Persistent cookies remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following the directions provided by your internet browser provider. We keep the use of persistent cookies at the minimum possible level.

A pixel tag (also commonly known as a web beacon) is a type of technology placed on a website or within the body of an email for the purpose of tracking activity on websites or when emails are opened or accessed and is often used in combination with cookies. We keep the use of pixel tags at the minimum possible level.
Linking Environments
If, at some moment, NHMedicalInstitute needs to serve you personalized advertisements in order to provide a seamless online experience, we may link your identifiers to the different environments you are using. At no point do we collect, now or in the future, identifying personal data such as your name or address to operate the linking.
Information We Collect
NH Medical Institute collects information to provide better services to our valued users. We collect information in the following ways:
- Information you give us. For example, NH MedicalInstitute collects personal information when you create an account with NH Medical Institute, when you place an order, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes, such as your name, email address, birth date, gender, and ZIP code; and when you use our online forum.
- Information we get from your use of our services. We collect information about the services you use and how you use them, such as how you use our sites and mobile applications, visit a website that uses our advertising services, view or interact with our ads and content, and information about your computer or mobile device. This information may include:
- Device Information: we collect device-specific information such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information, including your phone number. NHMedicalInstitute may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your NHMedicalInstitute account.
- Log Information: when you use our services or view content provided by NHMedicalInstitute.com, we automatically collect and store certain information in our server logs. This includes details of how you use our services (e.g., your search queries), IP address, device event information such as crashes, system activity, hardware setting, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request, and referral URL. And cookies that may uniquely identify your browser on your NHMedicalInstitute account.
- Location Information: When you use NH Medical Institute services, we may collect and process information about your actual location. We use various technologies to determine location, including your IP address, GPS, and other sensors that may, for example, provide NH Medical Institute with information on nearby devices, Wi-Fi access points, and cell towers.
- If you have downloaded one or more of our mobile applications, you may have the option to opt-in to location sharing for additional application capabilities. We may use this information to provide you with location-based services, such as advertising, search results, and other personalized content. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services. Most likely, these controls are located in the device’s settings menu; however, if you have questions about how to disable your device’s location services, we recommend you contact your mobile service carrier or your device manufacturer.
- Unique Application Numbers: Certain services include a unique application number. This number and information about your installation may be sent to NHMedicalInstitute when you install or uninstall a certain service or when a service periodically contacts our servers, such as for updates.
- Local Storage: NH Medical Institute may collect and store information – including personal information – locally on your devices using mechanisms such as browser web storage and application data caches.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: NH Medical Institute may set and access cookies on your computer. We may also set and access device identifiers, including your IP address, user agent information (e.g., browser version, OS type, and version), and device-provided identifiers. Once you interact with our services, site(s), and/or application(s), NHMedicalInstitute may recognize your device to provide you with a personalized experience independent of your device settings.
- NHMedicalInstitute lets other trusted businesses use cookies or similar technologies on our services for advertising and research purposes. When you visit this website or other websites, this information is used to serve ads for NH Medical Institute products or services or other companies’ products or services. These companies use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over, hardware/software information, cookie, and session ID) and personally identifiable information (e.g., static IP address) during your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These parties typically use a cookie, web beacon, or other similar tracking technologies to collect this information. Other companies’ use of their cookies and device identifiers are subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies cannot access NH Medical Institute’s cookies.
- NHMedicalInstitute uses web beacons to access NHMedicalInstitute cookies inside and outside our network of websites and in connection with NHMedicalInstitute products and services.
- E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open an email from NHMedicalInstitute or its affiliates if your computer supports such capabilities.
- Social Media: NHMedicalInstitute engages with guests on multiple social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Linkedin). We may contact you via direct message if you contact us on one of our social media platforms. In these instances, your interactions with us are governed by this privacy policy as well as the privacy policy of the social media platform you use.
- Social Media Widgets: our sites and mobile applications include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button, Twitter widgets, and others. These features may collect information about your IP address and which page you’re visiting on our site, and they may set a cookie or employ other tracking technologies. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our site. Your interactions with those features are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them.

- With Your Consent: We will share personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of NHMedicalInstitute.com when appropriate. And even with your consent, we limit it to the minimum possible. Your content, including your personal information, is always yours and we do not sell your personal information to anyone.

These companies may need information about you in order to perform their functions.
- For Legal Reasons: We will share personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of NHMedicalInstitute if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:
- Meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.

- Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues.
- Protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of NHMedicalInstitute.com, our users, or the public as required or permitted by law
This does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from NHMedicalInstitute members for commercial purposes.
If NHMedicalInstitute undergoes a merger, corporate reorganization, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal data may be shared. If you do not want us to share your personal data in these manners, please do not provide it to us.
Please note that NHMedicalInstitute may be required to release an individual’s personal information in response to public authorities’ lawful requests to meet national security and/or law enforcement requirements.
In the context of an onward transfer, NHMedicalInstitute is responsible for processing personal information it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. NHMedicalInstitute shall remain liable under the Principles if its agent processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Principles unless the organization proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Accessing and Updating Your Personal Information
NH Medical Institute acknowledges the individual’s right to access their personal data. Whenever you use our services, we aim to provide you with access to your personal information. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating your personal data, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request.
We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems).
Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so for free, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.
You have the right to request information about the personal data we hold on you. If your data is incorrect, incomplete, or irrelevant, you can ask to have the information corrected or removed. To access or update your personal information, email NHMedicalInstitute@gmail.com with your current contact information and the personal information you would like to access. We will provide you with the requested information or describe the types of personal information we typically collect.
Email Opt-out
NH Medical Institute and third-party vendors, partners, and affiliates communicate with users who subscribe to our services on a regular basis via e-mail. For example, we may use your email address to confirm your request, send you a notice of payments, send you promotions, send you information about changes to our products and services, and send notices and other disclosures as required by law. Generally, users cannot opt out of these communications, but they will be primarily informational in nature rather than promotional.
However, we provide you the opportunity to exercise an opt-out choice if you do not want to receive other types of communication from us, such as emails or updates from us regarding new services and products offered on the Sites. The opt-out choice may be exercised by ticking or unticking the appropriate box if such a checkbox is available when personal data is collected or by contacting us. We will process your unsubscribe request as soon as possible, but please be aware that in some circumstances, you may receive a few more messages until the unsubscribe is processed. You also may opt out of receiving such emails by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link within the text of the email.
Mobile
- Push Notifications: You may immediately opt-out from further allowing NH Medical Institute to send you push notifications by adjusting the notification permissions in the Settings on your mobile device.
- Geo-location: You may at any time opt-out from further allowing NHMedical Institute to access location data by adjusting the permission in your mobile device.
How is Your Personal Information Protected?
Security Methods: We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. When we collect or transmit sensitive information, we use industry-standard methods to protect that information. However, no e-commerce solution, website, mobile application, database, or system is completely secure or “hacker-proof.” You are also responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.
Email Security: “Phishing” is a scam designed to steal your personal information. If you receive an e-mail that looks like it is from us asking for your personal information, do not respond. We will never request your password, username, credit card information, or other personal information through e-mail.
Children’s Personal Information: We recognize the particular importance of protecting privacy where children are involved. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under the age of 18. If a child under the age of 18 has provided us with personal information online, we ask that a parent or guardian e-mail us at NHMedicalInstitute@gmail.com.
California Privacy Rights
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits our visitors who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please get in touch with us at NHMedicalInstitute@gmail.com. You must include your full name, street address, city, state, and zip code for all requests. We will not accept requests via telephone, postal mail, or facsimile, and we are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent properly or that do not have complete information.
