What is the Privacy Mark?

The Privacy Mark system, instituted under Japan Industrial Standard “JIS Q 15001,” evaluates businesses on their ability to create a strong framework for safeguarding personal information. By adhering to these criteria, firms can earn the Privacy Mark designation and utilize it to demonstrate compliance with stringent privacy management practices in their business operations.

The recent certification signifies that Another Works meets recognized standards for personal data protection and information security, validated by an independent evaluation body.
