LINE Yahoo Corporation has released its comprehensive Privacy Policy, outlining how the company collects, uses, and safeguards personal data across its suite of services, including LINE and Yahoo Japan. As a leading internet content provider, LINE Yahoo places data protection at the forefront of its business priorities, committing to full compliance with applicable laws and regulations in every region where it operates.
The policy details the types of personal data collected—ranging from information voluntarily provided by users (such as account details) to data automatically gathered during service use (including location, device, and network information). It also covers data obtained from group companies, partners, and public sources. LINE Yahoo uses this data to deliver and maintain services, improve user experience, enhance security, and prevent fraud.
Users are informed of their rights regarding access, correction, deletion, and data portability. The company emphasizes robust security measures, including encryption and controlled data access, and specifies data retention periods. Additionally, the policy addresses third-party modules, cookies (such as Google Analytics), and the use of True Depth API on Apple devices.
LINE Yahoo encourages all users to review the full Privacy Policy to understand their choices and how their information is handled. The company also provides clear channels for inquiries and commits to notifying users of any significant changes to its privacy practices.
