Privacy Policy

Overview

Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship ("WTE," "we," "us") runs Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship and this website. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information you give us

Membership sign up: name, email, and the details you choose to share (such as city, chapter, role, and interests).
Forms: partner, sponsor, summit partner, and Business Toolkit inquiries (name, company, email, phone, and your message).
Member stories and photos you submit, along with your name, social handle, and the permission you give us to share them.
Purchases: sponsorships are paid through our payment provider; we do not see or store full card numbers.
Event registration happens on Eventbrite or, for some student events, Bulls Connect. Their privacy policies apply to the information you give them.

Information collected automatically

Basic website usage, such as pages visited, device and browser type, and general location (city or region), so we can improve the site.
Cookies that keep the site working and remember your choices. If we use analytics cookies, we will tell you and let you decline them.

This site currently uses only essential cookies needed for the site to work. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies.

How we use information

To welcome you, send your Slack invite, and share events, programs, and opportunities.
To respond to partnership, sponsorship, and toolkit inquiries and deliver sponsor benefits.
To feature member stories and photos when you have given permission.
To keep the site secure and improve it.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run WTE (such as our email and CRM provider, event ticketing, payment processing, website hosting, and our community Slack), only as needed to provide those services; with sponsors only when you choose to share it with them (for example, by opting in at a sponsored event or form); and when required by law.

Photos and video at events

WTE events may be photographed or filmed, and we may use that content on our website, social media, and promotional materials. If you prefer not to be photographed, tell an event host or email us and we will do our best to honor your request and remove existing content where possible.

Your choices

Unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in any email.
Ask us to access, correct, or delete your information by emailing raechel@wte.network. We will respond within 30 days.
Ask us to remove a photo or story of you at any time.

Data retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, and we use reasonable safeguards to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children

Our website and programs are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other sites

Our site links to other websites, including event ticketing pages, sponsor sites, and Business Toolkit partners. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

We may update this policy and will post the new date at the top.
