Handling of Personal Information on the Yokohama City Website

The Yokohama City website handles the collection, use and management of personal information appropriately based on the "Law Concerning the Protection of Personal Information" and the "Ordinance on the Protection of Personal Information in Yokohama City", and uses it with peace of mind. We will strive to create a web page that you can do. In addition, we may change the handling of personal information in response to laws and other changes. In that case, we will inform you on this site.

"Personal information" means "identifying a specific individual" by name, date of birth and other descriptions (Address, Phone number, title, etc.) (= ordinary people know this information as a specific individual).
In addition, even if a specific individual is not known with each information, if a specific individual can be easily identified by combining these information and some publicly available information, etc. , Such information also falls under "personal information".

When city collects personal information from person other than the person or intends to collect personal information about race, creed and social status, we examine the necessity appropriately (Ordinance Article 3 Clause 1).

Personal information will be identified as much as possible and will be retained to the extent necessary (Article 61 of the Act). In principle, the purpose of use shall be clearly indicated to the person (Article 62 of the Act).

Except in cases that fall under statutory exceptions, personal information will not be used or provided inside the city for any purpose other than the purpose of use (Article 69 of the Act).

We will keep the collected personal information accurate and up-to-date, and take necessary measures to prevent leakage, loss, damage, falsification, etc. Personal information that is no longer needed will be promptly discarded and deleted (Article 66 of the Act).
