When you create an FWN account on our Sites, FWN asks you to provide your name, organization name, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, demographic information and survey information. Similar information may also be submitted to FWN through membership applications, summit or event registrations, publication orders, subscriptions, and contest registrations. Information you provide when you create an FWN account is submitted voluntarily. You will need to log in to your FWN account when you pay for membership dues, access the members-only directory, purchase a product or service, register for an event, or make a donation, as well as when you make preferences changes to information stored in your account.

When you purchase a product or service or pay for membership dues at our Sites, we will also collect, but do not store, your credit card number and related financial information required to process your payment. We transfer your credit card data to third-party electronic payment vendors that process electronic commercial payments, as described in the Third-Party Recipients of Personal Data section of this Privacy Policy.

When you sign up for our newsletter or any other communications from us, we collect your name and email address.

How we use your Personal Information

We may use your personal information to respond to an email you sent or other inquiry or request from you, to help improve our Sites and services, to customize your experience at our Sites, and to send updates or notices about FWN and the products we offer that we think may be of interest to you.

FWN uses information from its members (including names, addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses) for inclusion in a membership directory that is available only to FWN's members. FWN also makes member contact information available through the FWN Membership Directory to other members using its Sites and to those who register for its summits and workshops.

Credit Card Account Information. FWN does not disclose credit card account information provided by its members and customers. When members and customers choose to pay using their credit cards, FWN submits the information needed to obtain payment to the appropriate clearinghouse.

We may also combine this information with other generally or publicly available information to help us identify your preferences or interests. We may provide information that identifies you to third-party vendors that assist us in these activities, such as helping us fulfill your request for a product, service or information.

We will send you FWN-related announcements on occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our Sites are temporarily suspended for maintenance, or a new enhancement is released, which will affect the way you use our Sites, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. 

In addition, we may disclose your Personal Information if required to do so by law or if you violate our Terms of Use.
