Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to clarify how the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee responded to overseas laws related to personal information protection, centered on GDPR, regarding the protection of personal information at the Tokyo 2020 Games. The Tokyo 2020 Games were held in the summer of 2021. In the eight years since it was decided to hold the event in 2013, regulations regarding the protection of personal information were developed and strengthened. More than 8.2 million people registered for the TOKYO 2020 ID, which was required to purchase tickets, but TOCOG needed to take many measures regarding the handling of personal information required for ID acquisition. This study investigated how the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee responded to the requirements of foreign laws such as GDPR with its terms and policies regarding the handling of personal information, as well as other websites and emails. It has been clarified that the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee responded to GDPR and US laws and regulations. In addition, it is thought that it decided to rely on the EU's GDPR, which is the most stringent among the laws and regulations of each country and region. The Tokyo 2020 Games were held without spectators, but they achieved important results in protecting the personal information.
