3. Our lawful basis for processing personal information

OCS protects your personal information by ensuring that it can only be used to the extent necessary for specific purposes (as set out in Part 3 of Chapter 1 of this Privacy Policy) and by requiring that there is a lawful basis for each processing activity on the basis of Data Protection Laws.

This is typically why we process customer information which is essential to providing our services, including a customer’s identity, contact, payment and travel details, etc.

* Secure sockets layer (SSL) mechanism

Before customers send their personal information, SSL performs electronic communication concerning security (digital authentication and digital signature) between OCS and customers, and transmits data after mutual authentication. At that time, communication between OCS and a customer is disturbed by random numbers and erroneous transmissions, which are sent to a third party, preventing attempts to steal data by impersonating the customer.

In addition, information transmitted by SSL is encrypted concurrently using two types of cryptographic scheme: public key cryptosystem (RSA) and common key cryptosystem (secret key cryptosystem). An electronic "key" is required to decrypt this information. Even if the information is intercepted by a third party, it is impossible to decrypt the encrypted information without the correct key. Types of key are limited, however, it is extremely difficult for a third party to decipher the information because it takes an unrealistically long time to try all keys in order and reach the correct key, even if the third party uses electronic means with a personal computer, etc.
