The disclosure request system will change from April 2023.

　The previous Personal Information Protection Law system was divided into three laws alone, and the ordinance was enacted for each local government, so about 2,000 rules were in forest.
　Therefore, `` In order to respond to the increasing use of data that transcends the boundaries of the public and private sectors and regions, correct the imbalances and inconsistencies of old legislation caused by discipline by separate laws and ordinances, and properly handle personal information, etc. The law was amended with the aim of establishing nationwide common rules necessary for proper handling by law, and the law has been applied to local governments.
　Until now, the ordinances 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" 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 thoroughly protecting personal information.

• We start grant by thing which made copy of document which city holds on paper electronic data by scan (we issue copy of paper document by paper until now).
• [Limited requests for disclosure of administrative documents] About delivery of copy by electronic data, we start utilization of e-mail (up to now, delivery by window or mail).

　There is no special change. As before, you will be required to browse at the office that holds the document.

　In order to make it easier to use information disclosure, we will not collect any costs for disclosure requests themselves. Regarding the delivery of copies in 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, it is principle that we have you offer in writing about conduct method (reading or grant of copy) of desired disclosure, desired date and time of disclosure conduct within 30 days .

　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 etc.
　Since it cannot be handed over as personal information is, we will provide it after "anonymous processing" so that individuals cannot be identified. In addition, this processing cost will be borne as a "fee".
