As a global supplier that can provide large-sized products, Hitachi Industrial Products, Ltd. handles a variety of information: including our own technical information, and information entrusted to us by customers. Given this situation, and to ensure that such information is treated with the respect it deserves, Hitachi Industrial Products, Ltd. has established an information control system and is implementing it thoroughly.
Considering these issues, together with the specification of rules and establishment of a management system, Hitachi Industrial Products, Ltd. has fixed the personal information protection policy given below, and informed executive staff and workers, and is striving to protect personal information appropriately by following this policy.
For Hitachi Industrial Products, Ltd., personal information is the information that is related to existing persons and that can be used to identify specific persons (for example, names, birth dates, numbers assigned to individuals, symbols or other marks, images, or voice recordings, and relevant information).
This includes information that cannot be used to identify individuals by itself, but can be used to identify individuals by easy cross-referencing with other data. Personal information is not limited just to information that can identify individuals, but also includes all information that indicates facts, decisions, or evaluations relating to a person's attributes (such as a person's height or build, finances, work type, or position).

To ensure the correctness and safety of personal information, in accordance with the rules for information security, Hitachi Industrial Products, Ltd. will implement various measures such as managing access to personal information, restricting the means for transporting personal information outside the company and preventing incorrect access from outside the company, and strive to prevent the leakage, loss or destruction of personal information.
