The Organizer is taking the following steps in accordance with its view that appropriate usage and protection of this information is the social responsibility of Electronic Design and Solution Fair.

< Purpose of Collecting and Usage of Information > The Organizer gathers personal information from users with the purpose of enhancing and improving Electronic Design and Solution Fair web site services, registering visitors prior to and during the staging of the exhibition, and accepting reservations to attend the Electronic Design and Solution Fair Conference and other special programs. The Organizer also collects personal information for use in user questionnaires and requests for the sending of reference materials.

< Providing Information to Third Parties > No personal information collected through the Electronic Design and Solution Fair 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 Organizer. Such companies may use this information in the pursuit of the aforementioned activities on a proxy basis. Visitors to Electronic Design and Solution Fair 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 Organizer 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 Electronic Design and Solution Fair concludes. In addition, user data from this web site and the Electronic Design and Solution Fair exhibition site is sometimes provided to third parties in a format that prevents individual identification. Such information is not considered personal in nature.

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. All users to the site use these cookies to provide services customized for individual users and to count the total number of accesses. IP addresses, which are numerical in format and assigned to identify the computers of individual users, are automatically sent to the Electronic Design and Solution Fair web site on access.

However, the Organizer 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 Organizer 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 Organizer 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 Electronic Design and Solution Fair database. In such circumstances, the organizer 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 contact the appropriate dedicated e-mail address or web site address.
