We also use your IP address to keep track of the information you have seen on our sites.  We use your name, e-mail address and mailing address to assist us in communicating with you.

BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE INFORMATION YOU SHARE. In addition, when using our Discussion Areas, which may enable you to communicate with friends and colleagues in our community, please be sure not to give out your phone number, address, social security, password, or last name, as this is personal information that should be kept private, unless you know exactly who you are dealing with.  For your own safety, please also take care not to set up any meetings with strangers.  The rules that you learned in early life apply to such contacts arranged over the Internet.

THESE USES MAY INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:

USE OF IP ADDRESS. IP addresses are numbers that are automatically assigned to your computer, and, if associated with other individually identifiable information, could be considered personal information. The Company may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with its computer server, and to generally administer and improve the Site.

USE OF COOKIES. Cookies are a standard technology used by commercial web services to store small pieces of information on your hard drive, by sending a small string of text to your browser.  They make your use of our Wings for Women® Website more pleasing and efficient by, for example, “personalizing” your user interface or identifying which parts of a site you have previously visited.  Most web browsers automatically accept cookies unless you have configured yours not to accept them.  In order for us to provide you with services on, your browser must accept cookies as they are essential for site administration and security.  We also use cookies to tailor the information you receive and for other purposes.

Most standard Web browsers now contain a feature called “cookies.” Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. However, the Company does not use cookies to either collect individually identifiable information or to collect non-individually identifiable information using the cookie that is combined with a personal identifier. The Company may use cookies to collect aggregate information that is not individually identifiable.

We also provide information to governmental authorities when required to do so by law (for example, we report information regarding your compensation and withholding to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities).  In addition, the Company has entered into marketing agreements, strategic alliances and other relationships with third party organizations that may offer or provide products and services to you, sometimes under discounted or preferential terms. We sometimes agree to give these third parties aggregated, non-personally identifiable information about our clients, employees or visitors.

When the disclosure of such information is necessary for the provision of services, the Company will use reasonable efforts to ensure only that information that is generally necessary to deliver such services will be disclosed.
