Safety of My Number Card

• The scope of use of My Number, collection and storage are strictly restricted by law.
• Since it is not a mechanism to centrally manage personal information, information does not leak in a potato style.

The My Number system is not a system (centralized management) that collects and manages your information in one place. In managing information, personal information that had been managed by each organization until now is continuously managed by that organization, and a system called "distributed management" is adopted in which necessary information is exchanged only when necessary. We do not create a specific common database, so information is not leaked from such places.

Even if it is lost or stolen, it cannot be impersonated by a third party because it has a photo of your face. In addition, the My Number Card has special processing, such as engraving characters with a laser and applying a complicated color pattern pattern, making it difficult for counterfeiting the face.

The IC chip on My Number Card does not contain highly privacy information such as tax, pension, medical examination results, or medicine information.

The 4-digit PIN required to read the IC chip will be locked if the wrong number of times a certain number of times, and the lock cannot be unlocked unless the person himself / herself performs the procedure. In addition, if you try to read information illegally, the IC chip is automatically broken, ensuring high security.
