Personal information is personally identifiable information related to HIT staff and faculty, current and former HIT undergraduate and graduate students, their guardians, families, or equivalent persons, which is obtained while carrying out university operations. Examples of personal information include names, postal addresses, e-mail addresses and other personally identifiable information, university registration-related data, grade-related data, etc. In addition, information such as university applicant-related personal information also falls under the category of personal information. We are deeply aware of, and committed to fulfilling, our social responsibility, as a university, to ensure that such personal information is both managed and safeguarded in an appropriate fashion.

Application of this policy on personal information handling is limited to Hiroshima Institute of Technology Official Website (https://www.it-hiroshima.ac.jp; "this Website"). HIT assumes no responsibility for other websites to which this Website links.

Although situations may arise where we ask you to register personal information, such as to post you university documents or other useful information or to provide you with various services, the use of any personal information which you register will be limited to the purpose of collection clearly stated in advance. Furthermore, no information shall be disclosed to non-contractor third parties without your consent.

This website records access details (such as access dates and times, IP addresses, host name, browsers, etc.) as access logs; however, this information is not personally identifiable user information. Access logs are analyzed for use in improving website content and for no other purpose.

Hiroshima Institute of Technology ensures that faculty, staff and all contractors who handle personal information are familiar with university-stipulated personal information protection management, and we are continually working on ways to further improve our systems.

We are ever conscious of personal information-related laws and regulations, and we ensure that we are in compliance with them.

Personal information handling may be contracted out to external parties in some cases in order to fulfill the purpose of use. In such cases, contractors are required, contractually or otherwise, to have measures in place and to perform appropriate monitoring in order to ensure personal information is not leaked or provided to another party.

In some cases where it is necessary for site operations or management, to confirm registered information or for some other purpose, we may contact users by e-mail, phone, post or some other means.

You may request disclosure, revision or deletion of the personal information you have provided us with. Please direct all such requests to the General Affairs Office. Unless special reasons exist for us not to do so, your request will be promptly handled once your identity as the person to whom the personal information belongs is confirmed.
