Welcome to the Worldwide Women's Association ("WWA") Website, where we take your privacy seriously. This web page describes our policy regarding the collection and use of personal information from our members as well as the information we collect from non-member visitors.
This privacy policy was last updated on September 2nd, 2014. WWA may revise this privacy policy from time to time. The new provisions will be effective as soon as they are posted. Please check this page regularly to ensure that you are aware of any change.
Collection and Use of Personal Information for WWA Members & Applicants
We collect certain personally identifying information from you off-line when you become a member of WWA such as your name and e-mail address, and we may update and collect additional information during the membership on boarding process. We refer to your personally-identifying information described in this policy collectively as “Your Information.” We may use Your Information to evaluate membership candidates and to contact our members, to send you material about WWA services and programs, and other information we think may be of interest to our members. In addition, if you choose to pay your membership dues or make other purchases by using a credit card, we will collect your credit card number and type, billing address, expiration date, and other information necessary to process your credit card transaction. We do not, however, permanently store your credit card information.
We do not disclose your information to third parties. We may post your name and contact information as part of our on-line membership registry on the WWA Web Site. This directory is password protected and will be accessible only by WWA, WWA members, and by WWA’s service provider solely for the purpose of mailing materials prepared by WWA to WWA members.
Other Types of Information Collected About WWA Members
We may also collect information by using a “cookie” – a text file that is placed on the hard drive of your computer. The cookie merely tells us when your computer has contacted our site and allows automatic access to the password-protected site.
Information Collected From WWA Members and Non-Members
There are other types of non-personally identifying information that we may collect when you visit our site, either as a member or as a non-member. For example, we may collect information regarding the type of browser you use and the pages you visit in order to gather information on site usage.
