①When disclosing all or a part of personal information an administrative entity holds that is subject to a request for disclosure, the administrative organ's head or administrative entity must make a decision to that effect, and notify the person requesting disclosure of that decision, the purpose of use of that personal information to be disclosed, and matters specified by Cabinet Order relating to the implementation of disclosure in writing; provided, however, that this does not apply to the purpose of use in cases that fall under Article 62, item (ii) or item (iii).

②If an administrative organ's head or administrative entity decides not to disclose any personal information the administrative entity holds that is subject to a request for disclosure (this includes the cases in which the administrative organ's head or administrative entity refuses a request for disclosure pursuant to the provisions of the preceding Article or does not hold that personal information), the administrative organ's head or administrative entity must notify the person requesting disclosure to that effect in writing.
