This Subprofile feature of LINE App (the “Subprofile Service”) is provided exclusively for Members of LINE Premium Membership. Use of the Subprofile Service constitutes agreement to the terms herein. Even if your LINE Premium Membership is canceled, these terms shall remain effective during the applicable 30-day grace period and upon reactivation, as stated in the LINE Premium User Guide. “LINE Premium Membership” means the paid membership service provided by LY Corporation (the “Company”) through LINE App, which allows Members to access exclusive features, including the Subprofile Service. “Member” refers to a person who is subscribed to LINE Premium Membership. Any matters not stipulated herein, as well as any conflict or inconsistency between these terms and the LINE Premium User Guide, shall be governed by and subject to the provisions of the LINE Premium User Guide.

  1. If misuse of the Subprofile Service—such as fraud, impersonation, or other forms of abuse—is reported by other users and verified by the Company, your LINE account may be subject to restriction or suspension, in accordance with LY Corporation’s Terms of Use and applicable policies.
  2. Regarding Main Profiles and Subprofiles
    1. The “Main Profile” refers to the profile information (such as image and display name) configured by the user upon LINE account creation. The “Subprofile” refers to additional profile information created through the Subprofile Service and set to be displayed to specific users of LINE App.
    2. Information related to the Subprofile Service, including your Main Profile, Subprofiles (including any previously set versions), and the relationships between these profiles, may be visible to other users depending on the context of use (e.g., chat rooms, notifications). You cannot designate which profile will be shown to which user. Please ensure that you fully understand and accept this aspect before using the service.
    3. The Subprofile may be used in services that utilize LINE App’s friend relationships, including certain third-party services linked via LINE App. For a full list of services where the Subprofile is available, please refer to Section 3: Details on Services Available for Subprofile Usage.
    4. In certain services, your Main Profile may be displayed to users even if a Subprofile has been set for them.

This setting can be managed under LINE App Settings > Privacy Management > Information Access from Apps.
      9. If a linked app requests friend or group information, the service provider may be able to access both your main profile and Subprofile, and identify which profile is shown to which friends.
