We comply with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) to ensure personal data is handled securely and in line with legal requirements.
At Netskope, safeguarding your personal information and ensuring compliance with data protection laws are our top priorities. Below, we explain our approach to data protection, your rights as an individual, and our responsibilities as a business.
We comply with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) to ensure personal data is handled securely and in line with legal requirements.
The APPI, initially enacted in 2003 and most recently amended in 2023, serves as Japan’s comprehensive data protection framework. It regulates the handling of personal information by businesses to protect individuals’ rights and interests while enabling the smooth use of data in business operations. Non-compliance with the APPI can lead to administrative penalties, reputational damage, and in severe cases, criminal charges.
By adhering to the APPI, we ensure the protection of personal data and comply with both legal and ethical standards, building trust with our stakeholders.
Japan’s data protection authority is the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC). The PPC provides oversight, guidance, and support for both individuals and organizations. You can find more information at PPC’s official website.
Netskope’s compliance framework covers all personal data we process in connection with our services, whether it relates to customers, employees, or third parties.
