On this page, we will explain how we feel we should handle user personal information.
We believe that the Internet is a wonderful medium for connecting with our customers. Thanks to the advent of the Internet, we can deliver detailed information on Menicon products that could not be conveyed by existing mass media.
On the other hand, the Internet is an open network connected to computers all over the world. As we all know from news relating to the Internet, it is not an information transmission medium for which security can be 100% guaranteed.
Due to its openness, in principle, users have to use the Internet under their own responsibility. Regrettably, this must be kept in mind when transmitting information to us through the Internet.
Of course, we believe we must protect personal information transmitted to the Menicon website from personal computers and other information media.
We observe the following rules in connection with protecting your privacy.

4. No provision of data to third parties
Menicon does not deliver any information transmitted to the Menicon website to any third party without user consent; provided, however, that user information may be provided to a third party without consent:
If such provision is required by laws and regulations;
If such provision is required for the purpose of protecting human life, person or property, and it is difficult to obtain consent; or
