Professional advisors, such as lawyers and auditors, to the extent necessary for their services to us.

LINKWIZ is based in Japan, and the Services are provided from Japan. The Site may also be accessed from outside Japan via the internet. Some of our service providers may handle personal data in countries other than your country of residence (such as the United States).
We entrust the handling of personal data to the following service providers to operate the Services:
Google LLC (United States): analytics and tag management (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager)
HubSpot, Inc. (United States): management of inquiry form and Waiting List registration information
CookieYes Limited (United Kingdom): cookie consent management
We have entered into data processing agreements or similar arrangements with these providers. Through these arrangements, we have established a system under which each recipient continuously takes measures consistent with the purpose of the provisions of Chapter 4, Section 2 of Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (the "APPI") (the "Equivalent Measures") (Article 28, Paragraph 1 of the APPI).
At least once a year, we check the following, using materials published by each provider and other means:
How the recipients are implementing the Equivalent Measures
Whether the recipient countries have any systems that may affect that implementation
Under Article 28, Paragraph 3 of the APPI, you may request information about the recipients' systems and the measures we take. To make a request, please contact us as described in Section 12.
Where the GDPR or the UK GDPR applies to our processing and we transfer personal data to countries without an adequacy decision, we implement appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable law. These safeguards include:
The Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission
The UK's International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or International Data Transfer Addendum
Other transfer mechanisms recognized by the relevant authorities, including the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework
You may request a copy or summary of these safeguards by contacting us as described in Section 12.
Where we transfer personal data of individuals located in other countries or regions outside those described above, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as contractual measures, in accordance with the data protection laws of those countries or regions. We remain responsible for personal data transferred internationally in accordance with applicable law.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Our general retention periods are as follows:
Waiting List and inquiry form data is generally retained for three years from your last communication with us (such as an inquiry or email exchange), and then promptly deleted.
Records of your consent to marketing communications are retained while your consent remains valid, and after withdrawal for as long as required by law.
Information needed for legal, accounting, or compliance purposes may be retained for longer than the periods above.
Even within these periods, if you ask us to delete your personal information, we will promptly delete it unless we are required by law to retain it.
Where the GDPR, the UK GDPR, or other applicable law grants you such rights, you may have the right to:
Request access to the personal information we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
Request deletion of your personal information
Object to, or request restriction of, certain processing
Request that we transfer your information to another party (data portability)
Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority
Because LINKWIZ is a business based in Japan, you may also make requests under the APPI regarding personal data we hold, wherever you are located. You may request disclosure, correction, suspension of use, deletion, and other actions.
To make a request, please email the address listed in Section 12 (How to contact us). We will first verify your identity using your registered email address or another method we specify. We will then generally respond by email. We do not charge a fee.
All users may:
Opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link included in each email
Change cookie preferences at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of the Site
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 12.
The Site and the Services are intended for business use by professional users, such as company representatives, and are not directed to children. We assume that anyone using the Site does so as an adult acting in a professional capacity on behalf of a business. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 years of age. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us using the details in Section 12, and we will promptly investigate and take steps such as deletion where appropriate.
We take organizational, personnel, physical, and technical measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include:
Appointing a person responsible for handling personal information
Training our employees
Controlling access
Taking measures to prevent unauthorized access
We may also handle personal data in foreign countries, such as the United States, through our service providers. In such cases, we take security measures based on an understanding of the personal information protection systems of those countries.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
