Privacy Policy

Your privacy is extremely important to us at NWH. We know that you are trusting us with sensitive personal information and we work hard to keep your information private, safe, and secure.

We wrote this Privacy Policy to help you understand what information NWH collects as part of the Nuttall Women’s Health program, what we do with that information, and what choices you have about your information. When we use the words “NWH”, “we,” “us,” or “our,” we are referring to Nuttall Women’s Health, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. When we say “you” or “your,” we are referring to you as the user of NWH’s platform or services.

When you use NWH’s platform or services, whether through our website at [●]1 where you will be able learn more about our mission and goals, sign up for our listserv to receive information about our grant and investment opportunities, and access our grant submission portal (collectively, with related communications such as emails, social media or direct engagement, NWH’s “Services”), you accept the practices as described in this Privacy Policy.

We know that some of the concepts in this Privacy Policy can be a little technical. If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].

NWH collects information in a few different ways. This section explains what information we collect and where we collect it from.

1. Information that you give us in order to use our services. To use NWH’s Services, you need to provide your email address. This information will not be shared publicly. We do not publicize the information you give us. Other users cannot see any of the information you give us.
2. Information we collect automatically. We collect information automatically about how you interact with our Services.
   1. Device and session information. We collect information about the device you use to access our Services and information that your device may automatically send us when using our services. This type of information includes type of computer or mobile device, browser type and language, IP address, mobile carrier, and unique device identifier.
   2. Activity. We collect information about how you use our Services, such as date and time that you use our Services, the number of times you use our Services, and the pages you view.
3. Combining information we collect from different devices. You might access our Services from more than one device. We may combine and cross-reference information we collect through those different devices and platforms.
4. Cookies. NWH uses cookies in its web-based Services. We explain what cookies are and how we use cookies in our Cookie Policy.

This section explains how we use the information about you that we collect.

1. Responding to your questions and comments. We love to hear from our community! We will use your information to respond to any questions or comments that you might have for us.
2. Sending you NWH communications. When you provide us with your email address and opt in to email communications from NWH, we may email you certain communications from NWH. You can unsubscribe from NWH emails anytime by updating your preferences or clicking unsubscribe from this list.
3. Helping to improve the services we offer. We use some of the information that we collect to help us improve NWH and offer new features. For example, we may use information about how often people log on to NWH and what features they like to use to update and redesign NWH to best service our community.

Sometimes we share information with third parties. This section explains who we share information with and why.

Before we explain who we share information with, we think it’s just as important to tell you who we do not share information with. First, NWH does not sell your information. Second, unless we are required by law, NWH never shares information that could identify you.

We do share some information with certain third parties.

Service providers. NWH uses service providers to help us run our platforms and to make sure that you have the best experience possible using NWH. We get help from third parties to do things like host our website and servers, keep your information safe and secure, and receive technical support. For example, we have a service provider securely store the information you give us on its servers.

NWH’s service providers may likewise share with NWH information that they collect about you or from you in the course of providing their services.

Complying with law enforcement and legal requests, and preventing harm. We work hard to keep your information private. Even so, there are times when we may use, share, or disclose your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with laws, regulations, or legal requests. We may also share your information to address fraud, security, or technical issues, to address malicious or abusive use of our platforms, to protect the safety of NWH users, or to protect our rights or the rights of those who use our services. Finally, if you submit a complaint about something that someone else has written, we may share the substance of that complaint to give that person an opportunity to respond. In the event of a security breach, we will notify affected individuals, regulatory authorities, and others consistent with our requirements under federal and state law and our contractual obligations.

NWH works hard to protect your information. We use physical, technological, and procedural safeguards to secure your information when it is being transmitted and stored. It’s important to remember that even though we have several safeguards in place to protect your information, nothing on the internet is 100% secure.

At NWH we believe that you should control what happens to your information. This section explains what choices you have with the information that we receive from you or about you. You have three choices when it comes to your information:

1. Not providing us with your information. You have the choice not to provide us with your information. However, as we explain above, we need certain pieces of information from you in order for you to use NWH’s services. Certain services or other ways to use the NWH platform to connect with third parties, require you to provide additional information.
2. Deleting or correcting your information. If you no longer want us to collect and use your information, you can ask us to delete it. You can also correct any information about you that you believe is inaccurate.

NWH is not responsible for any lost, stolen, expired, damaged, or otherwise misdirected communications due to change of address, email address or for any other reason. You are solely responsible for updating any changes to your contact information.

If you would like to delete or correct information about you, contact [email protected] to ask us to delete or correct or access any information we may have about you. We may need to verify your identity before deleting or correcting your information. Note a request to delete or correct information, or your notice of withdrawal of your consent to use information, will not affect the lawfulness of our uses or sharing of your personal information before you request such deletion or correction or withdraw your consent. Your withdrawal of consent will not affect the legal validity or enforceability of NWH’s Terms of Service, which are available on our website and are accepted by you by use of the Services.

In addition, NWH or our partners may need to send you certain communications. You may not be able to opt out of those communications.

NWH is not meant for children under the age of 13 and is intended to be used and accessed only by adults in the United States of America. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. Certain states have additional restrictions on the collection of information from minors, and certain states and other countries have additional restrictions on collection of information from adults.

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to an embargo by the U.S. government or any other governing authority, or that has been designated by the U.S. government or any other governing authority as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any list of prohibited or restricted parties by the U.S. government or any other governing authority. The use of “governing authority” refers to any federal, national, state, tribal, provincial or local, whether domestic or foreign, government or any court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or commission or other governmental entity or instrumentality, whether domestic, foreign or supranational.

Sometimes we update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will post a notice on our platforms explaining what changed.

At the top of this Privacy Policy, you can see the date of the latest changes. If you have any questions, you can always reach out to us at [email protected].
