Privacy Policy

Last updated: (9/14/2016)

Minnesota Scottish Harp Weekend operates http://www.minnesotascottishharp.org (the ‘Site’). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information we receive from users of the Site.

We use your Personal Information only for providing and improving the Site, and for registering harp competitors in our annual competition event. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information Collection And Use

In order to register for the competition, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as name, email address, phone number, and mailing address). This information is used to contact you about the event in which you have expressed interest. We also ask for demographic information (such as your age) and this is required in order to place you in the competition.

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to register you with SHSA.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, upcoming events, or changes to this privacy policy.
