Participation in these activities is completely voluntary. The information requested may include contact information (such as name and address), demographic information (such as age and income level), preferences and interests.
You may have the opportunity to receive materials or special offers from third parties. If you choose to opt-in to receive information from these third parties, WomansResource may share your name and e-mail address with them.
Links
Partners and merchants listed in WomansResource have separate privacy policies and data collection practices. We encourage you to read the privacy statement of every Web site that collects personally identifiable information about you. When you click on an ad of a third-party linked to our site, for example, you may leave WomansResource and will be interacting directly with the third-party. That party may collect and use information about you in a way that is different from us. Although the third-party will not receive personally identifiable information about you from us (without your consent), it may know that you meet the criteria it sets for the distribution of its offers on our site.
Third Party Data and Aggregated Data
WomansResource may disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.

We are compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998. See this page for more information: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/coppa.htm
