We may collect a variety of information from or about you or your devices from various sources, as described below.
Registration and Profile Information. If you use the “contact us” feature of our Services, we ask you for your name, email address, and phone number. If you sign up for a non-member account, we ask for your full name, email, phone, physical address. If you sign up to be a MedtechWOMEN member (“Member”) account, we ask for the foregoing information as well as other demographic information like your gender identity and race/ethnicity. In addition, we ask Members to provide information about their professional roles and responsibilities, such as your current employer and job title. We ask Members whether you want to be included in our Member Directory, which is only accessible by other MedtechWOMEN Members and Sponsors.
Communications. If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you. For example, when you contact support, we will receive your name, email address, phone number, the contents of a message or attachments that you may send to us, and other information you choose to provide. If you sign up for an account (as noted above), you will also be subscribed to our newsletter. When we send you emails, we may track whether you open them to learn how to deliver a better customer experience and improve our Services.
Careers. If you decide that you wish to apply for a job with us, you may submit your contact information and your resume online. We will collect the information you choose to provide on your resume, such as your education and employment experience. You may also apply through LinkedIn.

If you make a purchase (such as paying Membership dues or registering for our conferences), or make a donation through our Services, your payment-related information, such as credit card or other financial information, is collected by our third-party payment processor on our behalf.
MedTech Vision App. If you attend our conference, you may be offered the option to download an App to facilitate your conference experience. The App is hosted by a third-party, and is not controlled by us. Your use of the third-party App is governed by that third party’s terms and privacy policy.

Marketing Communications. You can unsubscribe from our promotional emails via the link provided in the emails. Even if you opt-out of receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us.
Do Not Track. There is no accepted standard on how to respond to Do Not Track signals, and we do not respond to such signals.
Our Services may contain links to other websites, products, or services that we do not own or operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to your activities on these third-party services or any information you disclose to these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information to them.
We make reasonable efforts to protect your information by using physical and electronic safeguards designed to improve the security of the information we maintain. However, as no electronic transmission or storage of information can be entirely secure, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your information.
We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under 13 years of age, and no part of our Services are directed to children. If you learn that a child has provided us with personal information in violation of this Privacy Policy, then you may alert us at mtw@medtechwomen.org.
Our Services are hosted in the United States and intended for visitors located within the United States. If you choose to use Services from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your personal information outside of those regions to the United States for storage and processing. Also, we may transfer your data from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Services. By providing any information, including personal information, on or to the Services, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.
You can update your account and profile information [or close your account] through your profile settings. If you have questions about your privacy on Services or this privacy policy, please contact us at mtw@medtechwomen.org.
We will post any adjustments to the Privacy Policy on this page, and the revised version will be effective when it is posted. If we materially change the ways in which we use or share personal information previously collected from you through Services, we will notify you through Services, by email, or other communication.
