No Personal Information Required
To access the base content on our site, you will not be required to provide us with personal information. We do not collect personally identifiable data from users based on visits to our web pages.

General Information for womensinitiative.org Visitors
When you request information from a website, such as ours, the web server uses your IP address to communicate with you, and this minimal information is always retained for a period of time on our server. Your computer can be identified from the IP address while you are connected to the Internet, although it normally would not identify you individually as the user. Our site will automatically gather certain general information such as the number of visitors on the site and the most frequently visited areas. However, this information will used in aggregate and cannot be used to identify you personally. We use this aggregate information to try to improve the site, making it more useful and usable.

Information for womensinitiative.org Visitors Who Opt-In

Email Activities
If you choose to send us email messages, we will use the messages only to respond to them and will not share them with anyone, unless you give us explicit permission to do so or by order of an appropriate court of law directing us to do so.

My Women's Initiative
We have contracted with Papilia to provide the My Women's Initiative functionality, a stakeholder communications tool designed for permission-based communications. We use Papilia to send email newsletters and information to Women's Initiative supporters, and to create a personally customized section of Women's Initiative web content. Women's Initiative and Papilia have agreed to not use this service for transmission of unsolicited bulk or commercial email. 

• We're opt-in.
• We're against spam. You can unsubscribe at any time, and all of our email communications that come through the Papilia system have unsubscribe links.
• We only collect personally identifiable information that you knowingly and willingly provide us.
• We use cookies to provide much of the customization features of My Women's Initiative.

No Disclosure of Information to Third Parties
We do not sell or provide our supporter or donor lists to third parties, other than those we use for specific support of Women's Initiative efforts, such as Papilia, and who have agreed to not provide such information to other third parties. As a general requirement of law, we will respond to documents in a legal proceeding, such as court orders or subpoenas, if we receive any.

Other Sites
We have no control over the privacy of web sites that are not our own, which might be linked to from this web site. We reference other web sites that you may wish to visit, but be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply beyond this site.
