I’d like to ask something. I’m sorry if this comes across as a rude question.
This content is machine-translated.
I used to be a female member and was registered with Universe Club for a while. I quit after about a year, but even after leaving, I received several solicitation messages from Universe Club over the next five years asking if I wanted to start again. It made me wonder—and worry—whether my personal information had never been deleted.
After that, various things happened and I ended up debuting as a talent in the entertainment industry. I’m not successful at all, so I don’t think I’m particularly well-known, but ever since then I’ve been filled with anxiety. What if the club still has my personal information? What if they sell it to a weekly magazine or something?
I know I was foolish to do something without thinking about my future.
It’s already been quite a few years since I left the club, but is it possible that they still have my personal information and that it could eventually be exposed? I’m not successful at all, so even if people found out, they might just say, “Who?”...
Still, I imagine there may be other celebrities or aspiring talents who have registered as well. If anyone knows anything about how identity exposure works in situations like this, I’d really appreciate hearing about it.
This is Kobayashi from the Tokyo branch.
I believe there is virtually no chance—99.9%—of information being leaked from the club side. (Though I can’t say it’s 100%.)
Your dating records and other information are also stored in a highly secure system, so please rest assured.
Regarding your membership information after you leave the club, we will handle it in accordance with our privacy policy:

I’m Joe.
Mr. Maezawa says there’s no need to worry, but with all due respect, I don’t see any basis for feeling reassured. Companies generating tens or even hundreds of times Universe’s revenue have suffered data breaches. Whether they were deliberate or accidental is beside the point.
Joe belongs to one of Universe’s branches, and a few years ago, the email addresses of Joe and several other male members were leaked. I’m not sure whether this qualifies as the “identity exposure” the questioner is referring to, but several male members were able to identify one another through those addresses. If anything, it brought us closer (lol).
More importantly, I think the questioner has their priorities wrong. If you’re not successful yet, your top priority should be becoming more successful—not worrying about your past being exposed. I know absolutely nothing about the entertainment industry, but let’s worry about your identity being exposed after you’ve made it!
P.S.
I was stunned by the sheer cluelessness of Mr. Kobayashi from the Tokyo branch, who apparently read about Joe’s experience and then brazenly declared, “You’re 99.9% safe.”

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here—I’ll answer as well.
Thank you for your question.
Your identity will not be exposed by the people running the service.
If you think about it, it’s obvious that if they did something like that, no one would come to register.
It’s hard to imagine information being valuable enough to sacrifice a company that earns over ¥1.4 billion a year.
I believe you can feel reassured.
P.S. What I mean is that there’s a 99.9% chance the company would never intentionally sell your information to a weekly magazine or anything like that.
Sorry for sounding biased in favor of my own company.
That’s what I meant when I said you could feel reassured, but I’m sorry for any trouble caused by my mistake.
