Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

Our Commitment to Privacy
We are committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. To better protect your privacy, we provide this Privacy Policy explaining our online and offline information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or Terms of Use, please send an e-mail to or contact us: Center for the Advancement of Women, 25 West 43rd Street, Suite 1120, New York, NY 10036 (212)391-7718

Keeping You Informed of Changes
We may need to change this policy from time to time in order to address new issues and reflect changes on our site. We will post changes here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose that information to anyone. Please refer back to this policy regularly.

Online Information Gathering
Information collected online is often defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable. Anonymous information cannot be tied back to a specific individual. Personally identifiable information lets us know the specifics of who you are, such as your name, e-mail or postal address, phone and fax numbers. The choice of how much of your personally identifiable information you choose to disclose to the Center for the Advancement of Women is left completely up to you.

The Center may use this site to conduct surveys and/or questionnaires of our visitors. Other than required demographic information, we will not ask for personally identifiable information. The Center reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of the responses to such surveys and/or questionnaires.

On certain pages of our site, we give you the option of providing us with names, addresses, fax numbers, e-mail addresses, demographic and other personal and financial information. This information will be used to send requested materials, a tax receipt (if a donation is made), or purchased items. We do not gather this more personal information without your knowing and active permission and participation.

Non-disclosure
We will never intentionally disclose any personal information collected from you on our site to any third party without having received your permission. In other words, without such permission, we will not sell, rent, loan or give personally identifiable user information collected from you on our site to marketers or any other third parties. The only exception to this is if the Center is required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personally identifiable information to the appropriate governmental authorities. However, as with any Internet transmission that is not encrypted, the risk of disclosure to unintended third parties exists.

Links to Other Websites
You may find links to other sites or services on the Center’s site. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites. The fact that we have made these links available to you is not an endorsement or recommendation to you by the Center.

Other companies or agencies linked to this site may collect information about you when you view or click on these sites. We cannot control this collection of information. You should contact these content providers directly if you have any questions about their use of the information they collect. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies, or no policy at all. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party sites or services before providing any of them with your personal information.

Information Requests
If you have provided us with any personal information during a prior visit to or use of the Center’s website, you may request that we delete your personal information in its entirety from the databases maintained in connection with our site by sending an e-mail to or by writing to the Center for the Advancement of Women, 25 West 43rd Street, Suite 1120, New York, NY 10036. These same options may be used to change or modify information previously provided to us.

Advertisements
This site may contain advertisements by third parties. The Center may receive royalties or fees from such advertisers. The Center does not endorse, guarantee, warrant, or recommend any products or services contained in advertisements.

Security
It is the Center’s policy that personal information, such as your name, postal and e-mail address or telephone number, is private and confidential. Accordingly, the personal information you provide is stored in a secure location, is accessible only by designated staff, and is used only for the purposes for which you provide the information.
