本公司亦得自動蒐集 台端用以存取本公司線上服務之電腦、行動裝置、技術或其他裝置（合稱「裝置」）之IP位址或其他個別識別碼（「裝置識別碼」）。裝置識別碼為 台端存取網域資產或其伺服器時自動獲發之號碼，本公司電腦即憑 台端裝置之裝置識別碼識別 台端裝置。部分行動服務提供者亦得向本公司或本公司第三人服務提供者提供有關用以存取本公司線上服務之裝置之實際位置資訊。
本公司線上服務用以蒐集使用資訊之裝置識別碼等技術包括：

• 內嵌文本：內嵌文本為程式碼，用以蒐集關於 台端與本公司線上服務互動之資訊，如 台端點選之連結。該程式碼自本公司伺服器或第三人服務提供者暫時下載至 台端之裝置，僅於 台端連接本公司線上服務期間始予啟用，連接結束後即停用或刪除。
請注意，台端造訪或使用本公司線上服務或其他線上網站及服務時，第三人得陸續於不同網站蒐集關於 台端線上活動之個人資訊，舉例而言，部分第三人於本公司線上服務之內嵌內容或外掛內容（如社群媒體分享工具）之操作者可獲知 台端曾造訪本公司線上服務或曾與本公司線上服務互動，其即可能將此資訊與其他經其蒐集關於 台端至其他網站或線上服務之造訪之可識別資訊相結合。該等第三人得依其自身的隱私政策處理上述資訊及其他經其透過其內容及外掛內容直接蒐集之其他資訊。
線上追蹤。部分網路瀏覽器設有「請勿追蹤」功能，向 台端造訪之網站表明， 台端不希望 台端之線上活動受到追蹤。瀏覽器對請勿追蹤信號之傳輸方式尚未統一，因此，除依法規定外，本公司線上服務對於該信號將不予回應。
本公司得使用之廣告投放及網路流量量測服務：
本公司授權技術得於本公司線上服務投放廣告，本公司另得使用第三人網路廣告商於本公司線上服務投放廣告，亦得使用第三人分析服務提供者（例如Google Analytics）評估本公司線上服務之使用情形及本公司內容之瀏覽情形並向本公司提供關於該使用及瀏覽情形之資訊。對於 台端向本公司提供之資訊，如 台端之暱稱及/或電子郵件地址，本公司不會與上述第三人分享，但廣告網路提供者、廣告商、贊助商及/或分析服務提供者得自本公司線上服務設定及存取 台端裝置之Cookies、網路信標及內嵌文本，該等Cookies、網路信標及內嵌文本得陸續蒐集 台端對於本公司線上服務及其他第三人網站或應用程式之個人資訊及其他使用資訊，並得以其他方式蒐集或存取關於 台端之資訊，包括使用資訊。Cookies及網路信標（包括第三人網路廣告商所設定者）得用以鎖定廣告，避免 台端觀看相同廣告之次數過高，亦得用以研究特定廣告對 台端之效用。

請注意，刪除特定Cookies後， 台端可能難以使用線上服務之特定功能。
社群媒體應用程式：
本公司線上服務之功能允許本公司線上服務與臉書、推特等第三方網域資產互動，俾 台端得以對產品或線上內容按「讚」、將內容「分享」至其他網域資產，及以其他方式將本公司線上服務連結至其他第三人網域資產。如 台端選擇對內容按「讚」、「分享」內容，或以其他方式自本公司線上服務或透過本公司線上服務發布資訊至第三人網域資產，該資訊可能成為公開資訊，該第三人網域資產因此可能得以存取關於 台端之資訊及 台端對於本公司線上服務之使用資訊。
台端亦得選擇加入第三人應用程式或功能（如第三人網域資產上之臉書應用程式或類似之應用程式或功能，或以其他方式將本公司線上服務連結至其他網域資產），透過該程式或功能准許本公司蒐集（或准許第三人分享）關於 台端之資訊，包括個人資訊。如 台端選擇加入，即表示 台端選擇將 台端之本公司線上服務活動連結至該第三人網域資產，該第三人網域資產即得蒐集關於 台端對本公司線上服務之造訪資訊，並依 台端要求於該第三人之 台端「個人檔案頁面」或類似功能公布該活動（例如若 台端選擇與第三人網域資產之 台端「好友」分享 台端於本公司線上服務之一找到之內容）。本公司蒐集之資訊均適用本隱私政策，但第三人蒐集及儲存之資訊仍依第三人對於隱私保護的實際作法而定，包括第三人是否持續與本公司或其他第三人分享資訊、分享之資訊類別，及 台端對於他人可於該第三人網域資產看見之內容選項。第三人得准許 台端移除應用程式或功能，屆時本公司不再透過該應用程式或功能蒐集關於 台端之資訊，但得保留先前依據本隱私政策蒐集之資訊。
第三人內容、與其他網域資產及服務之連結，及本公司於其他網站之內容
本公司線上服務之某些內容得由第三人代管及提供，第三人包括第三人小工具（如俾使 台端得對內容按「讚」、與第三人網站及互動式服務「分享」內容，或提供評比及評論者）。 台端造訪本公司線上服務時，可能被連接至本公司控制範圍以外之第三人所經營及控制之其他網站，包括依聯名協議規定得使用本公司標識之廣告商、贊助商及合作夥伴之連結。本公司之內容及小工具得包含於與本公司無關聯且本公司無控制權之網頁及網站之內，該等其他網站可能會發送其Cookies至 台端裝置，並得獨自蒐集資料或徵求個人資訊。對於任何第三人之隱私作為，本公司概不負責。

