<Treatment of Personal Information>
The CEATEC JAPAN Organizing Committee (hereinafter “the Committee”)
has implemented numerous plans to firmly position CEATEC JAPAN
as one of Asia’s leading exhibitions of products and technologies
in fields related to information technology (IT). To maintain
and further promote the exhibition’ s status, the Committee
intends to work exhaustively to contribute to the rapid development
of markets, business environments and lifestyles of the future
by presenting a variety of perspectives based on a firm grasp
of the potential of broadband communications. In aiming
toward the realization of tomorrow’s broadband society,
the Committee fully understands the importance to the future
of CEATEC JAPAN of appropriately handling personal information. |
<CEATEC JAPAN Personal Information
Protection Policy>
Personal information comprises all information that can be
used to identify individuals (users) gained through visits
to CEATEC JAPAN and usage of the CEATEC JAPAN site on the
World Wide Web. Specifically, this information includes the
name, gender, age, address, e-mail address, service access
and other data records, and identification numbers and/or
symbols issued by CEATEC JAPAN to individuals. Also included
is information that, through comparisons with other data,
can be used to identify individuals. The Committee is taking
the following steps in accordance with its view that appropriate
usage and protection of this information is the social responsibility
of CEATEC JAPAN. |
<Purpose of Collecting and Usage
of Information>
The Committee gathers personal information from users with
the purpose of enhancing and improving CEATEC JAPAN web site
services, registering visitors prior to and during the staging
of the exhibition, and accepting reservations to attend the
CEATEC JAPAN Conference and other special programs. The Committee
also collects personal information for use in user questionnaires
and requests for the sending of reference materials. Information
gathering activities are also used to provide registered
visitors to CEATEC JAPAN with information on promotions,
and the products and services of companies related to CEATEC
JAPAN.
The Committee uses personal information only for the above
purposes. |
<Providing Information to Third
Parties>
No personal information collected through the CEATEC JAPAN
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 Committee.
Such companies may use this information in the pursuit of
the aforementioned activities on a proxy basis. Visitors
to CEATEC JAPAN are issued passes with personalized barcodes.
These barcodes are read 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
the Committee and the exhibitor. Visitors are requested
to understand that information from exhibitors might be
sent directly to them via e-mail or the posts after CEATEC
JAPAN concludes.
In addition, user data from this web site and the CEATEC
JAPAN exhibition site is sometimes provided to third parties
in a format that prevents individual identification. Such
information is not considered personal in nature. |
<Cookies and IP Addresses>
In terms of the CEATEC JAPAN web site, “cookies” are data
codes sent to a user’s computer from the Committee’s server
when the user accesses the CEATEC JAPAN web site. This data,
which includes a record of previous accesses to the site by
the user, is sent back from the user’s computer at each access.
These cookies are used to provide services customized for
individual users and to count the total number of accesses
by all users to the site.
IP addresses, which are numerical in format and assigned
to identify the computers of individual users, are automatically
sent to the CEATEC JAPAN web site on access.
Computers cannot access the Internet without an IP address.
Individual IP addresses are collected to collate data on
usage of the web site and monitor trends in site usage,
but these addresses are not used in any way that might lead
to the identification of individual users. However, the
Committee shall be exempt from this stipulation if its legal
rights are infringed upon or interfered with by a user(s),
or the potential of such infringement or interference is
suspected. |
<Rights of Users>
Information provided to the Committee is done so at the discretion
of users, and individual users may therefore reserve the right
to not provide personal information. However, by choosing
not to provide requested information, users acknowledge that
they will be ineligible to take advantage of certain services.
Users may request the Committee to cease the transmission
of their personal information and the provision of related
services. If a user requests that registration be cancelled,
his or her personal information will be deleted from the
CEATEC JAPAN database. In such circumstances, the Committee
will immediately dispatch the request to and seek the same
measures from exhibitors, as well.
To change registration information for e-mail transmissions
or cancel other registrations, please visit the related
web site and follow the instructions provided, or contact
the appropriate dedicated e-mail address or web site address. |
<Security>
Ensuring the security of personal information provided by
users is an important issue for the Committee and the CEATEC
JAPAN web site. Extensive measures have been taken to protect
personal information on this web site from inappropriate access,
disclosure, tampering and destruction. However, this protection
does not extend to the transmission lines between users’ computers
and the Committee’s server. For this reason, users are urged
to take all appropriate measures to manage the security of
personal information at their sites. Amendments to This
Policy
The Committee reserves the right to amend its Privacy Policy
as it considers necessary and appropriate. Amended policies
will take effect from the date of their posting. Individual
users will not be provided with prior notice regarding amendments.
The Committee therefore recommends that users regularly
visit this page to confirm the most up-to-date privacy policies. |
