SECURITY
HAA has taken reasonable precautions to secure the personal information available through the online community.

 

  • Areas of www.clubsandsigs.harvard.edu where personal information is displayed or can be entered are password protected to allow access by registered users only.  These areas include the online directory, profile update, account management, and registration for some events.
  • Users have the option to suppress the information fields in their records that they wish to keep private, which will prevent these fields from being viewed by other community members.
