Rahman Rahman Huq ("RRH") is dedicated to protecting the confidentiality and privacy of information entrusted to us. As part of this obligation, RRH commits to the appropriate protection and use of personal information (sometimes referred to as "personal data", "personally identifiable information", or "PII") collected online.
Our intent is to collect only the personal information provided voluntarily by online visitors so we can offer information and services or share employment opportunities. Please review this privacy statement ("Privacy Statement") to learn more about how we collect, use, share, and protect the personal information we obtain.
1.1 What information we collect
We obtain personal information about you if you choose to provide it. For example, we collect your contact information if you use it to contact our mailboxes or register for certain services. In some cases, you may have previously provided your personal information to RRH (for example, if you are a former employee or alumnus).
If you choose to register or log in to an RRH website using a third-party single sign-in service that authenticates your identity and connects your social media login information (like Google or LinkedIn) with RRH, we will collect any information needed for registration or login that you permit the social media provider to share with us. This typically includes your name and email address. Other information we collect depends on the privacy settings you have established with your social media provider. Please review the privacy statement or policy of the applicable service.
1.2 Automatic collection of personal information
In some instances, RRH and its service providers use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to automatically collect certain types of information when you visit us online or through emails we exchange. Collecting this information allows us to customize your online experience, improve the performance, usability, and effectiveness of our online presence, and measure the success of our communication activities.
