The
following principles apply to the personally identifying information we
ask for and that you provide. "Personally identifying information" is information
that individually identifies you, such as your name, physical address or
email address.
1.Information.
Digital-Women obtains information from and about you in different ways.
Digital Women resources,
free web page access and some other services do not require any personally
identifying information from you.
Digital Women collects
limited non-personally identifying information your browser makes available
whenever you visit a website. This log information includes your Internet
Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of
your query and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
Digital Women uses this information to develop and improve the services
for you.
Some of our services require
you to register for a membership account. Digital Women asks you
for some personal information in order to create a Professional Member
account (typically your name, email address and a username and password
for your account) and we will use that information to provide the service
and we may request credit card or other payment information which we maintain
in encrypted form on secure servers.
When Digital Women requires
personally identifying information, we will inform you about the types
of information we collect and how we use it. We hope this will help you
make an informed decision about sharing your personal information with
us.
A. Some information
is gathered automatically when you access the Site such as IP address,
browser information and operating system as an example.
B. Personal Information
is not gathered automatically at the site. If you wish to provide Personal
Information, you must do so voluntarily such as a submission of an online
form or via email submission. This information is never used to be given
to third parties, BUT any information that you voluntarily post online
to be seen on the web site is subject to viewing and collecting by outside
visitors to the web site and out of our control.
C. Cookies are small
pieces of data that are stored by a user's Web browser on the hard drive
of a user's computer. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses
on one Web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site
by the same user. Cookies are usually used to store information such as
products you have clicked to add to your shopping cart. The shopping cart
cannot "tally" a total without using Cookies to remember what you have
selected to purchase so far.
Upon your first visit to
Digital Women, a cookie is sent to your computer that uniquely identifies
your browser. A "cookie" is a small file containing a string of characters
that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. Digital Women uses
cookies to improve the quality of our service and to better understand
how people interact with us. Most browsers are initially set up to accept
cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate
when a cookie is being sent. However, some Digital Women features or services
may not function properly without cookies.
