Privacy Policy

Personal information comprises all information that can be used to identify individuals (users) gained through visits to Inter BEE and usage of a number of Inter BEE web sites 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 Inter BEE 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

Inter BEE gathers personal information from users with the purpose of enhancing and improving services of Inter BEE Online and Inter BEE Pre-registration web sites (hereinafter referred to as these Inter BEE web sites, or these web sites), registering visitors prior to and during the staging of the exhibition, and accepting reservations to attend the Inter BEE Conference, International Symposium, and other special programs. Inter BEE 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 these Inter BEE web sites 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 Inter BEE. Such parties may use this information in the pursuit of the aforementioned activities on a proxy basis. In addition, user data from these Inter BEE web sites and the Inter BEE 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 Inter BEE 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 Inter BEE and exhibitors. Visitors are requested to understand that information from exhibitors might be sent directly to them via e-mail or post after Inter BEE concludes. Information-gathering activities are also used to provide registered visitors to Inter BEE with information on promotions, and the products and services of companies related to Inter BEE. Inter BEE uses personal information only for the aforementioned purposes.

Cookies and IP Addresses

When accessing these Inter BEE web sites, “cookies” (data codes) are sent to users' PCs from the Management Office server. Data including records of previous accesses to these sites by the user is subsequently sent back to the server at each access. On these web sites, cookie information is sometimes used to provide customized services to users and to tally total accesses to these web sites. IP addresses, which are numerical in format and assigned to Internet users' PCs for identification purposes, are also automatically sent from users' PCs to these web sites. The Internet cannot be accessed without an IP address. Individual IP addresses are collected to collate data on usage of these web sites 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.

Rights of Users

Users may request Inter BEE to cease the transmission of their personal information to these web sites and the provision of related services. Users can change or add to their registered personal information, or cancel their membership at anytime. Regarding personal information managed by the Secretariat, users may at any time request that the disclosure, revision, deletion, or distribution of exhibition 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 web site or contact the designated e-mail address or web site.

Security

Securing users' personal information is a very important issue to the Secretariat and these Inter BEE web sites. All of Inter BEE web sites are 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 these Inter BEE web sites. Users are urged to ensure the security of their personal information through appropriate measures on their personal computer systems. The Secretariat assumes no responsibility for the protection of personal information of users of commercial and private web sites linked to Inter BEE web site pages. Usage of these Inter BEE web sites is regarded as consenting to the content of this Privacy Policy Statement.
