These measures aim, in particular, to protect your Personal Data against destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, both accidental and intentional.
However, no method of transmission of data on the internet and no method of storage (in either an electronic or a physical environment) can be entirely secure. We endeavor to protect your Personal Data to the best of our abilities, but we cannot guarantee an absolute security or integrity during the transmission of your data from your system to ours. Any transmission is at your own risk.
The storing and processing of your Personal Data as outlined above will sometimes require that we transfer and/or store your Personal Data outside of your country or region of residence.

Where the Act on the Protection of Personal Information of Japan (the “Act”) applies and we transfer your Personal Data outside of Japan, we will take all necessary measures through contracts based on the Act and any applicable guidelines. Where GDPR applies and the country of destination is outside of the EU and does not provide a level of protection of personal data equivalent to that of the EU, we will take all necessary measures, either through an Adequacy Decision by the European Commission or, in the absence of such a decision, through appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses.
Nissan stores your Personal Data for a period that is reasonable and/or as required by law. The storage period will depend on the purposes for which we have collected and used your Personal Data, and as required by any relevant legislations.

If you object to the processing of your Personal Data for electronic marketing purposes, we will retain your Personal Data for the duration necessary to comply with, and prove our compliance with, your request, and will delete your Personal Data unless they are necessary for the accomplishment of another purpose, such as the use of our Site or services.
For any other type of processing aside from electronic marketing, we retain your Personal Data for the entire duration of our commercial relationship and, at its termination, we keep your Personal Data for the maximum duration authorized by law for tax and accounting purposes.
