By visiting WomensRadio.com, you are
accepting the practices described in this Privacy Statement.
We know that you are concerned how
your information is used and shared. Unfortunately, the legal
wording for most Web sites is hardly crafted with the reader in
mind. In fact, most folks do not read it anyway (Or, simply refuse
to do so). With that in mind, we have written a statement that
describes our privacy policy for easy comprehension and to help
you move on to more important activities.
What information does
WomensRadio.com gather?
In a nutshell: Any information that
will help us improve your experience at WomensRadio.com.
The second most relevant question,
and for some the most important is, "What do we do with all this
information?"
The answer: We try to make sense of
it. But, here is the kicker...we will NOT sell, trade or give your
personal information away directly to anyone under any circumstances
without your permission...Period. (the caveat: if you decide to
transact business with any of our affiliates, you are giving your
information freely to these parties. Of course, we are duty bound to
give information to any law enforcement group that requests it.)
For most of you reading this page,
what was said above is no cause for reading further. However, for
those who want to eye the rest of the tedious details, go for it!
How do we work with your information?
We are like a vacuum when it comes
to data. We receive and store any information you enter on our Web
site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide
certain information, but then, oops, you might not be able to take
advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you
provide for such purposes as responding to your requests and support
calls, tweaking our services to make them better, and communicating
with you.
There are few Web sites that serve
up
the cookies! (Programmers often call them "code droppings") Women's
Radio uses cookies although sparingly in comparison to others. It is
a
means to store information on your computer so that Women's Radio will
recognize you when you come back. It provides that personal touch so
lacking in today's digital dungeon.
You can turn your cookies off or
obliterate them with a number of software programs designed to take
them off your computer. You have seen the "Got Milk?" commercials
haven't you? It will get somewhat bland visiting WomensRadio.com.
Being able to email you in response
to your requests or questions is a vital part of our communication
efforts. We do send out confirmations and notices to subscribers who
have opted to receive "stuff" from us. We often scrub our lists to
make sure that you do not receive the same "stuff" more than once.
Here is a good thing: You can
always opt-out to take a breather from getting our "stuff."
There are some things that are out
of control when it comes to your information. We work closely with
affiliated businesses, third party individuals and companies. That
is, we operate stores, provide services, or sell product lines
jointly with these businesses. You can tell when a third party is
involved in your transactions, and information is shared related to
those transactions with that third party. It is your choice to
transact business with these affiliated businesses.
From time to time, we contract with
other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.
These activities include fulfilling orders, sending mail, analyzing
data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and
links, processing credit card payments, and providing customer
service. They have access to personal information needed to perform
their functions, but they agree in writing NOT to use it for other purposes.
Occasionally, we send offers to
selected groups of WomensRadio.com customers on behalf of other
businesses. Understand that we do not give that business your name
and email address. If you do not want to receive such offers, you
can tell us so.
The Team at WomensRadio.com is
always looking to develop new business and there might be a sale of
services. As such, customer information generally is one of the
transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made
in any pre-existing Privacy Statements (all customers can tell the
new owners differently if they like). Should WomensRadio.com or substantially all
of its assets are acquired, however unlikely, customer information
will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Is not advisable to do anything illegal
while associated with WomensRadio.com. If the
authorities want your information because they have suspicions about
your activities, we may be required to release account and other
personal information. This includes exchanging information with
other companies and organizations for fraud protection.
How Safe Is Your Information?
All affiliates and third party
businesses are required in writing to protect the security of your
information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
software, which encrypts information you input. These agreements and
technology make your transactions with us more secure.
It is your responsibility to protect
against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer.
Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
What Choices Do You Have?
You can always choose not to
provide information, even though it might be needed to make a
purchase or to take advantage of such WomensRadio.com features.
If you do not want to receive
e-mail or other mail from us, please unsubscribe from any mailing
list that is provided on WomensRadio.com. (The Policy Statement
still governs your use of WomensRadio.com, and it is your
responsibility to review them for changes regardless whether you
chosen not to receive notifications about the Policy Statement.)
With regard to children,
WomenRadio.com does not sell products for purchase by children. If
you are under 18, you may use WomensRadio.com only with the
involvement of a parent or guardian.
If you choose to visit
Women's Radio.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject
to this Notice and our Conditions of Use, including limitations on
damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the
state of California. If you have any concern about privacy at
Women's Radio.com, please contact us with a thorough description, and
we will try to resolve it.
