HITACHI : About Documents Proving a Customer's Identity

To prevent the leakage of personal information, the customer must provide document(s) that prove the customer's identity when the customer requests a purpose-of-use report (based on Article 24(2) of the Personal Information Protection Law (abbreviated hereafter to "the Law")) or when the customer requests the revealing of information (based on Article 25(1) of the Law). When a substitute person makes the request on behalf of the customer, documents proving the identity of both the customer and the substitute person are required. When the customer is not yet 15 years old, the customer's legal guardian needs to make the request. The requirements for the various confirmation documents are as follows.