1. What data do we collect when you use the Online Service
For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means any information about or related to an identified or identifiable individual. This includes information that can identify an individual in combination with other information that is stored by us, even if such information cannot identify the individual on its own. In relation to your use of the Online Service, we collect and use information or data as described below (collectively, the “Collected Data”), some of which may be considered “Personal Information” under applicable law in your jurisdiction.
Information you provide to us:
Registration Information:
When you newly register for and/or in the process of the Online Service, we collect your credential information that you provide to us, such as your nickname, first and last name, email address, country/region of residence, address, native language, age, gender, social media account ID, your videos/voices, general self-introduction, short essay, relationships with other talent management agencies, application history, and your history of activity as a contents creator/VTuber.
If you choose not to provide the above information, we will not be able to provide the Online Service.
Information we collect automatically:
In addition to any information that you choose to provide to the Online Service, whenever you visit or interact with the Online Service, we, as well as any third-party analytics providers or other service providers, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the Online Service is accessed and used ("Usage Information"). Usage Information may include, without limitation, browser type, operating system, the page served, time on the Online Service, and the preceding page views. Usage Information is treated as Personal Information where required by law.
We may also automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifiers ("Device Identifiers") for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, "Devices") you use to access the Online Service. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a property or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. Some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third-party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the Device used to access the Online Service.
The technologies used on the Online Service to collect Usage Information, including Device Identifiers, include:
• Cookies: "Cookies" (which may be html files, Flash files or other technology) are small text files that help store user preferences and activity. A Cookie is placed on a Device when that Device is used to access or visit the Online Service. Cookies may be used for many purposes, such as remembering you and your preferences, tracking your visits to the Online Service and customizing your experience on the Online Service. You may configure your browser or Device to block the use of certain Cookies. However, please note that if you choose to disable Cookies on your Device, some features of the Online Service and our online offerings may not function properly.
• Web Beacons: “Web beacons” (also known as image tags, pixel tags, clear GIFS or web bugs) are small pieces of code used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for various purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Online Service, to monitor how users navigate the Online Service, to count how many sent e-mails were actually opened or to determine whether content sent was actually viewed.
• Embedded Scripts: An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Online Service, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our server or a third-party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Online Service, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
Please note that third parties may collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit or use the Online Service or other online websites and services. For example, some third parties' embedded content or plugins on the Online Service, such as social media sharing tools, allow their operators to learn that you have visited or interacted with the Online Service, and they may combine this information with other, identifiable information they have collected about your visits to other websites or online services. These third parties may handle this information, and other information they directly collect through their content and plugins, pursuant to their own privacy policies.
Online Tracking. Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. For this reason, the Online Service do not respond to such signals, except where required by law.
Ad Serving and Traffic Measurement Services We May Use:
We may license technology to serve advertisements on the Online Service. In addition, we may use third-party network advertisers to serve advertisements on the Online Service and third-party analytics service providers (such as Google Analytics) to evaluate and provide us with information about the use of the Online Service and viewing of our content. We do not share the information that you provide to us, such as your nickname and/or email address with these third parties, but ad network providers, the advertisers, the sponsors, and/or analytics service providers may set and access their own Cookies, Web beacons and embedded scripts on your Device from the Online Service. These Cookies, Web beacons, and embedded scripts may collect Personal Information or other information about your use of the Online Service over time and other third-party websites or applications and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you, including Usage Information. Cookies and Web beacons, including those set by third-party network advertisers, may be used to, among other things, target advertisements, prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times, or conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements to you.

