Nanaco: RFID emoney system in Japan

Shin'ichi Konomi has beautifully updated some of the technological progress of RFID in Japan here. Nanaco is the name of the technology - which has been widely deployed in selected Seven Eleven stores. I wonder, and still researching what is Japan's stance on the issue of privacy and data protection on this. Nevertheless, I believe the legislated data protection provisions of Japan, are less matured in terms of its application and implementation. Prove me wrong on this, if anyone wishes to debunk.
