At eWomenPublishingNetwork.com, we are committed to creating a safe and inviting

other's needs, aspirations, and dreams. By completing your profile, you
will be given the opportunity to select that information you want posted
on eWomenPublishingNetwork.com. All information that you choose NOT to post on
eWomenPublishingNetwork.com will be used for our internal use only. Your personal
information, and the information of all eWomenPublishingNetwork.com members, is
used by us to ensure that we are providing you with the most relevant
content, information, and mentoring opportunities. Please read the
following privacy statement carefully.
Questions regarding this statement should be directed to the

How We Collect Information
Many of the ways in which you interact with our site allow us to learn
more about you. We collect and store statistics and other information
about the online activities of our visitors on an aggregated
(collective) basis. For example, we track the number of people who view
each page to learn which features are the most popular. But in these,
and almost all other instances, we do not obtain personally identifiable
information about you.
In those instances where we do collect personally identifiable
information, you have the option of choosing to reveal it to us or to
one of our vendors on eWomenPublishingNetwork.com. In the event of a complaint,
we may also receive personally identifiable information about you from
other parties on eWomenPublishingNetwork.com or from other users or third parties
who may communicate information to us about you in relation to that
complaint.
How We Use and Disclose Your Information
As a general practice, we do not sell your personally identifiable
information to third parties. So, for example, we do not sell your email
addresses or your name and personal demographic information to mass
marketers. However, on particular pages where we ask for your personally
identifiable information, we may explicitly tell you that the data we
are collecting on that page will be shared with third parties, in which
case those disclosures shall override anything to the contrary in this
policy. For example, before you submit answers to questions we ask in an
advertiser-sponsored promotion, we will tell you that your answers will
be shared with that advertiser.
We use your information on an aggregated basis to do such things as
operate our site, enhance our site and sell and deliver advertising. We
also use this data, both aggregated and personally identifiable, to
enhance your on-site experience by displaying content and marketing
messages that we believe will be of interest to you. We disclose
aggregated information about our site to third parties.
Note that some online activities you choose to do necessarily lead to
disclosure of your personally identifiable information to third parties,
such as when you include your name and email address in a postcard or
when you order merchandise in the Store. In these cases, again, your
choice to disclose personally identifiable information is voluntary.
In some cases, we use your personally identifiable information to provide
information to you, such as to send site updates and event information
that you request or to personalize the site in accordance with
your requests.
Controlling or Changing Your eProfile
You can access and update your personal information anytime.
Privacy of Children
eWomenPublishingNetwork.com understands that children and young adults need
special safeguards and privacy protection. These young people may not
understand all the provisions of our policy or be able to make
well-informed decisions about the choices available to our adult users.
We believe our success is not only defined by our ability to bring you
online services that make your life more convenient and enjoyable, but
also by the steps we take to ensure that the interactive medium is
available to everyone and guided by policies that make sense for
families. In concert with our efforts, eWomenPublishingNetwork.com urges all
parents to supervise their children's exploration of the Internet and
any online services, and to teach their children about protecting their
personal information while online.
Cookies and Other Tracking Methods
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not
on our site. We use cookies or, in a limited number of cases, IP
addresses for a number of reasons. First, cookies allow you to store
your password without having to constantly re-enter it. Second, cookies
can also help us to tailor a web site or a marketing message to better
match your needs and interests. Third, cookies allow us to better
understand how users use our site, which in turn helps us focus our
resources on features that are most popular with our users. You are
always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some
parts of our site may not work properly if you do.
Note: eWomenPublishingNetwork.com places advertising on our sites that originates
from outside advertisers and/or advertising agencies. In some cases, if
you click on or view these ads, a cookie may be assigned by the
advertiser.
Other Sites
Please note that if you provide any information on your own or directly
to parties who provide service to the Network, any merchants in our
volume "Buying Power" program, or any other sites you encounter on the
Internet (even if these sites are branded with our branding), different
rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information
you disclose to them. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions
before disclosing information to third parties.
Limits on Our Abilities
Although your privacy is very important to us, due to the existing legal
regulatory and security environment, we cannot fully ensure that your
private communications and other personally identifiable information
will not be disclosed to third parties. The government or third parties
under certain circumstances may intercept or
access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, in the
unlikely event we need to investigate or resolve possible problems or
inquiries, we can (and you authorize us to do so) disclose any
information about you to private entities, law enforcement or other
government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or
appropriate.
Security
We use industry-standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of
your personal identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure
Socket Layers where appropriate. However, "perfect security" does not
exist on the Internet.
We hope this policy clarifies our procedures regarding your personal
information.
