•Right to access personal information: Users exercising this right may request access to the categories and specific pieces of their personal information we hold. When you ask to access your personal information, we will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request; however, we may not be able to allow you to access certain personal information in certain circumstances, for example, for legal, security or commercial proprietary reasons. Further, we may not be able to provide you with your personal information if collecting the information would prove burdensome (for example, it would be prohibitively costly to provide such personal information).

5. INFORMATION SECURITY
We implement reasonable technological, organizational and administrative security measures designed to safeguard the personal information we process through Riiiver. These measures are aimed at providing on-going integrity and confidentiality for your personal information. However, no information system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
6. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements.
7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER
Your personal information may be transferred to, stored and/or processed outside your jurisdiction of residence and such jurisdiction’s data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live. When we collect your personal information, it is collected on servers located in Japan. Your personal information may be transferred to servers located in the United States. We may also disclose your personal information to our affiliates located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan and other Asian countries.
When your personal information is transferred outside your jurisdiction of residence, it may be accessible to law enforcement and government agencies of that jurisdiction.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy when transferred, processed or stored outside of your jurisdiction of residence, including by using appropriate safeguards (such as contractual commitments). Where we have engaged international third parties to perform services in respect of any personal information collected from you, we will use contractual or other means to ensure such third parties offer a comparable level of protection in respect of the personal information. For more information on the appropriate safeguards in place, please contact us at the details below.
