Providing personal information to third parties

If a customer personally asks that her personal information be disclosed, revised or deleted, The Diagnostics Division of Yamasa Corporation will disclose, revise or delete that information to the extent reasonably possible.
However, The Diagnostics Division of Yamasa Corporation might not do so if there is reason to believe it will harm the life, health, property or other interests of other customers, or if we judge that it will markedly hinder our department carrying out its business operations, or if it would violate a law or ordinance.

Making improvements

With regard to our handling of customers’ personal information, we will reconsider and improve the preceding items when appropriate. Accordingly, this policy may be modified without prior notice.
