User Access Log

This site records information about users through an access log. This log contains an access-related record of a domain name, IP address, type of browser used, access date and time, etc., of users who access the site. It is used for the efficient running of the site and statistical analysis regarding the maintenance and usage situation of the website but is not used for other purposes. This access log does not contain information that can identify individuals.

SSL

This site uses SSL to protect personal information. Using the security function of a supporting browser, when a user accesses this site, a third party will automatically encrypt personal information, including name and email address, received by the server when it is entered and sent to the server. Therefore, even if the data sent is intercepted, there is no need to worry about the contents being stolen.

If a user uses a browser that does not support SSL, this site cannot be accessed, or information cannot be input.

Websites of Links

Some of our website content allows users to move to other websites to acquire information that is beneficial for them. Our association does not operate these links' websites, so this policy does not cover them.
