Privacy Policy

 

Women’s Hospitality Initiative (“WHI”) respects the privacy interests and preferences of our donors and website visitors (womenshospitalityinitiative.com). We are committed to full transparency in outlining what information we collect about donors and visitors, how it is used and how you can opt-out of those programs (online or by traditional communications). The purpose of this policy is to provide you with information about the information collected through the WHI website so that you can make informed decisions about how you use the website.

 

Personal contact information we collect and what we do with it

 

Our website does not collect any personal information unless you voluntarily provide it to us. Any time that you provide information to our website, you will be asked to provide consent to the collection of information.

 

When you make a donation or subscribe to our online newsletter, WHI asks you for personal contact information such as your name, mailing address, phone number and e-mail address. We may use this contact information to provide you with a receipt or financial report; to contact you to clarify or obtain additional information about your donation; or to send you additional information about WHI.

 

If you make a donation, you may be contacted by us on occasion to offer you an opportunity to make another gift, or to inform you of promotions involving third-party sponsors that will directly benefit WHI. You may also receive a personal call from an WHI staff member or volunteer thanking you for your donation. However, as a matter of long-standing policy, we do not use third party telemarketers or other outside vendors to solicit funds or otherwise communicate with our donors on our behalf. You will always have the opportunity to opt out of future communications from us.

 

Personal billing information we collect and what we do with it

 

In addition to personal contact information, we ask for billing information, such as your billing address and credit card number when you make a donation from the site. We use secure servers to gather and process your billing information. These secure servers are hosted by our agent, Blackbaud Merchant Services (BBMS), which is bound by our site policies. Your billing information is not shared with any other organizations, and your credit card number is not retained once your transaction has been authorized and processed.

 

Thank you for taking the time to review our Privacy Policy. WHI is very concerned about online privacy and safety. If you have any questions about these policies, or your dealings with this website, you can contact: connect@womenshospitalityinitiative.com.
