Contact Information includes your name, address, phone number, email address, workplace or organizational affiliations, and your parent or guardian’s information if you are a minor or an adult with a legal guardian.

You have the right to:

• Limit the sharing of your information with third parties for direct marketing purposes;

INFORMATION SECURITY

We are committed to ensuring the privacy of your personal information and have established safeguards to help protect such information. For example, to protect your privacy, Special Olympics New Hampshire uses passwords to help verify authorized user identity before granting access anywhere your personal information is stored. All online monetary transactions are done on a secure server. This means that information entered on the transaction page is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) before transmission. On secure pages, a “closed” lock symbol is displayed in the bottom part of your browser screen and the website address in the address bar at the top of the browser screen starts with an “https” instead of an “http.” Though we strive to ensure the security of your information on our systems, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

WEBSITE LINKS

In order to provide certain services and goods at our website, we contract with other companies and individuals. These additional services and goods may include links to other websites from our website. Special Olympics New Hampshire’ privacy practices may not be applicable at any third-party sites. When you leave the Special Olympics New Hampshire website, we have no control regarding what information may be collected about you, nor do we control what third parties might do with the information. It is important that you review any privacy policies on third-party sites carefully before you use any services or programs offered.
