Legal bases (for people in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland). We process personal data to perform our membership agreement with you, for our legitimate interests in running and improving WoGM and keeping it secure, to comply with legal obligations, and, where required, with your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, secure the Portal, and understand how our site is used. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and through any cookie banner or preference tool on our site. Blocking some cookies may limit how the Portal works.

Where required by law, we honor opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control. Our site does not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals.

Automated Tools and AI

We may use software, including AI-enabled features within our website or Portal platform, to help with tasks such as content recommendations, search, and communications. We do not use your personal data to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you based solely on automated processing. We do not sell your personal data to train AI models. If this changes, we will update this policy and provide any required notice or choice.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only in these situations:

Service providers: companies that help us run the Portal and website, process payments, deliver emails, host data, provide analytics, or manage events. They may use your data only to provide services to us and are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.
Other members: information you choose to display in the member directory, your profile, or community spaces is visible to other members according to your settings. Review your visibility settings in the Portal at any time.
Legal requirements: when required to comply with law, legal process, or a valid request from public authorities, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of WoGM, our members, or others.
Organizational changes: if WoGM merges with or transfers its operations to another organization, your data may be transferred, and we will notify you of any material change in how it is handled.
With your consent or at your direction.

International Data Transfers

WoGM is based in the United States, and our members are located around the world. If you use the Portal from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as standard contractual clauses.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, and reporting needs. In general, we keep membership records while your membership is active and for a reasonable period afterward, then delete or de-identify them.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a data breach affects your information, we will notify you and regulators as required by law.

Access and confirmation: know whether we process your personal data and request a copy.

Deletion: request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal exceptions.
Portability: request your data in a portable format, or ask us to transfer it to another organization where feasible.

Withdraw consent: where we rely on your consent, withdraw it at any time.
Non-discrimination: we will not penalize you for exercising your rights.
