Personal information provided will not be provided to third parties without the prior consent of the individual, except in the following cases.

Disclosure, Correction, Suspension of Use and Deletion Requests of Personal Information
If the Consortium receives a request for disclosure of a User’s personal information from the User himself/herself, the Consortium will disclose such information to the User without delay within a reasonable scope.
However, this shall not apply in cases where the disclosure would prejudice the rights of other third parties, or in cases where the disclosure would seriously impede the performance of the Consortium’s business.
In addition, if a user requests correction, suspension of use, or deletion of his/her own personal information, we will correct, suspend, or delete the information as soon as possible.
