This policy discloses our practices with respect to information collected through use of the MOEMS® website and the services we provide to our members (“PICOs”).
MOEMS® can only collect information that you provide via our registration forms. The information is stored in a secure database, accessible only to MOEMS® staff. We may share your personally identifiable information with our third-party vendors performing functions on our behalf – e.g., vendors that process credit card orders, deliver our merchandise, or analyze our data. Our coordinators and vendors agree to use this information only to carry out our requests.
MOEMS® uses the collected information to run its program and to generate aggregated statistics about the Math Olympiads Competition Series.
We do not release the names of individual students, their parents or teachers to any organization for profit.
Names of select students and the schools or club are entered on an Honor Roll, which is available on the password protected MOEMS® website. The Honor Roll consists of students who have achieved a cumulative score of between 96% and 100% on the year’s set of five contests (24 or 25 points). The Honor Roll also contains the names of teams, institutes, or clubs and their locations (city, state) that have scored in the top 20% of their divisions.
For any school, institute or club that does not wish to be listed in this Honor Roll, a written correspondence from the PICO should be addressed to:
Director, MOEMS®, 2154 Bellmore Ave, Bellmore NY 11710-5645 or email mfordin@moems.org with Subject: Privacy Policy Issue.
MOEMS® does not sell, rent or exchange any information that personally identifies our PICOs or website visitors. MOEMS® will only disclose personally identifying information if such disclosure is required to comply with the law.
While no physical or electronic security system is impenetrable, MOEMS® strives to maintain levels of privacy and security consistent with the best practices in information technology. All payments made on the website use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to provide you with the maximum level of security. SSL prohibits other parties from accessing your information. Financial Information collected via the Website is encrypted, and our databases are accessible only to MOEMS® employees, who are bound by the terms of their employment to maintain the confidentiality of the information.