Social Media Applications:
Functionality on the Online Service may permit interactions between the Online Service and third-party properties, such as Facebook and Twitter. Such functionality enables you to “like” a product or online content, “share” content to other properties, and otherwise link the Online Service with another third-party property. If you choose to “like” or “share” content or to otherwise post information from or via the Online Service to a third-party property, that information may become public and the third-party property may have access to information about you and your use of the Online Service.
You may also choose to participate in a third-party application or feature (such as Facebook applications or a similar application or feature on a third-party property, or otherwise linking the Online Service with another property) through which you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including Personal Information. When you choose to participate, you may be opting to link your activity on the Online Service with that third-party property, which may then collect information about your visits to the Online Service and may publish that activity as you request to your "profile" or similar feature with that third party (such as if you choose to share content you find on one of the Online Service with your "connections" on the third party's property). The information we collect is subject to this Privacy Policy. However, the information collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party's privacy practices, including whether the third party continues to share information with us or with other third parties, the types of information shared, and your choices regarding what is visible to others on that third party's property. The third party may allow you to remove an application or feature, in which case we will no longer collect information about you through the application or feature, but we may retain the information previously collected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Third Party Content, Links to Other Properties and Services, and Our Content on Other Websites
Certain content on the Online Service may be hosted and served by third parties, which may include third-party widgets (such as those that allow you to "like" or "share" content with third-party websites and interactive services or to provide ratings and reviews). In addition, when you are on the Online Service you may be directed to other websites that are operated and controlled by third parties that are beyond our control. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use our logo(s) as part of a co-branding agreement. In addition, our content and widgets may be included on web pages and websites that are not associated with us and over which we have no control. These other websites may send their own Cookies to your Device, and they may independently collect data or solicit Personal Information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party.

We will retain, use and/or disclose any of the Collected Data as required or permitted by law, regulation or order, including to the police or other appropriate authorities, to investigate complaints made by or against you, or to protect or defend ourselves, or others, against illegal, criminal or harmful activities.
4. Data Retention, Managing the Collected Data
We will continue to retain the Collected Data for 12 months after the completion of PRISM Project General Audition 2022 unless local law tells us to keep it for longer. Please note that we may be required to retain certain information by law. Where we no longer require the Collected Data, it will be destroyed or de-identified in line with our policies.

5. International Transfer of the Collected Data and Consent for Processing
The Collected Data will be processed, stored and transferred for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy from your country/region of residence to various countries/regions outside your country/region of residence, including Japan and the United States. The Collected Data will be processed by staff operating outside your country/region of residence who work for us or for one of our service providers and may be seen by such staff in those countries/regions.
By using the Online Service or providing us with any information, you fully understand and consent to this transfer, processing and storage of your information in the United States and other jurisdictions, where the privacy policy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in the country/region where you reside and/or are a citizen.
This may impact your rights in your local jurisdiction and also in the applicable overseas jurisdiction(s). These overseas jurisdictions may also need to disclose your Personal Information to a third party, as an overseas authority.
6. Security
We undertake reasonable security measures designed to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of the Collected Data. We take information security very seriously but we cannot guarantee or warrant the absolute security of any information that we store on our systems or that is stored on our third-party contractors’ systems.
7. Children’s Privacy
We are committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the collection, storage and use of Personal Information concerning children, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act in the United States and applicable local legislation in other countries/regions. The Online Service is intended for a general audience; it is not directed to and does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 18. Depending on your country/region of residence, this age of children may differ. If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that your child has provided us with Personal Information without your consent, you should contact us as indicated in Section 10 below.
8. Privacy Rights
In some countries/regions, you have certain rights with respect to the Personal Information we hold about you.

In some countries/regions, you may also ask us to provide some types of the information to you in a structured, machine-readable format and ask us to share (port) such data with another controller. These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep, or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us as described in Section 10 below. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your questions, concerns or have any complaints about how we process personal data, you have a right to lodge a complaint with the local data protection supervisory authority.
