The International Mental Health Olympiad (IMHO) is dedicated to upholding the privacy of its participants. Our Privacy Policy is formulated to provide clarity on the collection, utilization, and protection of the information you share with us, enabling you to make well-informed choices while engaging with our services.
For the purposes of this policy, “Site” signifies the IMHO’s website, accessible at https://imholympiad.com. “Service” encompasses the offerings available through the Site, where users can sign up to partake in the IMHO. The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” represent the IMHO. “You” and “your” refer to you, as a user of our Site or Service. By using our Site or Service, you acknowledge and agree to our Privacy Policy, consenting to our processing, storage, and disclosure of your Personal Information as outlined herein.
I. INFORMATION COLLECTED
Our collection spans both “Non-Personal Information” and “Personal Information.” Non-Personal Information is data that does not personally identify you, including anonymous usage statistics, demographic details, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, submitted preferences, and the aggregate of submitted data and click numbers. Personal Information encompasses data such as your email, date of birth, full legal name, address, contact information, and any other details provided during the registration process on our Site.
- Information Collected via Technology
Initiating use of our Service requires only your email address, without necessitating other Personal Information. For continued use of our Service, submission of additional Personal Information may be required, which could include your email, date of birth, full legal name, address, contact details, and other identifying information. To enhance Service quality, we gather data provided by your browser or our software application when you access or use our Service. This includes the source website (the “referring URL”), browser type, the device used for access, access times and dates, and other non-identifying information. We collect this information through cookies—small text files with a unique anonymous identifier sent to your browser from our servers and stored on your hard drive. Cookies helps us to gather Non-Personal Information about users and maintain records of individual and collective service preferences. For instance, IMHO may utilize cookies to collect information on:
- Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses
- Device specifics
- Browser type
IMHO employs both persistent and session cookies: persistent cookies remain on your device post-session until deleted, while session cookies are cleared upon browser closure.
- Information You Provide by Registering an Account
To subscribe to the IMHO services, creating a personal profile is essential. This can be done by registering with the Service, providing your email address, and setting up a username and password. Through registration, you grant us permission to collect, store, and utilize your email address as detailed in this Privacy Policy.
- Children’s Privacy
We do not deliberately collect or solicit information from children under 13. If it comes to our attention that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 without parental or guardian consent, we will remove that information promptly. Should you suspect we have inadvertently collected such information, please get in touch with us at info@imholympiad.com.
II. HOW WE USE AND SHARE INFORMATION
Personal Information:
We commit to not selling, trading, renting, or sharing your Personal Information for marketing purposes with third parties without your explicit consent, except as specified in this Privacy Policy. Personal Information may be shared with service providers working on our behalf, such as email communication servers, which have access to your email address to send emails from us. These providers are obligated to use your Personal Information solely as directed by us and in line with this Privacy Policy.
Primarily, your Personal Information is utilized for communication purposes, such as responding to inquiries, gathering feedback, offering technical support, and informing about promotional activities.
Your Personal Information may be disclosed to external parties if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with legal proceedings or governmental requests, address fraud/security issues, or protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public as mandated or allowed by law.
Non-Personal Information:
Non-Personal Information is used to enhance the Service and personalize user experience. We also aggregate this type of information to monitor trends and analyze usage patterns on the Site. This Privacy Policy does not restrict our handling or disclosure of Non-Personal Information, and we reserve the right to share it with partners, advertisers, and others at our discretion.
Should the IMHO undergo a business change, such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Information might be transferred. You acknowledge and agree that such transfers are permissible under this Privacy Policy, and any entity that acquires our assets may continue to process your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. We will notify you of any changes to our information practices by updating this policy on our Site, and we encourage you to review our Site regularly for any concerns about how your information is used.
III. HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION
At the International Mental Health Olympiad (IMHO), we employ a variety of security measures aimed at safeguarding your personal information from unauthorized access. Your account is secured by your password, which is crucial to keep confidential. We advise you to protect your personal information by not sharing your password and logging out after each session. Additionally, we reinforce the protection of your information against potential security threats by utilizing advanced technological measures, including encryption, firewalls, and secure socket layer (SSL) technology. Nevertheless, it’s important to recognize that no security system is impenetrable. As such, while we strive to secure your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
IV. YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING THE USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We respect your right to control your personal information. Whenever we send a promotional email, you have the option to opt-out of future promotional communications by following the unsubscribe link provided in every email. Furthermore, you can express your preference to not receive marketing communications from us at any time by reaching out to us at info@imholympiad.com. It’s important to note, however, that despite your marketing preferences, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as those about your account or our ongoing business relations, including updates to our Privacy Policy.
