Before an administrative entity directly acquires personal information on an identifiable person that is recorded in a document (including an electronic or magnetic record), the administrative entity must clearly indicate the purpose of use to that person, except in the following cases:
cases in which there is an urgent need to protect the life, wellbeing or property of an individual;
人の生命、身体又は財産の保護のために緊急に必要があるとき。
cases in which indicating the purpose of use to the identifiable person clearly is likely to cause harm to the life, wellbeing, property, or other rights or interests of the identifiable person or a third party;
cases in which indicating the purpose of use to the identifiable person clearly is likely to hinder the proper execution of the process or service of a national government organ, incorporated administrative agency or other prescribed corporation, local government, or local incorporated administrative agency;
cases in which the purpose of use is found to be clear in light of the circumstances of the acquisition.
