual or their authorized representative—for disclosure, correction, addition, deletion, suspension of use, erasure, or cessation of third-party provision of personal information we hold—we will respond appropriately and in good faith in accordance with the APPI and other applicable laws.
However, we may be unable to fulfill a request in any of the following cases:
- When we cannot confirm that the requester is the individual themselves or an authorized representative
- When compliance could harm the rights or interests of a third party
- When compliance would significantly interfere with our legitimate business operations
- When compliance would violate applicable law
To submit a disclosure request, please follow our prescribed procedure, which may require submission of identity verification documents.
