| Personal information comprises
all information that can be used to identify individuals (users) gained through
visits to JISSO PROTEC and usage of the JISSO PROTEC website on the World Wide
Web. Specifically, this information includes name, gender, age, address, e-mail
address, service access and other data records, and identification numbers and/or
symbols issued by JISSO PROTEC to individuals. Also included is information that,
through comparisons with other data, can be used to identify individuals. The
Secretariat has adopted diverse measures to ensure the security of this personal
information, as follows.
Purpose of Collecting and Usage of Information
JISSO PROTEC gathers personal information from users with the purpose of enhancing
and improving JISSO PROTEC web site services, registering visitors prior to and
during the staging of the exhibition, and accepting reservations to attend the
JISSO PROTEC Conference, International Symposium, and other special programs.
JISSO PROTEC also collects personal information for use in user surveys and requests
for the sending of reference materials.
Providing Information to Third Parties
No personal information collected through the JISSO PROTEC web site will be
provided to unrelated third parties. However, this information may be provided
to partner organizations that have established their own information protection
systems and signed a contract of confidentiality with the Organizing Committee
of JISSO PROTEC. Such parties may use this information in the pursuit of the
aforementioned activities on a proxy basis. In addition, user data from this
web site and the JISSO PROTEC exhibition site is sometimes provided to third
parties in a format that prevents individual identification. Such information
is not considered personal in nature. Visitors to JISSO PROTEC are issued passes
with personalized barcodes. These barcodes are scanned on entering the exhibition
and Conference programs, and at the booths of exhibiting companies and organizations
(exhibitors). From this point, information that might be considered personal
in nature is shared between JISSO PROTEC and exhibitors. Visitors are requested
to understand that information from exhibitors might be sent directly to them
via e-mail or post after JISSO PROTEC concludes. Information-gathering activities
are also used to provide registered visitors to JISSO PROTEC with information
on promotions, and the products and services of companies related to JISSO PROTEC.
JISSO PROTEC uses personal information only for the aforementioned purposes.
Cookies and IP Addresses
When accessing the JISSO PROTEC website, "cookies" (data codes)
are sent to users' PCs from the Management Office server. Data including records
of previous accesses to the site by the user is subsequently sent back to the
server at each access. On this website, cookie information is sometimes used
to provide customized services to users and to tally total accesses to the website.
IP addresses, which are numerical in format and assigned to Internet users' PCs
for identification purposes, are also automatically sent from users' PCs to the
website. The Internet cannot be accessed without an IP address. Individual IP
addresses are collected to collate data on usage of the website and monitor trends
in site usage. These addresses are not used in any way that might lead to the
identification of individual users, excluding cases in which the legal rights
of the Secretariat are infringed upon or interfered with by a user(s), or the
potential of such infringement or interference is suspected.

information and the provision of related services. Users can change or add to
their registered personal information, or cancel their membership at anytime.

and Conference information be ceased, and/or that their personal information
be deleted from the Secretariat database.
Users who wish to change or add to their registered personal information,
or cancel their registration, should follow the instructions on the website or

is a very important issue to the Secretariat and the JISSO PROTEC website. The
JISSO PROTEC website is implementing security measures to protect against illegal
access to and the loss, destruction, and distortion of this information. However,
these security measures do not extend to the process of connecting to the JISSO
PROTEC website. Users are urged to ensure the security of their personal information
through appropriate measures on their personal computer systems.
