The Association has established the following technical measures in order to secure safety lest personal information of users should be lost, stolen, leaked, falsified, or damaged:

The communication information between the user browser and the server is encrypted using SSL, a security solution which makes the information leaked through hacking during communication unable to be made out.

The password of a Member ID of the Association is known only by the Member and the personal information can be checked and changed only by the Member himself/herself who knows the password. Accordingly, users should not inform their passwords to any other person. For this, the Association recommends users, basically, to log out the site and close the web browser after completing use of the Service on a PC. Such a procedure is more required when the PC is shared with other persons or after using the Service in a public place (academic society, school, library, Internet game room, etc.).

The Association is making its best efforts to prevent personal information of users from flowing out or being damaged by hacking or a computer virus. The data is frequently backed up in preparation for damage of personal information; personal information or data is prevented from flowing out or being damaged using the latest vaccine program; and transmission of personal information on the network is made safe through encrypted communication using SSL certification. And unauthorized access from outside is controlled using a firewall, and the Association is making every effort to equip the system with all other possible technical devices in order to secure systematical security.

The Association is limiting the person who can handle the works related to personal information to the worker in charge, for which a separate password is given and periodically renewed, and is emphasizing observance of the Personal Information Protection Policy of the Association at all times through frequent education of the worker in charge. And the Association checks the implementation status of the Personal Information Protection Policy of the Association and whether the worker in charge is observing it or not through the in-house organization exclusively in charge of personal information, and is making efforts to immediately correct and rectify the problem, if any.

However, the Association shall take no responsibility for the problems caused by outflow of personal information such as ID, password, resident registration number, etc. resulting from carelessness of the user or a problem on the Internet.

i. Entrusted processing of personal information

The Association may entrust processing of users' personal information to a specialized outside company for improvement of Service. When entrusting processing of personal information to an outside company, the fact shall be notified to users in advance. Also, the entrustment contract shall clearly specify observance of the instructions given by the service provider in relation to personal information protection, secrecy in the personal information, prohibition of the information from being provided to a third party, and the liabilities when an accident occurs. The content of the relevant contract shall be kept in writing or electronically.

j. Convergence of opinions related to personal information and matters related to settlement of complaints

k. Department, name and contact information of the manager and the person of the Association in charge of management of personal information

The Association is making its best efforts to enable users to safely use helpful information. The worker in charge of management of personal information takes the responsibility when an accident occurs contrary to the matters notified to users in relation to protection of personal information.

The responsibility to maintain security for the password of the ID related to the personal information of a user lies with the relevant user himself/herself. As the Association shall never directly ask a user any question about the password in whatever way, users are requested to be particularly careful not to allow the password to flow out to a third party. More attention should be paid in particular when the user is connected to the site in a public place as described in Paragraph h, "Technical/administrative measures related to personal information".
