These regulations also state the measures to be taken in the event of an incident and procedures for subsequent management.

Personal Information Protection Management System
The Kyocera Group regards the personal information obtained from stakeholders through business activities as important private information and strives to protect it thoroughly as a primary social responsibility. Kyocera has set up rules to protect specific personal information, clarified personal information usage purposes, set up a dedicated contact for inquiries, and provides regular education to employees handling private information, thereby ensuring thorough management. Also, regulations for Personal Information Protection have been established for employees to establish basic matters regarding the safeguarding of personal information, including a code of conduct for employees who handle personal information and the use of personal information management ledgers to monitor the management status of personal information centrally. Kyocera strives to ensure correct handling of personal information to maintain society's trust by preventing personal information from being compromised. These Personal Information Protection Management Regulations require employees to take necessary measures such as contacting related divisions, preventing the spread of damage, and carrying out investigations if personal information is leaked. Cases such as the leakage of personal details are incorporated into Kyocera's risk management policy by establishing the Kyocera Group Information Security Incident Management Regulations. The Personal Information Protection Management Regulations also stipulate that employees may be subject to disciplinary action if personal information is compromised. Kyocera strives to disseminate its Personal Information Protection Policy and Personal Information Protection Management Regulations within the company and enhance its effectiveness through regular training, surveys, and audits.
