Supplement to Tokaido Sanyo Kyushu Shinkansen Internet Reservation Service Privacy Policy (the “Global Privacy Policy”)

For European Economic Area (“EEA”) and UK Customers

Besides “Tokaido Sanyo Kyushu Shinkansen Internet Reservation Service Privacy Policy”, this Privacy Policy sets forth the policies which will be applied to the processing of Personal Data of data subjects in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the UK in accordance with both the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“EU GDPR”) and domestic law in the UK which will be enforced by adding necessary amendments to the EU GDPR, so that the same contents under the EU GDPR, which were previously enforceable in the UK as part of EU law prior to its departure from the EU, will apply to the UK post-Brexit (“UK GDPR”). In the event of the provisions resulting in a conflict between “Tokaido Sanyo Kyushu Shinkansen Internet Reservation Services Privacy Policy” and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy will prevail.
