ADVANCE INTERTRADE Co., Ltd. (“we”) handles personal data collected through this website in accordance with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) and other applicable law. This policy explains what we collect, why, who else receives it, how long we keep it, and what you can ask us to do about it.
We collect personal data only when you choose to submit it through a form on this website, plus limited technical data collected automatically on every page.
| Where | What |
|---|---|
| Contact form | Name, company, email address, country/market, inquiry type, message |
| Recruitment form | Application category, desired position, name, furigana, email address, phone number, CV/résumé file (optional), message |
| Every page | Traffic source (referring URL and campaign parameters), pages viewed, IP address, browser information, cookie identifiers |
We do not intentionally collect special-category data such as health, beliefs or criminal records. Please do not include such information in a CV you send us.
We use personal data only for the purposes below. This statement of purpose is published in accordance with Article 21 of Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI).
If we ever need to use your data beyond these purposes, we will obtain your consent first.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes. We do rely on the following processors to operate this website:
| Processor | Role | Location |
|---|---|---|
| FormSubmit | Receives form submissions and forwards them to us by email | United States |
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Website hosting and content delivery | United States |
| Google LLC | Analytics (Google Analytics 4: G-R0FNQ5DX8X) | United States |
| Meta Platforms, Inc. | Advertising measurement (Meta Pixel: 1636931791395078) | United States |
This means your data may be transferred outside Japan and outside the EEA/UK, principally to the United States, where data protection rules differ from those in your own country.
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how it is used and to measure advertising performance. Cookies do not identify you by name.
You can block cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of this website may then not work correctly.
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Inquiry correspondence | 3 years from our last contact with you |
| Job applications and CVs | 1 year after the selection process ends, unless you are hired |
| Analytics data | The default retention period of each tool |
After these periods we delete the data, or destroy it in a way that cannot be reversed.
We limit access to personal data to the people who need it, transmit it over encrypted connections (TLS), and train the people who handle it. No system is perfectly secure, but these measures reduce the risk of loss, misuse or unauthorised disclosure.
You may ask us what personal data we hold about you, to correct or complete it, to delete it, or to stop using it. Write to [email protected]; we will verify your identity and respond within a reasonable period.
If you are in the EU or the UK, the GDPR also gives you the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority. Our legal bases are: performance of a contract and pre-contractual steps (inquiries), pre-contractual steps (recruitment), and consent or legitimate interests (analytics and advertising).
We may update this policy when the law or our services change. If we make a significant change we will post it on this page together with a new revision date.
