Personal Information Collected

 FWI collects and stores contact information from individuals as it is knowingly provided to us, including email addresses. FWI does not distribute personal information or email addresses to third parties without your explicit consent. We use this information to contact individuals via email and mail with additional resources that might be of interest, including upcoming events and trainings, new publications, or other resources. You may choose at any time not to provide personally identifiable information. 

The following are examples of personally identifiable information that you may volunteer to provide and examples of how we use such information. 

• Email Addresses – FWI collects email addresses from those that register for events or subscribe to emails. FWI may use your email address to send you emails from FWI, including marketing emails from FWI, updates, or email newsletters. To unsubscribe to any or all of FWI emails, click unsubscribe located at the bottom of any FWI email communication. FWI does not distribute email addresses to third parties without your prior explicit consent.  
• Mailing Addresses – FWI collects mailing addresses of those that register for events or purchase items. FWI may send via mail member newsletters, brochures or other promotional items. To opt out of any mailings from FWI contact FWI directly at workplaceforum@stthomas.edu and request to be removed from the physical mailing list. FWI only distributes publicly available organizational addresses, and in doing so does not associate individual names, except main contacts, to third parties. 
• Cookies – FWI web site uses cookies to collect information about both website usage, and to ensure a better user experience.  This experience may also include marketing information.

Organizational Information Collected 

FWI makes organizational contact information and professional contact information available through The Forum on Workplace Inclusion® presenter online directory; however, information published was supplied via the organization represented or professional, or gathered from publicly available informational resources.  

Email addresses, phone, and fax numbers are not made available to third parties without your prior explicit consent. Any organization may request their information be omitted from lists provided to third parties by contacting FWI at workplaceforum@stthomas.edu or (651) 962-4377 and expressing its preference not to have its information shared.
