Women of Faith is committed to helping you maintain
control over your personal data while fostering the

The following Privacy Policy (“Policy”)
describes how we collect, protect and use information
we receive from visitors to our Web site (“www.womenoffaith.com”)
(the “Site”). If you are not yet 13 years
old, discontinue using the Site immediately. If a
user submitting personal information is suspected
of being younger than 13 years of age, Women of Faith
will delete this information from its records in
accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Act (15 U.S. Code, 6501 et seq.) This
Policy applies only to information collected through
this Site and not to information collected offline.
If for any reason, you do not agree with this Policy,
please do not participate in the features, activities
and services that require you to provide your personal
information. This Policy is a part of the terms and
conditions which are set forth in our Terms
and Conditions Agreement. Both the Policy and
Terms and conditions Agreement are legally binding
on all users.
1. The Information
We Collect
We do not collect personally identifiable
information on our Site unless you voluntarily provide
such information about yourself via an electronic
mail message or by filling out one of our online
forms. On our Site, you can order products, register
for conference events, purchase tickets, enter contests,
join our Association, subscribe to one of our services
such as our online newsletters, book club, post messages
to our message board, chat and participate in online
forums. The types of personally identifiable information
that may be collected at these pages include: name,
address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number,
credit card information, and information about your
interests in and use of various products, programs,
and services. If you send us an email, we may use
the information you provide to follow up via telephone
or email. The information you provide will be kept
confidential and will be used only to support your
continued relationship with Women of Faith.
No software or hardware techniques
are employed to capture a visitor’s email address
or other personally identifiable information. Women
of Faith does not monitor individual traffic patterns
on our Site, and we do not use “cookies” or
invisible images to track how you use our Site. Our
hosting company may collect anonymous, aggregate
information or statistics related to Site usage.
These statistics indicate the total number of hits,
the total number of page hits, the number of kilobytes
transferred from our Site, and the IP address of
the visitor. We may have the ability to access this
information, but have chosen not to avail ourselves
of this data. If we decide to use this information
to analyze Web traffic in the future, we will only
be able to measure the number of visitors to our
Site and the addresses of the Web sites from which
our visitors come. Email addresses and other personally
identifiable information are not available to us.
2. How the Information You Provide Is Used
We may use the information you provide
about yourself to fulfill your requests for our products,
programs, and services, to respond to your inquiries
about our offerings, and to offer you other products,
programs or services that we believe may be of interest
to you.
We sometimes use this information to
communicate with you, such as to notify you when
you have won one of our contests or when we make
changes to our subscriber agreements, to fulfill
a request by you for an on-line newsletter, or to
contact you about your account with us.
The information we collect in connection
with our online forums is used to provide an interactive
experience. We use this information to facilitate
participation in these online forums. As any information
that is disclosed in these areas becomes public,
caution should be exercised when disclosing personal
information.
We sometimes use the non-personally
identifiable information that we collect to improve
the design and content of our site and to enable
us to personalize your internet experience. We also
may use this information in the aggregate to analyze
site usage, as well as to offer you products, programs,
or services.
Should you send us your comments or
questions via email to any email address provided
on our Site, we will only share your communications
with our employees or agents most capable of addressing
your questions and concerns. We will retain your
communication until we have done our very best to
provide you with a complete and satisfactory response
and then we will either discard it or, in some cases,
archive it. We will only disclose personal information
if we are required to do so by law or we in good
faith believe that such action is necessary to (1)
comply with the law or with legal process; (2) protect
and defend our rights and property; (3) protect against
misuse or unauthorized use of the Site; or (4) protect
the personal safety or property of our users or the
public. We do not sell, rent or otherwise disclose
personally identifiable information you may provide
without your consent.
3. Security of
Information Sent to Us
Please note that, unless we expressly
advise you otherwise, the email functionality on
our Site does not provide a means for completely
secure and private communications between us. Like
all unencrypted Internet email communications, your
email may be accessed and viewed by other Internet
users, without your knowledge and permission, while
in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your
privacy, please do not use email to communicate information
to us that you consider to be confidential. While
we strive to protect your personal information, Women
of Faith cannot ensure or warrant the security of
any information you transmit to us, and you do so
at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission,
we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure its security on our internal systems. Depending
on the nature of the inquiry, your communication
may be discarded or archived. If you wish, you may
contact us instead via telephone at the numbers provided
throughout our Site.
4. Disclosure of
Customer Information Through Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business,
we may buy, merge or partner with other companies
or businesses, and in so doing, acquire customer
information. In such transactions, user information
may be among the transferred assets. Similarly, in
the unlikely event that a portion or substantially
all of Women of Faith assets are sold or transferred
to a third party, the information you have voluntarily
provided to us, including your email address, would
likely be one of the transferred business assets.
4. Privacy Policies
of Web Sites Not Under Our Control
We may sometimes offer services and/or
content (e.g., contests, sweepstakes, or promotions)
that are sponsored by or co-branded with identified
third parties. By virtue of these relationships,
the third parties may obtain personally identifiable
information that visitors voluntarily submit to participate
in the site activity. We have no control over these
third parties’ use of this information. For
your convenience, this Site may provide links to
various Web sites that we do not control. When
you click on one of these links, you will be transferred
out of our Site and connected to the Web site of
the organization or company that you selected. We
are not responsible for the nature, quality or accuracy
of the content or opinions expressed in such Web
sites, and such Web sites are not investigated, monitored
or checked for quality, accuracy or completeness
by us. Inclusion of any linked Web site on the Women
of Faith Site does not imply or express an approval
or endorsement of the linked Web site by us, or of
any of the content, opinions, products or services
provided on these Web sites. Even if an affiliation
exists between our Site and a third-party Web site,
we exercise no control over linked sites. Each of
these linked sites maintains its own independent
privacy and data collection policies and procedures.
If you visit a Web site that is linked to from our
Site, we encourage you to consult that Web site’s
privacy policy before providing any personal information
and whenever interacting with any Web site.
6. Access and Correction
You have a right to know about the
personal information that Women of Faith has collected
through your requests as describe above, including
the right to correct, amend or delete the information
that Women of Faith has on file if it is incorrect.
You may also change the status of whether you wish
to receive Women of Faith alerts, newsletters and
