<h3>How your information is stored and secured</h3>
<p>
MIT uses risk-assessed administrative, technical and physical security
measures to protect your personal information. Your information lives in
a Postgres database (behind a Virtual Private Cloud) administered by
Amazon Web Services. Direct database access is restricted to MITOC's
elected webmasters.
</p>

<h3>How long we keep your personal information</h3>
<p>
We automatically remove all participant-supplied medical information
after 6 months of activity. You can remove most profile information at
any time. Legal waivers, any monetary payments to the club, and
any participation on past trips are retained indefinitely.
</p>

<h3>Rights for Individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK)</h3>
<p>
You have the right in certain circumstances to (1) access your personal
information; (2) to correct or erase information; (3) restrict processing; and
(4) object to communications, direct marketing, or profiling. To the extent
applicable, the EEA’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides
further information about your rights. You also have the right to lodge
complaints with your national or regional data protection authority.
</p>

<p>
If you are inclined to exercise these rights, we request an opportunity
to discuss with you any concerns you may have. To protect the personal
information we hold, we may also request further information to verify
your identity when exercising these rights. Upon a request to erase
information, we will maintain a core set of personal data to ensure we do
not contact you inadvertently in the future, as well as any information
necessary for MIT archival purposes. We may also need to retain some
financial information for legal purposes, including US IRS compliance. In
the event of an actual or threatened legal claim, we may retain your
information for purposes of establishing, defending against or exercising
our rights with respect to such claim.
</p>

<p>
By providing information directly to MIT, you consent to the transfer of
your personal information outside of the European Economic Area to the
United States. You understand that the current laws and regulations of
the United States may not provide the same level of protection as the
data and privacy laws and regulations of the EEA.
</p>

<p>
You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide any
personal data to us. The controller for your personal information is MIT.
</p>

<p>
If you are in the EEA or UK and wish to assert any of your applicable GDPR
rights, please contact <a href="[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.

significant changes in the way we treat your personal information we will
make this clear on our MIT websites or by contacting you directly.
