2.2 Legal basis

NAMS processes your personal data to provide our products and services to you, to comply with our legal obligations, for our legitimate business interests or interests of a third party, or on the basis of your consent.

When we process your personal data for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party, we will take reasonable measures to prevent unwarranted harm to you. Our legitimate interests include, for example, our interest of improving our product and services by storing contact details, reducing our costs, improving our newsletters and websites by analyzing which parts of our communications are most relevant for you or of securing our services and facilities, such as the purposes mentioned in “Section 2—What personal data we collect and why.” Where we process your personal data for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party, you have the right to object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (please see “Section 7—Your rights,” below).

You can withdraw your consent at any time by following the specific instructions in relation to the processing for which you provided your consent, by adjusting your setting (if available), or by reaching us through the contact details in “Section 11— Contact details for your privacy inquiries,” below, for your privacy inquiries. Where we process your personal data for a purpose other than that for which it was initially collected (and we rely on a legal basis other than consent or complying with legal obligations for this new purpose), we will ascertain whether processing for this new purpose is compatible with the purpose for which the personal data were initially collected. More information on this assessment is available upon request (please see “Section 7—Your rights,” below).

3. How we collect your data

Most of the personal data we process is information that you knowingly provide to us directly or through third parties. However, in some instances, we process personal data that we are able to infer about you based on other information you provide to us or from our interactions with you, or personal data about you that we receive from a group company or a third party with your knowledge (please see “Section 4—Information sharing,” below, and “Section 2—What personal data we collect and why,” above).

In summary, we collect data in the following ways:

Directly from you: When you fill out a form, contact us for support, or purchase a product or services.
Automatically: When you browse our website, we may collect technical data and usage information.
From third parties: Business partners, recruiting agencies, or other Nikon Group entities.

We do not use cookies, pixels, and other similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time or across different websites following your use of our site.

If you refuse to provide personal data that we require for the performance of the contract or compliance with a legal obligation, we may not be able to provide all or parts of the services you have requested from us.

4. Information sharing

We will process some of your personal data locally. However, as a global organization, many of our business activities can also be carried out (and business efficiencies achieved) by processing or consolidating information about you in specific or centralized databases and systems located at specific secured facilities worldwide. As a result, your information may be shared with other entities within the Nikon Group. However, each Nikon Group company and those other systems and databases will only collect, receive, use, share or otherwise process such personal data in accordance with applicable laws, this privacy policy, and our Nikon Group Privacy Protection Statement www.nikon.co.jp/main/eng/privacy_policy.htm. Moreover, internally we maintain a strict access policy with regard to the processing of personal data. Only a limited group of authorized Nikon staff on a need to know basis will have access to your personal data.

As a general rule, we do not share your personal data with anyone outside the Nikon Group. However, we may share your personal data with trusted third parties that perform business functions or provide services to us. All such third parties will be required to adequately safeguard your personal data, subject to agreements that correspond to the requirements of applicable laws. Your personal data may also be shared for investigations (e.g. disclosure to prevent crime or fraud, or to comply with a court order or legislation). We do not sell your personal data, nor collect, retain, use, or disclose your personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising, nor “sell” or “share” your personal data as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended, including by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”).

5. Security measures and data retention

We secure your personal data in accordance with our information technology (IT) and security policies to protect against unauthorized use, unauthorized access and wrongful modifications, loss or destruction. Your personal data will be stored no longer than is necessary for the purposes they were obtained, including compliance with legal and fiscal obligations and dispute resolution.

6. International transfers of personal data

Given our global operations, your personal data may be transferred to Nikon Group entities and trusted third parties in countries whose laws may not afford the same level of protection. Where necessary, NAMS will ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to comply with the requirements for the international transfer of personal data under applicable privacy laws. For transfers of data from the European Economic area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, this may include using data transfer mechanisms like the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Your rights

Depending on your place of residence, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. We are committed to facilitating these rights. To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the information in “ Section 11—Contact details for your privacy inquiries.”

We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law and will verify your identity before processing your request.

This includes the rights to: (1) access your data, (2) rectify your data, (3) erase your data, (4) restrict the processing of your data, (5) receive a file of your personal data, and (6) object to the processing, and where we have asked for your consent, withdraw this consent. These rights will be limited in some situations. For example, we may deny your request for access when necessary to protect the rights and freedoms of other individuals or in case the processing of such data is necessary for compliance with legal obligations. As an additional example, the right to data portability does not apply in case the personal data was not provided by you or if we process the data not on the basis of your consent or for the performance of a contract.

When you would like to exercise your rights, please send your request to the contact details as set forth in “Section 11—Contact details for your privacy inquiries,” below. Please note that we may need you to provide additional information to confirm your identity. You can also contact us if you have any questions, remarks or complaints in relation to this privacy policy.

7.1 Right to access

You may ask us whether or not we process any of your personal data and, if so, receive access to that data in the form of a copy. When complying with an access request, we will also provide you with additional information, such as the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned as well as any other information necessary for you to exercise the essence of this right.

7.2 Right to rectification

You have the right to have your data rectified in case of inaccuracy or incompleteness. Upon request, we will correct inaccurate personal data about you and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, complete incomplete personal data, which may include the provision of a supplementary statement.

7.3 Right to erasure

You also have the right to have your personal data erased, which means the deletion of your data by us and, where possible, by any other controller to whom your data has previously been made public by us. However, the right to erasure of your personal data only applies in certain limited circumstances, as prescribed by applicable law. For example, the right to erasure includes situations where your personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the initial purposes for which they were processed as well as situations where they were processed unlawfully. Due to the way we maintain certain services, it may take some time before backup copies are erased.

7.4 Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to obtain the restriction of the processing of your personal data, which means that we suspend the processing of your data for a certain period of time. Circumstances which may give rise to this right include situations where the accuracy of your personal data was contested but some time is needed for us to verify their (in)accuracy. This right does not prevent us from continuing to store your personal data. We will inform you before the restriction is lifted.

7.5 Right to receive your file (data portability)

Your right to data portability entails that you may request us to provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly-used and machine-readable format and to have such data transmitted directly to another controller, where technically feasible. Where technically feasible, we will transmit your personal data directly to another controller upon your request.

7.6 Right to object

You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, which means you may request us to no longer process your personal data. This only applies in case the ‘legitimate interests’ ground (including profiling) constitutes the legal basis for processing (please see “Section 2— What personal data we collect and why,” above).

At any time and free of charge you can object to direct marketing purposes in case your personal data are processed for such purposes, which includes profiling purposes to the extent it is related to such direct marketing. In case you exercise this right, we will no longer process your personal data for such purposes.

7.7 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

7.8 Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the local applicable authority.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to or intended for use by children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under age 16. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 16, we will delete such data promptly. If you believe a child under 16 has provided us with personal data, please contact us.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals (including Global Privacy Control (GPC)) to the websites you visit. We do not currently respond to or alter our practices when we receive a DNT signal (including GPC signal) because we do not “sell” or “share” your personal data.

10. How we look after this policy

We will update this privacy policy from time to time with notice of any substantive changes. This version of our Privacy Policy replaces any previous versions.
