Privacy Policy
FemSTEM (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy.
We developed this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, share, and protect Personal Information (defined below), and your choices about the collection and use of Personal Information.
This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information collected or processed to provide our services (the “Services”) and through www.FemSTEM.com and any other FemSTEM-operated website, app, or social media page that links to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Site and Services”).
1. What is Personal Information
“Personal Information” is information that identifies or relates to a particular individual. Examples of
Personal Information include, among others, name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and
online identifiers.
2. How We Use Personal Information?
We use Personal Information the following purposes:
- Providing our Site and Services to you.
- Analyzing, administering, and improving the Site and Services;
- Enabling secure use of the Site and Services;
- Facilitating and processing payment for Services purchased on the Site;
- Sending information and promotional materials;
- Protecting our rights or our property;
- Meeting legal obligations; and

3. Disclosure of Personal Information
Generally, we will disclose information as required to provide the Services you request. We will not
disclose Personal Information except as set forth in this Privacy Policy or with your consent. Specifically,
we do not sell Personal Information. This section describes to whom we disclose Personal Information and for what purposes:
- Our Service Providers. We engage service providers to perform tasks on our behalf and to assist us in operating the Site or providing our Services. For example, we engage third parties to provide analytics services and Site-infrastructure hosting. We take commercially reasonable steps to help ensure our service providers provide at least the same level of protection for Personal Information as we do.
- Companies Involved in Mergers and Acquisitions Transactions. If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of our business or assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, or liquidation), any information collected through the Site and Services, including Personal Information, may be among the items sold or transferred.
- Law Enforcement, Government Agencies, and Courts. We may disclose Personal Information at the request of law enforcement or government agencies; in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; to establish, protect, or exercise our rights; to defend against a legal claim; to protect the rights, property, or safety of any other person; or as otherwise required by law.
4. How We Protect the Confidentiality of Personal Information
We protect the confidentiality and security of information we obtain in the course of business. We use commercially reasonable safeguards, such as industry-standard encryption technology, to help keep the information collected through the Site and Services secure.
Despite these efforts to store Personal Information in a secure operating environment, we cannot guarantee the security of Personal Information during its transmission or its storage on our systems. Further, while we attempt to ensure the integrity and security of Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third parties such as hackers from illegally obtaining access to Personal Information. We do not represent or warrant that Personal Information about you will be protected against, loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties.
