Disclosure of Personal

We will not, without
your consent, disclose any personal identification information about you as an individual
user to any third party. When necessary we may use your personal information to
ensure compliance with company policies and applicable law.
Finally, IWLA reserves
the right to disclose list member information in special cases when we have reason
to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference
with (either intentionally or unintentionally) IWLA's rights or property, other
visitors, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. IWLA also reserves
the right to disclose visitor or list member information when we believe in good
faith that the law requires it.
Aggregate Information
From time to time, we
may collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of
www.iwla.com, such as how many visitors visit a specific page, how long
they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on. IWLA also
collects and reports aggregate statistical information on the open rates and response
rates generated by the email campaigns we send. We collect this information through
the use of technologies such as “IP addresses”, which are discussed in greater detail
below. We collect this information to enhance the website experience and provide
information that is valued by our visitors and customers. Please be assured that
this aggregate data will in no way personally identify you, or any other visitors
to www.iwla.com.
IP Addresses
An IP address is a number
that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you use the web. Web servers,
the computers that “serve” web pages, automatically identify your computer by its
IP address. Company collects IP addresses for purposes of system administration,
to report aggregate information and to track the use of
www.iwla.com. When visitors request pages from www.iwla.com
or click on a link in an email sent by IWLA, our servers log the visitor's IP address.
We reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify a visitor when it will enhance
the users experience or if we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with www.iwla.com’s
policies or to protect the IWLA, www.iwla.com,
its visitors, or others.
Cookies
We currently use cookie
technology consistent with industry standards. We do not disclose or sell any information
obtained through the use of these cookies to other companies. We reserve the right
to use cookies on certain pages for the sole use of tracking web site/page hits,
performance, and to recognize returning users. Any information obtained through
the use of cookies is intended to make the user's web experience easier. We also
use this information for site performance analysis. Please check this privacy policy
for any changes regarding this matter.
Security
We use industry-standard
encryption technologies when transferring and receiving sensitive data exchanged
with our site. We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities
to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected
from you at our site. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data
repository can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while IWLA strives
to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant
the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and cannot
be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your personal
information.

The terms of this Privacy
Policy may change from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes
to this Privacy Policy by posting a notice on the homepage of the Site for a reasonable
period of time after such changes are made, that this Privacy Policy has been updated,
and by changing the “Last Modified” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. We encourage
you to check this page periodically for any changes. Your continued use of
