11. Data Security.

Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, is an encryption technology that provides secure

communications over the Internet. It does this by verifying that the server to which you

are connected is actually the one it claims to be. It also encrypts all transactions between

the parties communicating. Encryption is the scrambling of information as it is

transmitted over the Internet to protect your confidentiality. Personal information passing

between your computer and/or mobile device and many of our services is encrypted. This

means that while your information is in transit it is scrambled so that only we can

reassemble it in its original text format. The Site has HTTPS automatically enabled. All

critical interfaces and functions (i.e. user authentication, payment transactions (PCI data)

and PII related processes are only accessible using at least TLS v1.2. The Site has a

multiple layer security architecture to help protect against 0-day security issues. Firewalls

and intrusion prevention systems are in place to prevent unauthorized access. Our

platform, Wix, facilitates a SOC 24/7/365 monitoring program focused on information

gathered from various sources (internal network traffic, employee actions on systems and

on-going research about vulnerabilities).

​

Unfortunately, transmission of information through the Internet cannot be completely

secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot

guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to us through the Site.

Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for

circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.

​

12. Other Limits to Your Privacy.

We may provide you with links to other websites and may approve other websites

to obtain online tracking information from the Site. We are not responsible for the

privacy practices or the content of such websites. When you utilize the Site, the

information that you disclose, including in any audio instructions, may become public

information. We have no control over its use and you should exercise caution when

deciding to disclose your personal information.

​

13. CAN-SPAM Act.

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes

requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped

from being sent to them.

​

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email

us at info@womancentered.com and we will promptly remove you from ALL

correspondence.

​

14. Updates and Changes to Privacy Statement.

We reserve the right to change, update or modify this Privacy Statement. We will

post all privacy changes and, if you have an account with us, we will notify you of any

material change in our privacy practices. Any such change, update or modification will
