We are very sensitive to the privacy concerns of Internet users. Therefore, we endeavor to provide users all information regarding our identity, how we use personal information that is collected, how to contact us, and how users can access and update their personal information. We also inform users of all potential recipients of the personal information. We reserve the right to change or to amend this Privacy Policy at any time and encourage you to review this Privacy Policy from time to time when using www.thewinonline.com (“Website”) to remain apprised of any changes.

Our Identity:
    This Website is owned and operated by The Women’s Information Network, Inc., a Utah corporation (“The WIN”). Users may contact us by clicking on the Contact Us link and leaving us a message detailing any questions or concerns.

Personal Information: Collection and Use
Personal Data. The WIN collects personally identifiable information that users provides, which may include a user’s name, address, other contact information, details about the user’s Website preferences, and any other information the user provides on The WIN Website. We use the personal information we request and/or that users provide to fulfill legitimate internal purposes and/or to fulfill user requests. Users may access the personal information stored in their account and change it at any time or submit corrections to us through appropriate links on the Website.

    Users may provide us personal information through other features now existing or that may be created for this site in the future. For example, if users seek to purchase items or subscribe to a service or magazine, users will be required to provide additional personal information. Users may also provide us personal information when they send messages, host shows, respond to questions, engage in on-line chats, upload photos, upload video clips or provide other information when and if such options become available on this site. Also, when users send messages, make postings, or otherwise transmit or post any content within this site, others may have access the personal information within such content. We intend to collect and/or maintain posts, messages, notes, journal entries and other content that users post or transmit as well as information about the content and users’ interaction with the content if it is, or becomes, a feature of this site. We are under no obligation to monitor messages, notes, journal entries, posts or transmissions of users, but reserve the right to monitor such entries in our absolute discretion (particularly public posts and transmissions) and are authorized to block or remove content we deem inappropriate or objectionable. Because users may voluntarily disclose personal information publically when posting, transmitting, or uploading content, users must be careful with information users chooses to disclose.
   

Third-Party Data:

Where local law permits, users also may submit personal information of third parties including their names, addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers, to allow The WIN to make contact with the named individual and determine whether that party has any interest in joining The WIN. Users can also provide the same information regarding third parties to order items or subscriptions for the third party. In this instance, the information collected is used solely to facilitate users’ requests for delivery of items to third parties or to simplify the process of future orders or subscription renewals to the same third parties. When providing personal information about anyone other than themselves, users will obtain the other person’s consent and provide that person access to this Privacy Policy.

Disclosure of Personal Information:
    We regard users’ personal information as confidential and do not sell it or share it with other parties except in the limited circumstances described in this Privacy Policy. We may develop other websites that are under the control of The WIN and its affiliated entities. We may share some or all of users’ personal information with our affiliates, in which case we will require those affiliates to honor the provisions of this Privacy Policy. Please be aware that any information that users voluntarily choose to display on any publicly available portion of the Website becomes publicly available and may be collected and used by others. We may provide personal information of users to third parties for their use in performing internal functions on our behalf (payment processing, maintenance, security, data analysis, hosting, and so forth).

    We may disclose users’ personal information if we have a good-faith belief that doing so is required by a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order or otherwise required by law. Additionally, we may disclose users’ personal information and other information where we, in good faith, deem it appropriate or necessary to prevent a violation of our Terms of Use, or other agreements; to take precautions against liability; to protect the rights, property, or safety of this Website, any individual, or the general public; to maintain and protect the security and integrity of our services or infrastructure to protect ourselves and our services from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses; to investigate and to defend ourselves against third-party claims or allegations; or to assist government enforcement agencies.

Passive Data Collection:
    In our effort to improve users’ Website experiences, we use cookies and web beacons to provide pages and features that are most compatible with users’ preferences. Cookies and web beacons do not identify the user personally; they simply identify the browser and track the settings, preferences, or features.

    When users request pages from the Website, our servers may log users’ Internet Protocol (“IP”) address to improve site administration.

Protecting Information:
    When you enter sensitive information such as a credit card number and/or social security number on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

    We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Internet-based Transfer of Data:
    Given that the Internet is a global environment, using the Internet to collect and process personal information necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. By providing The WIN with your personal information you acknowledge and agree that we may store your personal information and transfer it to and from our servers located in the United States and throughout the world. We endeavor to protect all personal information collected through the Website in a safe, confidential and secure manner.

Children's Privacy:
    We do not knowingly collect information from children under age thirteen (13) without the prior express and informed consent of the child’s parent or guardian in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act recommended standard. The parent or guardian of a child under age thirteen (13) wishing to submit personal information to the Website must first approve the registration and authorize our retention of personal information.

    Prospective users between the ages of thirteen (13) and seventeen (17) can only use The WIN under either one of their parent’s or legal guardian's supervision. If you are between the ages of thirteen (13) and seventeen (17), you, your parent, or your legal guardian may request that we deactivate any of your personal information in our database and/or opt-out from receiving communications from us. If you wish to do so, please send us a detailed message at the Contact Us link.

Third-Party Links:
    We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party sites. For users’ protection, users should review the policies of similar sites to ensure they meet users’ personal expectations of privacy.

Refund Policy:
The WIN honors all refunds or exchanges which our Affiliate Partners currently have in place for their items. Such refunds are totally the responsibility of the producers of the products and services, i.e. those individuals and companies who produce/fulfill the product/service. For all Corporate WIN merchandise, The WIN will happily refund the full sales price of damaged goods as soon as The WIN receives the returned damaged goods. Send damaged items to WIN Headquarters: 192 Lake Breeze Rd, Saratoga Springs, UT 84045.

Your California Privacy Rights:
    California Civil Code Section 1798.83 entitles California customers to request information concerning whether a business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. As stated in this Privacy Policy, The WIN will not sell or share your personal information for direct marketing purposes without your consent. California customers who wish to request further information about our compliance with this law or have questions or concerns about our privacy practices and policies may contact us at the Contact Us link on the Website.
