APPI Privacy Policy – Gay Jock Underwear L.L.C.

Last updated: 2025-09-10

This Policy explains how we handle personal information of individuals in Japan in accordance with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) and related PPC guidelines.

1) Operator & Country

Company: Gay Jock Underwear L.L.C., 6450 Sunset Blvd #1059, Hollywood, CA 90028, USA

Country: Japan (APPI scope)

APPI Inquiry Desk: legal@gayjockunderwear.com (English inquiries accepted)

2) Utilization Purposes (APPI)

  • Order processing, payment, shipping, and customer support
  • Account creation, authentication, and fraud prevention
  • Service operation, improvement, and analytics
  • Personalization and marketing communications (where required, with consent)
  • Compliance with legal, tax, and audit obligations

3) Categories of Personal Information

  • Contact details (name, email, phone, shipping/billing address)
  • Order and payment metadata (processed by payment providers; we do not store full card numbers)
  • Account data (login, preferences, saved items)
  • Support interactions (messages, call notes)
  • Technical/usage data (device/browser info, IP, cookie/advertising IDs, logs)

4) Cookies, Advertising IDs & Personal-Related Information

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential operations, performance, analytics, personalization, and marketing. You may manage preferences via your browser and our cookie banner (where available).

Personal-related information: If we provide identifiers (e.g., cookie IDs) to a third party who will acquire them as personal data, we will obtain your prior consent and disclose required details in advance, as required by APPI.

5) Entrusted Processing (Processors) vs. Third-Party Provision

We engage service providers (e.g., e-commerce platforms, payment processors, shipping carriers, anti-fraud, analytics, support tools) under contracts that limit their use to our instructions and require appropriate safeguards. We supervise entrusted processors as required by APPI. Entrusted processing is not a “third-party provision.”

6) Third-Party Provision & Record-Keeping

When we provide personal data to third parties (other than entrusted processors), we do so with consent or as permitted by law and keep records as required by APPI. Recipients must use the data only for the stated purposes and protect it appropriately.

7) Cross-Border Transfers (Art. 28 APPI)

Personal data may be transferred to countries outside Japan (e.g., the United States) for the purposes in this Policy. Prior to such transfers, we inform you of the destination country’s personal information protection system and our safeguards (contractual, organizational, and technical). Where required, we obtain your consent before transfer.

8) Joint Use (Kyōdō Riyō)

We do not jointly use personal data under APPI Article 27(5). If this changes, we will disclose the items jointly used, scope of joint users, utilization purposes, and the party responsible for the management of such data.

9) Security Measures

  • Organizational: role-based access, vendor due diligence, contractual safeguards
  • Human: staff confidentiality and training
  • Physical: device safeguards and secure storage by providers
  • Technical: HTTPS/TLS in transit, access controls, logging, fraud-prevention tools

10) Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the stated purposes (e.g., tax and contract claims for applicable statutory periods) and then delete or de-identify it in a secure manner.

At this time, we do not create Anonymously Processed Information or Pseudonymously Processed Information under APPI. If we do in the future, we will disclose required items and comply with applicable handling rules.

11) Your Rights under APPI

  • Disclosure of retained personal data
  • Correction/Additions/Deletion of content
  • Suspension of Use/Erasure of personal data
  • Suspension of Third-Party Provision

13) Business Transfers & Legal Requests

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, personal data may be transferred as permitted by law. We may disclose information to comply with legal obligations, protect rights and property, investigate misuse, ensure safety, or defend against legal claims.

14) Reportable Incidents (Breach Notification)

For incidents that risk individual rights and interests (e.g., leakage, loss, or damage), we will notify the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC) and affected individuals without delay, in accordance with APPI and PPC guidance.

15) Limitation of Liability & Disclaimer

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or relating to this Policy or our processing of personal information. Nothing in this Policy limits your rights under APPI or our obligations under applicable privacy laws.

16) No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share personal information with service providers who act on our behalf under contracts that limit their use of the information to the services they provide to us.
