That kind of thing is annoying. Understandable, but annoying. I work freelance most of the time so I usually don't have to deal with company security policies, but they do hit me sometimes. The car companies are the most paranoid. (And Toyota is the worst). When I visit one of those companies, I have to turn in my phone, my Apple Watch, and if I have it, my laptop and leave them all with the security office; I have to have my fingerprints taken, and sign a sworn statement that I won't steal any corporate secrets.

Funny enough, Japanese companies haven't seemed to get the memo that email is insecure. Common corporate practice when a password is sent is one email will say something like "stand by for the password" and the next email will contain the password only with no other text. I've argued to many people here that that is not really the most secure method to send a password, but I just get blank stares back. Oh well.

Sorry, I kind of rambled off. At any rate, yeah, annoying but understandable.

Do you think an industrial spy would say, "Sorry, I can't sign that" :D
It is like child abuse laws - people who abuse children, don't care about the law.

It is funny how people share information in companies. The company I work for is info management, so it is pretty good with this kind of thing, but some of the stuff we see...

haha I know. It's very silly. But it's far from the silliest thing I've run into at Japanese companies. I've learned to just roll with stuff like that and not question it.
