Thank you for taking the time to review the privacy policy of the Hajj Assessment Services Organization (HASO) Inc.. We respect your online privacy and are committed to protecting it. HASO has established this privacy policy so that you can understand how HASO collects your personal information and uses it. Any questions regarding this policy can be directed to info hajjratings.com .

Why HASO collects personal information about you
HASO uses personal information to better understand your needs and interests and to customize the information and services we provide you.

What HASO collects and how we use it
Visitor (non-member) information is collected and stored automatically. If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, we gather certain information about your visit automatically. You do not have to register with HASO before we can collect this information.

The information we collect is anonymous and non-personal—we make no effort to identify public users of our site. Data that we collect are used only for server administration and web protocol research. This statement applies to non-member interactions with HASO’s web servers. It does not apply to email sent to HASO staff or lists. Email interactions are guided by general net-etiquette conventions.

As is typical, we log HTTP requests to our server. This means that we know the IP address from which you access our website, your browser and platform type, and referral data such as the website from which you linked to HASO’s website (hajjratings.com). We occasionally analyze the log files to determine which files are most requested and, if you linked to our web page from another site, the site that prompted the request.

Logged, anonymous information is kept indefinitely as administrative and research material. We use this information to help make our site more useful to visitors. Non-identifying statistics generated from this information may be reported as part of research results.

Personal (member) information collected
We use member-related personal information for the purposes of administering the web site, and communicating and collaborating with our members. Members’ interactions with the site are authenticated; consequently, we have the capability to identify you and your activities and to store personal information that you provide us.

Security
HASO has security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your personal information under our control. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to personal data will not occur, we take many precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.

HASO uses physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect any personally identifiable data stored on our computers and premises. Only authorized employees have access to the information you provide us. All of your user areas are password protected and we encrypt all data traffic using Secure Socket Layer with a certificate issued by Thawte.
