Violation
In relation to an incident involving the leakage of specific user information, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications conducted administrative guidance to LINE Yahoo Corporation. The guidance emphasized ensuring proper management of specific user information and adherence to external transmission regulations, and required reporting on the implementation of preventive measures. Treenod Inc., which develops and operates the LINE Game app provided by LINE Yahoo Corporation, transmitted user identifiers (such as MID) to a third-party data analysis company without approval or notification, for advertising analysis purposes. This resulted in approximately 8.03 million leaks over about four years, including approximately 7.52 million within Japan.
