Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually adjust yours (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Google Chrome) to notify you of cookie placement requests, refuse certain cookies, or decline cookies completely. If you turn off cookies completely, there may be some website features that will not be available to you, and some Web pages may not display properly.

ENSURING INFORMATION IS ACCURATE AND UP TO DATE

We take reasonable precautions to ensure that the Personal Information we Collect, Use, and Disclose is complete, relevant, and up-to-date. However, the accuracy of that information depends largely on the information you provide. That’s why we recommend that you:some text
- Let us know if there are any errors in your Personal Information; and

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We are very concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your personal data. We employ administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access.
By using this website or the Services or providing Personal Information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of this website or Services.
We use commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your Personal Information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. If we learn of a security systems breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Policy, we may preserve or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security, or technical issues; or to protect our rights or property. However, nothing in this Policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objections that you may have to a third party, including a government’s, request to disclose your information.
We strongly advise you not to share any personal information regarding your bank account details or other confidential information with any other user on the website, and in case you do so, you shall be personally responsible for the same. We shall not be held responsible or liable for the same.

YOUR CHOICES ABOUT YOUR INFORMATION

You have several choices regarding the use of information on our Services:some text
- Email and Phone Number Communications: We will periodically send you free newsletters and emails that directly promote the use of our website or Services. When you receive newsletters or promotional communications from us, you may indicate a preference to stop receiving further communications from us, and you will have the opportunity to “opt-out” by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the email you receive or by contacting us directly. Despite your indicated email preferences, we may send you service-related communications, including notices of any updates to our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy.
- Changing or Deleting Your Personal Data: You may change any of your personal information by visiting the website and following the directions therein or by emailing us at community@anitawynclub.com. You may request deletion of your personal data by us, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor your request, but please note that we may be required to keep such information and not delete it (or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements). When we delete any information, it will be deleted from the active database but may remain in our archives. We may also retain your information for fraud prevention or similar purposes.
- You may, of course, decline to submit personal data through the website, in which case we may not be able to provide certain services to you. You can review and correct the information about you that we keep on file by editing your account settings or by contacting us directly at community@anitawynclub.com.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. Thus, we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register for the Service or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, phone number, or email address. No one under age 18 may provide any personal data for accessing the Service. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under age 18, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under the age of 18, please contact us.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

In the case of a merger or acquisition, we reserve the right to transfer all the information, including personal data, stored with us to the new entity or company thus formed. Any change in the website’s policies and standing will be notified to you through email.

LINKS TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

Our website contains links to other websites. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization, or representation of our affiliation with that third party. We do not exercise control over third-party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data, or solicit personal information from you. Other sites follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES

It is our policy to provide notifications, whether required by law or for marketing or other business-related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on the website, as determined by us in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Privacy Policy.

DO NOT TRACK

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services.
We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third-party purposes, and that is why we provide the opt-out links. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.

OPTING OUT OF INFORMATION SHARING

We understand and respect that not all users may want to allow us to share their information. If you do not want us to share your information, please contact us through community@anitawynclub.com, and we will remove your information as soon as reasonably practicable. When contacting us, please clearly state your request, including your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number.
However, under the following circumstances, we may still be required to share your personal information:some text
- if we are responding to court orders or legal processes, or if we need to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
- If we believe it is necessary to share information to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.
- If we believe it is necessary to restrict or inhibit any user from using any part of our Site, including, without limitation, by means of “hacking” or defacing any portion thereof.

PHISHING OR FALSE EMAILS

If you receive an unsolicited email that appears to be from us or one of our members that requests personal data (such as your credit card, login, or password) or that asks you to verify or confirm your account or other personal information by clicking on a link, that email was likely sent by someone trying to unlawfully obtain your information, sometimes referred to as a “phisher” or “spoofer.” We do not ask for this type of information in an email. Do not provide the information or click on the link. Please contact us using the contact details provided on the website if you receive an email like this.

CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy and information security procedures from time to time. If these privacy and/or information security procedures materially change at any time in the future, we will post the new changes conspicuously on the website to notify you and provide you with the ability to opt-out in accordance with the provisions set forth above. Continued use of our website and Service, following notice of such changes, shall indicate your acknowledgment of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.

BREACH OF PRIVACY POLICY
