The disclosure request system will change from April 2023.

　The previous Personal Information Protection Law system was divided into three by law alone, and ordinances were enacted for each local government, so about 2,000 rules were in a state of forest.
　Therefore, `` In order to respond to the increasingly active data utilization that transcends the boundaries of the public and private sectors and regions, we will correct the imbalance and inconsistencies in the old legislation caused by discipline by separate laws and ordinances, and the law has been applied to local governments. .
　Until now, the ordinance focused on the protection of personal information, but the law aims to "protect the rights and interests of individuals while considering the usefulness of personal information." The viewpoint of usefulness of "will be newly added.
　Yokohama City will also work to achieve the purpose of the law by promoting the proper and effective use of personal information while ensuring thorough personal information protection.

• We start granting copy of document which city holds in paper and electronic data by scanning (until now, copy of paper document is issued by paper).
• [Request for disclosure of administrative documents] Regarding the delivery of copies by electronic data, we will start using e-mail (until now, we will issue it by window or mail).

　There is no special change. As before, you will be able to view it at the office that holds the document.

　In order to make information disclosure easier to use, we will not collect any costs for disclosure requests themselves. Regarding the delivery of copies by electronic data, we will introduce a pay-as-you-go system in consideration of the balance with the case of paper delivery (until now, only the cost of electronic data storage media such as optical disks was paid.) . 。
　An overview of the fees is shown in the following table.

　When we receive notice of disclosure decision from city, within 30 days, it is principle that you have you submit in writing about conduct method of disclosure (reading or grant of copy), desired date and time of disclosure conduct, etc. in writing.

　In order to utilize personal information, a system will be introduced to provide a database containing personal information owned by Yokohama City to those who want to use it for business purposes.
　Since personal information cannot be given as it is, we will provide it after "anonymous processing" so that individuals cannot be identified. In addition, this processing cost will be borne as a "fees".
