This notice describes our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing the personal data we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our websites, programs, and events or other digital properties, services, communications, or forms that link or refer to this notice (together, our "MoHA Assets"). This notice applies to the personal data collected through our MoHA Assets, regardless of the country where you are located.
The MoHA Assets may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks or applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow the third party to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites, and we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.
We do not rent or sell personal data to third parties. We will not transfer or share this information unless compelled by law, or under the specific conditions listed below, and we will challenge any subpoena or other demand by government or private organizations or individuals to access it.
Please read this notice carefully to understand our policies and practices for processing and storing your personal data. By engaging with our MoHA Assets, you accept and consent to the practices described in this notice. This notice may change from time to time (see page history and changes). Your continued engagement with our MoHA Assets after any such revisions indicates that you accept and consent to them, so please check the notice periodically for updates.
Data We May Collect About You
We do collect and use different types of data from and about you when you visit our MoHA Assets, or subscribe to our campaigns or mailing lists, including:
- Personal data that we could reasonably use to directly or indirectly identify you, such as your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, or other similar identifier, or any other information the website collects that is defined as personal or personally identifiable information under applicable law ("personal data").
- Demographic information when submitted to us (for example, age, race/ethnicity, geographical information, sexual orientation, gender identity). This info helps us improve our programs. It also helps with grant reporting for program funding. This data helps inform us about who we're reaching and if we are meeting our outreach goals.
- Technical information, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, or operating system and platform.
When you submit information on our site using third party forms, data may be collected by those vendors and processed subject to their terms of service.
Treatment of Data as Personal Data
If we combine or connect non-personal, technical, or demographic data with personal data so that it directly or indirectly identifies an individual, we treat the combined information as personal data.
We use the information that you have given us in order to:
- Provide you with the information, services and support that you request from us
- Respond to your queries, questions and requests for information.
- Meet our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts or agreements with you, including for billing or collections, or comply with legal requirements.
- Fulfill the purposes for which you provided the data or that were described when it was collected.
We take industry standard security measures to protect personal information under our control from loss, misuse, and breach, but like with every website, there are risks associated with uploading your information online.
When you are asked for your personal data, you are sharing that information with MoHA alone, unless stated otherwise. We use this information to further our mission.
- MoHA’s employees and board members to improve programming and serve our mission

How we store your personal information
The security of your personal data is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards designed to protect your personal data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure.
