Internet security

1. SSL

The User Information Website uses secure socket layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect personal information. If you use an SSL-compatible browser, the personal information you provided, such as name, address, and phone number, will be automatically encrypted when it is transmitted.
Should the data be intercepted by a third party, SSL prevents the data from being read or modified. (Because of the characteristics of the Internet, JASRI cannot warrant or guarantee 100% security in data transmission, thus you are advised to take every precaution to protect personal information when you are using the Internet. For example, change passwords often and inform JASRI promptly of any possibility of unauthorized use of personal information.)

2. System protection

JASRI’s systems are equipped with multiple checking systems and firewalls to prevent unauthorized access. In addition, JASRI limits its employee access to personal information as an internal security measure.
