Disclosure of Personal Information

IWLA 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 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 who 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 is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you use the web. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. IWLA 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 user’s experience or if we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with www.IWLA.com policies or to protect IWLA, www.IWLA.com, its visitors, or others.

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 the IWLA website. 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.

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.
