Web Logs
WVE maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain:
- The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site.
- Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way.
- The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use
- The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.
We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. WVE may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.
Communications from WVE
If you have opted to receive any of our publications by email you are able at any time to unsubscribe by following the directions that appear in the email publication itself or by contacting WVE (a link to our contact information appears at the foot of this page). We will retain and use your collected data for the duration of our relationship with you for as long as you are a member of our community. You are able to opt out of communications with WVE at anytime.
When you provide WVE with your email address and mailing address we may contact you to ask you to become a supporter of WVE. You can choose not to receive such requests by contacting us at womensvoices@womensvoices.org.
Secure Transactions
When you donate to WVE via our website your donation information is encrypted and transmitted via a secure connection. WVE uses your credit card information only for the purpose of processing your donation. We will not disclose this information except as necessary to process your donation and we do not store it once your donation has been processed.
