Privacy Policy

• AI Preparation Inputs: Text and data provided while interacting with the EWIS+ Ally AI agent.
• Chat Transcripts: Full audio or text transcripts of the “Ally Chat” session.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), EWIS+ Ally may collect the following categories of personal information:

• Identifiers: Such as name, email address, IP address, account login credentials, and device identifiers.
• Professional or Employment Information: Such as work history, career stage, certifications, skills, and professional interests.
• Internet or Electronic Network Activity: Such as interactions with the platform, usage logs, and device metadata.
• Audio or Electronic Communications: Including transcripts or recordings of Ally Chat sessions.
• Inferences: Insights derived from onboarding data and interactions to facilitate AI-driven matching.
• Sensitive Personal Information: Demographic data (e.g., racial/ethnic origin, gender identity) used to ensure inclusive STEAM+ matching, and neural data (if applicable to future AI-driven interactions).
• Sources of Personal Information: We collect personal information directly from users, automatically through use of the Services, and from trusted third-party service providers such as payment processors and background check providers.

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CPRA), Cal. Civ. Code §1798.130.

To facilitate the connection between Members and Allies using our proprietary AI algorithm.

We use non-identifying, de-identified, or aggregated elements of your onboarding data and chat transcripts to train and refine our matching models and AI agents. This allows us to improve the experience for the entire community without exposing your personal identity to the model’s training set.

To monitor for violations of our Code of Conduct and to investigate reported incidents during chats.

To process subscriptions and cycle fees via secure, PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment processors (such as Stripe).

EWIS+ Ally utilizes automated systems and machine learning algorithms to assist in matching Members and Allies. EWIS+ Ally performs periodic internal reviews of our matching logic to identify and mitigate unintended algorithmic bias, ensuring that matches are based on professional criteria and user-defined priorities.

• Logic: These systems analyze onboarding data, professional attributes, preferences, and interaction signals to generate recommended matches.
• User Rights & Appeals: In accordance with 2026 California regulations, users may request additional information about the logic involved in our automated matching process, opt-out of such processing (which may limit Service functionality), or request a human review and appeal of significant automated decisions—such as account suspension or match eligibility—by contacting our Privacy Officer at privacy@elevatewomeninstem.com. Further details on our commitment to fairness and your rights can be found in our AI Transparency & Logic Disclosure.

EWIS+ Ally does not sell your personal information. We also do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined under the California Privacy Rights Act. If our practices change in the future, users will be provided with an opportunity to opt out through a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism as required by law.

We share information with trusted third-party partners who assist us in operating our Services, conducting our business, or servicing you (e.g., payment processors, background check providers, and hosting services). These partners have access to your information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated to protect it.

We utilize enterprise-tier API services from third-party providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) to power our AI agents. Data sent to these providers is governed by their enterprise privacy terms, which generally prohibit using your data to train their public foundation models.

We may sell, transfer, or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including your personal information, in connection with a potential or actual corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. In such an event, you will receive notice if your data is transferred and becomes subject to a substantially different privacy policy.

We may disclose your information to third parties if we determine that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or appropriate government request; (b) protect any person from death or serious bodily injury; (c) prevent fraud or abuse of EWIS+ Ally or our users; or (d) protect the rights, property, or safety of EWIS+ Ally, our users, or others.

We strive to ensure that our servers and connections incorporate industry-standard encryption and security protocols. We have implemented physical, electronic, and managerial procedures designed to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

While EWIS+ Ally implements commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, EWIS+ Ally cannot guarantee absolute security of your data. To the extent permitted by applicable law, EWIS+ Ally shall not be responsible for unauthorized access that occurs despite the implementation of reasonable security measures.
