Information Collection
Information collected online is generally defined as either anonymous or personally identifiable:
Anonymous Information refers to data that cannot be linked back to a specific individual. For example, we may know that 1,000 people visited this Privacy Policy today, but we do not know their names, addresses, or other personal details.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) refers to information that specifically identifies you, such as your name, phone number, email address, or mailing address.
What Personally Identifiable Information We Collect
NHAHA may collect Personally Identifiable Information through forms on our website, including contact forms, event registrations, and training sign-ups. This information may include your name, company name, address, telephone number, and email address. You may also provide additional details when uploading a document or submitting a form.
We use this information only for the purpose it was submitted — for example, to respond to an inquiry, process a registration, or provide member-related services.
