Privacy policy
SRL, Inc. operates on its corporate philosophy of “Contributing to the Development of a Healthy and Prosperous Society”. We provide medical services predominantly in clinical examinations.
In recent years, there has been a rise in demand for patient-centered, high-quality medical services. Simultaneously, society's interest in the release of medical information and the protection of personal information including specific personal information (hereinafter referred to as "personal information") using information technology has also risen. Not only do we hold ourselves accountable for protecting stakeholder’s personal information, but we also believe that it is the very foundation of operating a business.
We hereby establish the Personal Information Protection Management System and inform all employees (the executives, the board of directors, employees, staff members, loaned employees and temporary employees) on the importance of protecting personal information. We will strive to protect personal information and prevent leakage, loss or damage of personal information by familiarizing all staff with security control measures. SRL Inc. defines our privacy policy as follows.
Definition of personal information
Personal information is defined as information about an individual which can identify a specific individual by name, date of birth or any other description (including such information as will allow easy reference to other information and will thereby enable the identification of the specific individual). Specific personal information is defined as personal information that includes individual numbers.
Prevention and response to leakage, loss, or damage of personal information
We shall implement countermeasures against expected violations leading to leakage, loss or damage of personal information. In case an incident ever occurs, we shall promptly implement corrective measures.

・License and Usage
Personal information is used only to serve its specific purpose of use (specific personal information is limited in affairs using the individual numbers). Any license required for the use of personal information shall be obtained prior to use.
・Disclosure
All personal information is confidential and is only shared with third parties on justifiable grounds (regardless of one’s consent for specific personal information).
・Outsourcing
For all outsourcing operations, the subcontractor’s operation must comply with SRL's privacy policy standards. SRL shall bring into compliance through contract and daily operation management.
