MHRI may collect your personal information when you contact us in person, by phone or through the internet.
The kind of personal information we generally collect may include your name, address, telephone numbers, e-mail address, areas of research interest, donation history, event attendance and payment (including credit card) details.
Where possible we will inform you that we are collecting your personal information and of how we intend to use it.

We use this personal information to keep you informed of our research, education and fundraising activities.

Security, Access and Accuracy
To keep personal information secure from misuse, loss or unauthorised use or disclosure, we restrict physical access to our offices. We also use firewalls and secure databases. However, the Internet is not a secure environment and if you send us information via the Internet you do so at your own risk.
We also value the importance of keeping our records current and your right to access personal information we hold about you. If you think that any information we hold about you is inaccurate, or if you wish to access your personal information or complain about our use of it, please contact us. We will use all reasonable steps to comply with your request and if we deny your request for access, we will tell you why.
