Terms of use

Thank you for visiting the Women’s Forum's website and reviewing our privacy policy and terms of use. The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you of what kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit our website and how we may use that information.

If you have any questions about the Women’s Forum privacy statement, use of personal information and terms of use, please feel free to contact us by e-mail via the contact form.


Collection and Release of Gathered Information

It is the policy of the Women’s Forum to collect only that personally-identifying information (such as name, postal address, e-mail address and phone number) that visitors to the Women’s Forum's website knowingly and voluntarily provide by completing one of the forms on the website.

The processing of your personal information is done in compliance with the terms of the French Act n°78-17 of January 6, 1978 as modified on computers, files and liberties. If you do provide personally-identifying information through one of our forms, that information may be shared with logistics partners and providers, who are contractually permitted to use such information solely in connection with organizing and conducting Women’s Forum activities. Should you register for one of the Women’s Forum activities, your contact information will be displayed to other participants of that activity for networking purposes, within the private Members Area. You may view that information within the Yearbook Area.

The Women’s Forum is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. The Women’s Forum does not collect, save or store such personally-identifying information from our visitors who just browse through our website without completing and e-mailing any forms, and does not attempt to identify users or share user information with any parties outside of the Women’s Forum, except as described above, in the event of a suspected attempt to deliberately circumvent our system's security with the intent to gain unauthorized access to or to do physical damage (for example, an attack by hackers), and as required in the course of officially authorized law enforcement investigations.

In accordance with articles 39 and 40 of the Act n°78-17 of January 6, 1978, you can access, modify or suppress all your personal data published on this website by contacting us at:

We may forward your e-mail to other employees of the Women’s Forum who are better able to answer your questions. We do not retain or distribute lists of e-mail addresses to any parties outside of the Women’s Forum. In no event, do we distribute lists of e-mail addresses to any outside parties.
