Our approach to Personal Data
As well as the personal information we hold on our own employees, we collect and use certain data about individuals employed by/working for our corporate clients. This information is covered by the European data protection law.

In addition to the more detailed reasons we set out in our Privacy Notice, in summary we collect and use information about individuals employed by/working for our clients for three main purposes:
- to satisfy our regulatory obligations with respect to anti-money laundering legislation, 'know your client' obligations and various other regulatory or legal requirements;
- to enable us to provide services and products to our clients (for example, by collecting contact details for trade confirmations, reconciliations, and the details of individuals should we provide certain payments services on behalf of our clients); and
- for marketing purposes so that we can discuss our product offering with our clients and send them information about Mizuho Financial Group services and products.
If individuals employed by/working for our clients no longer want to receive any such communications from us, they are free to opt out at any time by informing their relationship manager, or replying to the relevant email and asking to unsubscribe.
