Privacy Policy

Policies Regarding Visitor Data

WomensLaw.org has created this privacy statement to demonstrate its firm commitment to privacy by informing site visitors of the data collection and storage practices, and guidelines for use of visitor data. The following statements detail information gathering and dissemination practices for our Web site.

Our servers collect and aggregate user information site-wide, including anonymous site statistics, such as the number of users and number of views of each page.  This data is used to track users' movement in the aggregate and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use; IP addresses and other user data are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Users who choose to use our Email Legal Hotline form are asked to tell us the state they need information for so that we can provide them with the correct information. The state people select is not recorded with email addresses or with any other identifying information. This more personal information is gathered only with users' knowing and active permission and participation. Email addresses are never exchanged with other people or organizations. Aggregate information that is not personally identifiable is collected.

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with an appropriate law enforcement investigation, current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our website.

Our website uses session cookies which visitors to customize their experience by selecting their state and language preferences. These session cookies expire as soon as the user closes the browser and are not stored on the users harddrive once the browser is closed. Session cookies are not logged on our servers, and contain no personally identifiable information. Other than this feature, our website makes no use of cookies.

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email and by posting a notice on our Web site for 30 days.
