Cookies or similar technologies may support language settings, delivery, security, and error analysis. ADJ currently conducts no advertising-based behavioural tracking. Hosting and delivery providers may receive IP address, URL, time, and device/browser data for delivery, logs, security, and diagnostics. Cookies can be disabled, but functions may fail. New analytics or advertising tools will be disclosed and consent obtained where required.

ADJ does not disclose personal data without consent except where permitted by law, including legal obligations or urgent protection of life, body, or property. Processing vendors and business succession may not constitute third-party disclosure under law. ADJ currently conducts no joint use of personal data.

ADJ may use hosting, database, email, security, development, and maintenance vendors, giving only necessary access and supervising them through contracts and access controls. Servers or personnel may be outside Japan. ADJ reviews relevant foreign regimes and safeguards and provides legally required information and obtains consent before regulated overseas third-party transfers.

Data is retained only as needed for its purposes, law, disputes, and security, then securely deleted or anonymised. Enquiry records are generally kept for three years after the last response; contractual, accounting, and security records follow legal or reasonable periods. Holds may extend retention for disputes or investigations.

Subject to law, individuals may request notice of purpose, access to retained data or third-party disclosure records, correction, addition, deletion, restriction, erasure, or cessation of third-party disclosure. Email contact@autodevjapan.com with the request, relevant data, and verification information; agents must prove authority. Verification material is disposed of appropriately. Refusals will be explained. Requests are normally free, but reasonable extraordinary costs will be notified in advance.

This general-audience website does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 without guardian consent. Minors should obtain consent where necessary. ADJ will act to delete improperly collected data when identified.

Providing data is voluntary, but required details may be necessary for a response. Do not email sensitive data, passwords, private keys, national ID numbers, or payment-card details. External sites apply their own policies.

ADJ may update this Policy for changes in law, services, or practices. Material changes will be prominently announced before or promptly after effect, and consent obtained where required.
