PEWIN Website Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 1, 2023
Private Equity Women Investor Network or PEWIN (“PEWIN”) knows that your privacy is important to you, and we want you to know that it is important to us too. We created this Website Privacy Policy (“Policy”) to explain the types of information we collect through our websites on which it is posted (each, a “Site”), how we will use, disclose and protect this information once it is collected, and how you can opt out of some of these practices. The Site is owned and operated by PEWIN and its affiliates (referred to collectively in this Policy as “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar pronouns).
This Policy does not apply to information that you may provide to us, or that we may obtain, other than through the Site, such as over the phone, by mail, by email or in person.
If you are located outside of the United States, you should know that certain information collected about you is being transmitted to us and processed in the United States and will be protected subject to this Policy and United States laws, which may not be as protective as the laws in your country. Also, through the Site, our service providers may place cookies on your computer or device and use other tracking technologies which are further described below.
