What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Form Data Retention
When visitors leave comments on the site by filling out our forms, we collect the data shown in the comments form and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. If you upload images via our forms, we use them only for the purposes indicated which may include newsletters or sponsorship of our events.
Collection of Your Personal Information
LPRW website may be used without entering your personally identifiable information. However, the LPRW may seek to collect from you personally identifiable information at various points throughout the site, as detailed below.
Users who make a financial transaction (e.g., renewing membership dues, registering for an event, making a donation, or purchasing a product) are required to submit their name, address, occupation and employer (mandated by the IRS), as well as their credit card information and billing address. LPRW does not collect or retain any financial information. We use the Square service for all credit card transactions via our website.
Users who are registering for an event may be asked to supply certain information, such as dietary restrictions. Form users can choose to submit optional personal information, including demographics and biographical data.
Who we share your data with
We do not share our membership list or member data with any non-affiliated organizations. We are required, due to our affiliation with the Texas Federation of Republican Women and the National Federation of Republican Women, to share member data with them. That sharing is subject to the TFRW and NFRW privacy policies.
No personal information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
