Preface:
At Safie Inc., guided by our vision of “Create a better future with intelligent vision”, we offer a cloud
video platform accessible to everyone. Our purpose is to contribute to building a safe and secure society byvisualizing and addressing previously unseen challenges through the use of video data.
Our platform has already been actively used in various industries, such as retail stores and construction
sites, as well as for personal residences and community monitoring purposes. The potential applications forour platform are vast and limitless. We will continue to help solve challenges by actively utilizing video dataand other related data in response to our customers’ needs in the future. As our services are employed
across a wide range of locations, our platform handles not only personal data, but also various other types ofdata. Our stakeholders range widely, from users of our services, individuals whose images appears in video
data, partners*, public agencies, to the entire community.
We believe that in a scenario where the range of scenes covered by our video platform expands as a key
component of the data-driven society and the volume of data processed surges, it is essential to handle data
properly. This ensures that customers can use our platform with confidence and supports our goal ofbuilding a safe and secure society. Improper handling of video data in our services could infringe on theprivacy of individuals, raise concerns about surveillance, intensify discrimination and prejudice and,ultimately, threaten foundational societal values such as democracy.
Given such considerations, we have established this charter as a set of principles of conduct aimed atachieving the safe and secure society we envision. Ensuring the appropriate handling of data also involvesaligning our customers as users of our platform and other stakeholders with these principles. As such, we arecommitted to fostering an open dialogue with all stakeholders and working together to achieve robust data
governance.
This charter serves as our guideline and, we ask our platform’s customers, partners, and other stakeholders
to understand and assist in upholding the principles of this charter. We will continually review the content of
