      We may share Personal Data about you with third parties when you consent to or request such sharing.
  11. What do we do to keep your Personal Data secure?
  12. The security of your Personal Data is of greatest importance to Panasonic. We have put in place a range of appropriate physical and technical measures as well as robust policies and processes. The purpose thereof is to safeguard your Personal Data and to protect it against accidental or unlawful destruction or alteration, accidental loss, unauthorized disclosure or access and against other unlawful forms of processing. These measures take into account the state of the art of the technology, the costs of its implementation, the nature of the Personal Data, and the risk of the processing.

    All information we collect, including Personal Data, is encrypted on the communication path using Secured Sockets Layer technology when transmitted and stored on our secure servers.

    Information security, including the protection of Personal Data is organized in a global Panasonic Program called Information Security Management (“ISM”). The related aim, standards and implementation measures are organized in a globally valid Policy, and further standards and guidelines. The program and all its parts follow a strong yearly Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach to secure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all data (including your Personal Data) for the whole information lifecycle from collection to destruction of such information.

    We also regularly update the contents of reports such as security risk and personal information safety impact assessments.

    In addition, in the unfortunate case of a Personal Data security incident, we will comply with the requirements of laws and regulations, and will notify you without delay the basic circumstances and possible impact of the security incident, countermeasures that we have already taken or will take, proposals that enable you to protect yourself from and reduce risk, and available remedial actions. We will notify you of information related to the incident without delay by methods such as email, and push notification. If notifying each Personal Data subject individually is difficult, we will issue a public notice in a rational and effective manner. At the same time, we will comply with the requirements of the supervisory management department, and will report on the handling status of the Personal Data security incident.

    However, please note that although we take appropriate steps to protect your Personal Data, no website, product, device, online application or transmission of data, computer system or wireless connection is completely secure and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data.
