How it is collected
Not collected by us today. We search for rights-holders in Japan, confirm what exists and on what terms, then scope delivery with you.
Quality assurance
Native-speaker review of a sample set before delivery, schema and format validation, duplicate checks, and a written QA report agreed in advance. Additional de-identification review applies because this category can involve personal data.
Licensing & usage
Rights are established per source. Terms (scope of training use, exclusivity, term, territory) are negotiated with the rights-holder and set out in a written agreement before any data moves.
Sensitive category. This kind of data can involve personal information. We require documented consent, de-identification review and a lawful basis before any collection or transfer.
