The information stated below will be disclosed to the extent stated below.

  • Name and e-mail address associated with Ocapi account

    If the User uses the Automatically Send E-mails Function, the User's name and e-mail address are disclosed to the respondents that are registered.

  • Information set in the questionnaire

    The organization name set in the questionnaire and, if the Optional Report Function is used, the contextual information is disclosed on the Questionnaire Response page. The respondent's name and e-mail address registered for use with the Automatically Send E-mails Function is disclosed to the respondent himself/herself on the Questionnaire Response page which are automatically distributed to each respondent by e-mails. This is intended to confirm that the name and e-mail address are not registered incorrectly.

    The name entered by a questionnaire respondent on the Questionnaire Response page is disclosed to the Ocapi account User who set the questionnaire. Contents of responses to questionnaires and contextual information entered when using the option summary is disclosed, together with response information of all respondents to the questionnaire, to the Ocapi account User who set the questionnaire as a summarized report. No personal responses or contextual information is disclosed, although it is possible that the contents of responses or contextual information can be guessed from a report if there are very few respondents or in other limited situations.

  • Payment information

    Information obtained during the payment process at the time a questionnaire is prepared is disclosed only to the User himself/herself for the creation of a receipt.

    When preparing a questionnaire with the Service, a URL for a Questionnaire Response page is generated automatically. Anyone who knows the URL can access this Questionnaire Response page to browse information disclosed there and respond to the questionnaire. The Questionnaire Response page does not provide a password authentication function or the like, but it does generate a URL that cannot be predicted. The User should assume responsibility and exercise caution if he or she shares the URL of a Questionnaire Response page. The Questionnaire Response page becomes inaccessible when the response deadline of the questionnaire expires or when a report summarizing the response information has been output.

  • URLs of pages for downloading reports

    To send out a report summarizing questionnaire response information or to use a function to download a report that has already been output, a URL for downloading the report is generated automatically. As with the Questionnaire Response page, anyone who knows the URL can access it to download a report. The page to download a report does not provide a password authentication function or the like, but it does generate a URL that cannot be predicted. The User should assume responsibility and exercise caution if he or she shares the URL of a download page.
    The URL of a download page remains valid for one week after the output of the report. After that, it is no longer accessible. The URL generated upon use of the function for downloading a report that has already been output is valid for one day. This function can be used any number of times and a different URL is generated for each use.

4. Change and deletion of personal information

Users who sign up for an Ocapi account are given an account tool for changing the personal information that is supplied to Human Value and the personal information that is associated with the User's own account. Also, on the Manage Assessment page, a deletion tool is provided so that respondents' personal information can be deleted. The name entered by a questionnaire respondent and, if the Optional Report Function is used, the contextual information can be deleted with the deletion tool. Furthermore, if the Automatically Send E-mails Function is used, the name and e-mail address set can be deleted. If the deletion tool is not used, the personal information of a questionnaire respondent is deleted automatically 365 days after the report has been output.
The User can delete the Ocapi account permanently. In this case, the User's personal information is completely deleted from Ocapi and all questionnaires created and the respondent's personal information is completely deleted.
