Privacy Policy

Strategic Science Institute (SSI) collects and processes only the information necessary to respond to inquiries, manage communication, evaluate service requests, and provide analytical services.

Personal Information Collected

SSI does not operate a membership or account registration system. As a general rule, SSI only processes personal information that users voluntarily provide through email inquiries or other communication channels.

The categories of personal information that may be processed include email address, name or display name, affiliated organization, information contained in the inquiry itself, and any other information voluntarily provided by the user.

In addition, technical information such as access logs, cookies, IP addresses, browser information, or similar technical data may be processed through website hosting, domain, security, analytics, email, or related technical infrastructure in the course of website operation.

Purpose of Processing Personal Information

SSI processes collected personal information only for responding to inquiries, maintaining communication, reviewing service-related requests, assessing potential contracts or collaborations, complying with legal obligations, responding to disputes, and operating or securing the website.

Retention and Use Period

SSI will, in principle, delete personal information without undue delay once the purpose of processing has been fulfilled.

However, personal information may be retained to the extent necessary for managing inquiry history and follow-up communication, complying with applicable laws or regulations, handling contractual, tax, or dispute-related matters, or maintaining ongoing communication requested by the user.

Provision of Personal Information to Third Parties

SSI does not sell, disclose, or otherwise provide users' personal information to third parties at its own discretion.

Exceptions may apply where the user has given prior consent, where disclosure is required by law, or where processing is necessary for the provision of technical infrastructure related to website, email, hosting, security, analytics, or communication operations.

Entrustment of Personal Information Processing

SSI may use third-party service infrastructure for website hosting, domain management, email communication, security, analytics, file storage, or other technical operations.

In such cases, personal information may be processed within the technical operating environment of those service providers only to the extent necessary for the relevant service operation.

Deletion of Personal Information

SSI will delete personal information without undue delay once the purpose of processing has been achieved or the applicable retention period has expired.

Electronic files will be deleted in a manner intended to prevent recovery or restoration, and printed materials will be shredded or otherwise destroyed by equivalent means.

Rights of Data Subjects

Users may request access to, correction of, deletion of, or suspension of processing of their personal information.

Such requests may be submitted through the contact information provided below, and SSI will review and respond to them in accordance with applicable law.

Cookies and Technical Information

In the course of using the website, cookies or technical information may be processed by hosting providers, browser systems, security tools, analytics tools, or other technical infrastructure used to operate and maintain the website.

The handling of cookies may depend on the user's browser settings and the policies of the relevant technical service providers.
