Privacy and Security Commitment
At Women Phil, safeguarding your privacy and securing the information you entrust to us during your visit to our Website is paramount. We’ve formulated this privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) to elucidate our privacy practices, information gathering methodologies, and the choices available to you regarding the collection and utilization of data. Terms mentioned herein that aren’t defined shall bear the meanings ascribed to them in Women Phil’s Website terms of use (the “Terms of Use”), where this Privacy Policy is integrated and made an integral part. By utilizing the Website, you consent to adhere to this Privacy Policy, subject to potential modifications over time, as stipulated in the Terms of Use.
Policy Updates
Women Phil reserves the prerogative to amend or revise this Privacy Policy unilaterally. As we continually enhance our Website and leverage technological advancements to enrich the services we provide, periodic alterations to this Privacy Policy are inevitable. We shall notify you of any changes by updating the Privacy Policy page on the Website, with corresponding amendments to the “updated” date at the policy’s conclusion. However, we are not obligated to personally inform you of such modifications. We thus encourage you to frequently refer to this policy to stay abreast of our current privacy directives and practices.
Ensuring Security
We implement suitable physical, electronic, and administrative measures meticulously designed to uphold the security and accuracy of the personally identifiable information (PII) we collect. These measures encompass restricting physical access to our database servers, employing electronic security systems, and implementing password protections to thwart unauthorized entry. Any attempt to breach the security or test the vulnerabilities of our Website is strictly prohibited, in accordance with the Terms of Use. Violations may incur civil or criminal penalties, as per applicable law.
Secure Transmission
PII furnished on the Website during online credit card transactions is transmitted via a secure server, utilizing Secure Socket Layering (SSL) encryption technology. Upon successful encryption, the URL prefix transitions from “http” to “https,” signifying a secure transmission. Notwithstanding, email correspondence lacks encryption and is deemed insecure for transmitting PII or credit card data. Although we exercise due diligence in facilitating secure data transmission and storage, no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely impervious to security breaches. Consequently, we cannot warrant the absolute security of information transmitted over the Internet.
Information Collection
We categorize the information gathered through the Website into two types: personally identifiable information provided voluntarily and automatic information collected anonymously. The former includes data such as name, address, contact details, interests, etc., supplied during interactions with the Website, while the latter comprises aggregated tracking and site usage statistics collected anonymously during your Website visits.

We leverage the information collected for diverse purposes, including:
- Provision of requested services and content
- Processing subscription transactions
- Communication for promotional and marketing endeavors
- Notification of news and events relevant to Women Phil

Information Sharing
We may share collected information with:
- Legal entities for compliance with the law or legal proceedings
- Approved third-party service providers solely for service provision
- Reader-submitted content, subject to our discretion
Children’s Privacy
We prioritize the protection of children’s privacy, ensuring our Website’s general audience orientation. Our Website doesn’t target individuals under 13, and we refrain from corresponding with minors aged 13 to 18 without parental consent. Additionally, our sweepstakes are exclusively for entrants aged 18 and above.
