We take appropriate measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information.

​

Wix.com also implements industry-standard security measures to protect your information.

​

Website groups

​

We have set up our groups to ensure member safety, privacy and security. Our groups are set as private groups and group membership requires group admin permission to be accepted as a group member. That means people must request to join a group, then be accepted into the group before becoming group members on our website. Only group members can see posts in their private group. The ability to obtain a link to a post in a private group is currently not a setting we can change on Wix.com. While there is a function to share a post via an external link, because the group is private, the post information will not be seen by the general public.  Only the name of the private group will appear and a generic page of the group will be seen when the link is clicked, asking the non-member to join the group to access information. 

 

Already a group member? If you have joined one of the groups on our website, you have control over what information is seen on your profile. Again, as we currently do not have any public groups, only other group members will see posts in the group you are in.  

 

Changes to this Privacy Policy

 

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on our website.
