解説
問 1
- ア
正解 Under the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, a Personal Information Handling Business Operator refers to a private-sector operator that uses a personal information database, etc., in its business. However, the Act clearly excludes national government agencies, local public bodies, incorporated administrative agencies (and the like), and local incorporated administrative agencies from this category of Personal Information Handling Business Operators (because the handling of personal information by these entities is governed by separate laws). The bank in choice ア is a private-sector operator, and because it uses a database of personal information about its depositors in its business, it qualifies as a Personal Information Handling Business Operator. Therefore, the correct answer is ア.
Incorrectイ
A local public body is a public institution that is excluded from the definition of a Personal Information Handling Business Operator set out in the Act on the Protection of Personal Information. Even though it manages the Basic Resident Register, it is not a private-sector operator, so it does not qualify.
Incorrectウ
A national university corporation is treated as one of the incorporated administrative agencies (and the like) and is excluded from Personal Information Handling Business Operators. Even though it manages examinees' personal information, it does not qualify.
Incorrectエ
The National Tax Agency is a national government agency (an administrative agency) and is excluded from the definition of a Personal Information Handling Business Operator. Even though it manages taxpayers' information, it does not qualify.
ここがポイント
- A Personal Information Handling Business Operator is a private-sector operator that uses a personal information database, etc., in its business. National government agencies, local public bodies, incorporated administrative agencies (and the like), and local incorporated administrative agencies are excluded from the definition (because they are governed by separate laws).
- The key point is being able to distinguish excluded public institutions (the national government, local governments, national university corporations, etc.) from private-sector operators that do qualify (banks, etc.).
