This “Privacy Policy” explains the collection, use, and disclosure of “personal information” by the 35th Politzer Society Meeting (Politzer 2026 Seoul). Following the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (the “Information and Communications Network Act”), revised on September 30, 2011, this Privacy Policy also explains our commitment to preventing the misuse and abuse of personal information. As used in this policy, “personal information” means information that can identify an individual directly or indirectly, such as your name, email address, telephone number, IP address, or other online identifiers. We collect membership information to provide better services to our users.

1. Purpose of Collection and Use of Personal Information

We collect information solely for the purpose of providing services to our members and facilitating our communication with them. We do not collect or use personal information for any other purposes. The personal information provided to us by members makes it possible for us to deliver, based on it, more useful information selectively.

Emails and Newsletters

We use the personal information you provide when subscribing to our newsletter to respond to your request and to send communications related to conference news and events. Newsletters are sent only to users who have provided explicit consent to receive them.

Registered Users

When you register for a user account, you may be required to provide personal information such as your real name and email address. This information allows us to maintain your membership, assist with password recovery, and contact you for conference-related updates. Any other collection or use of personal information not described in this Privacy Policy will occur only with prior notice and consent.

2. Range of Personal Information

We collect only the minimum information reasonably necessary to provide services, including name, country, telephone number, and email address. Personal information may also be collected when subscribing to newsletters, contacting us, or registering for conference participation.

3. Maintenance and Disuse of Personal Information

Information provided through our website, or collected through the use of our website, will not be used for marketing or advertising purposes, nor shared voluntarily without permission unless legally required. We will maintain personal information as long as the user continues receiving services. Upon request for account deletion, all personal information will be permanently deleted from our database, ensuring that it cannot be accessed or used thereafter.

4. Range of Cookie Use

When members visit our site, cookies may be used only for essential and functional purposes, such as browser type, monitor information, operating system version, or login-related data. Cookies are not used to collect personally identifiable information for analytics or advertising purposes.

5. Security Management for Personal Information

We have implemented reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access or unlawful processing. However, no website can completely eliminate security risks. A prominent notice will be posted if a security breach occurs. We never ask members for their passwords. Users are encouraged to keep their login information secure and may enable two-factor authentication (2FA) where available to enhance account protection.

6. Data Usage Policy

Our Data Usage Policy explains how we maintain and use information collected through our website and server logs, including when logging in with a conference ID.

Non-Personal Browsing Information We Collect

Our servers may automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. While this information may be considered personal information under applicable laws, we use it only for internal purposes—understanding website usage, improving our systems, and administering the website.

No Linking

We do not intentionally link browsing information or server logs to the personal information you submit.

No Selling or Sharing.

We do not sell or voluntarily share browsing data with third parties except where required by law.

No Retention

The conference discards nonpersonal browsing information from our server logs once we have used the information for the limited purposes noted above, under “No Linking.” Notice If we are required to provide a third party with your nonpersonal browsing information, then, we will use reasonable means to notify you promptly of that event, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so or are otherwise advised not to notify you on the advice of legal counsel. Any other non-personal information that we collect that is not described specifically in this Privacy Policy will only be collected and used in accordance with the principles.

7. Changes and Updates to this Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will also revise the Effective Date below. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the Website constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.

8. Responsibility for Security Breach

Members are responsible for the security of the passwords for their membership accounts. We never ask its members for their passwords, either through mail or any other methods. Under no circumstances should you ever disclose your password. We ask that you pay particular attention when you are logged in, to ensure that your personal information is not divulged to others. If you have any concerns or suggestions about our Privacy Policy and management of your personal information, please do not hesitate to contact our representatives listed below through email or phone, and we will respond to you as expeditiously as possible.
