The survey was conducted on the tourism app ‘Kyoto Concierge Service’ with the trust function linking to Personal Data Store (PDS). The function is to disclose personal information to service providers, instead of an information provider, based on directions of an information provider or regulated conditions in advance, and by using the function, a traveler can get information suitable for individual needs in traveling.
