This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) explains how the Foundation for Female Health Awareness (“FFHA”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information when you interact with us through our website, www.femalehealthawareness.org, and any applications that we own and that link to this Notice, including our AI-enabled chat tool (collectively, our “Online Services”).

As indicated above, we use cookies to automatically collect information when individuals use our Online Services. Cookies are small text files that can be placed on your device by websites, apps, or even certain online ads. They are bits of code that help the websites and apps function, remember user preferences (e.g., to remember settings related to language and font size), and understand how visitors use the website and app. Cookies can also be used for advertising purposes, such as to provide advertisements to individuals based on their interests.

Some cookies only last while the user is using the website or app and then expire when the website or app is closed. Other cookies can stay on an individual’s device for days, months, or even longer, until they expire or the individual deletes them.

Cookies can be set either by the website or app owner (these are sometimes called “first-party” cookies) or by the owner’s service providers, such as analytics or advertising partners (these are often called “third-party” cookies).

We aggregate this data, and may combine this data with other information we collect about users to better understand how visitors use our Online Services, improve user experience, and to help manage, maintain, and report on use of our Online Services. We may also store IP addresses for fraud detection and prevention purposes.

Users can control cookies through their browser or device settings, such as by blocking, limiting, or deleting cookies. However, some features of our Online Services, or the entirety of our Online Services, may not work if cookies are blocked, limited, or deleted.
