Privacy Policy

Effective: December 15, 2026

ASHR Inc. ("ASHR", "we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through en.ashrcorp.com and through our communications with you. We handle personal information in accordance with Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI). Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, section 11 also applies to you.

1. Who we are

ASHR Inc.
7F N&E BLD., 1-12-4 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0061, Japan
Representative Director: Yoichiro Mori

2. Information we collect

  • Information you give us: your name, email address, company, role and the content of your message when you use our contact form, subscribe to updates or write to us.
  • Information collected automatically: pages viewed, referring site, device and browser type, and approximate location (country or region), collected through our hosting and analytics services.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as information about race, beliefs, health or criminal records). Please do not include it in your messages.

3. How we use it

  • To respond to your inquiries
  • To provide, propose and manage our services
  • To send articles and updates you have subscribed to
  • To understand how our site is used and improve it
  • To comply with laws and regulations

We do not use your personal information for any other purpose without your consent, except where permitted by law.

4. Sharing with third parties

We do not sell your personal information. We do not provide it to third parties without your consent, except where permitted by law, for example when required by law or to protect a person's life, body or property.

We entrust personal information to service providers that host our website, provide analytics and send email on our behalf. We choose these providers carefully and supervise them so that they handle the information appropriately.

5. Transfers outside Japan

Some of our service providers process data on servers outside Japan, mainly in the United States. Where personal information is transferred outside Japan, we do so as permitted by the APPI, for example to providers that maintain data protection measures equivalent to those required under the APPI. On request, we will provide information about the measures in place and about the data protection system of the country concerned.

6. Security

We take the following measures to prevent the leakage, loss or damage of personal information:

  • Organizational: we appoint a person responsible for handling personal information and keep internal rules on how it is handled.
  • Human: everyone who handles personal information on our behalf is bound by confidentiality obligations.
  • Physical and technical: we limit access to those who need it, use access controls and encrypted connections (HTTPS), and protect our systems against unauthorized access.
  • Understanding the environment abroad: where data is stored outside Japan, we take into account the data protection system of the country concerned.

7. How long we keep it

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, and then delete it securely. You can unsubscribe from updates at any time using the link in each email.

8. Cookies and analytics

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work.

9. Your requests

You may ask us to notify you of the purposes of use of your personal information, disclose it (including records of provision to third parties), correct, add to or delete it, stop using or deleting it, or stop providing it to third parties, as provided by the APPI. Please contact us using the details in section 12. We will respond without undue delay after confirming your identity. We do not charge a fee for these requests.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or in our services. The latest version, with its effective date, is always posted on this page.

11. For visitors in the EU and UK

Where the GDPR applies, we process your personal information on the following legal bases: to take steps at your request before entering into a contract (responding to inquiries), our legitimate interests (understanding and improving our site and services), and your consent (subscriptions, which you may withdraw at any time). You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal information, and to data portability. Transfers to Japan rely on the European Commission's adequacy decision for Japan and the corresponding UK adequacy regulations. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
