Our Commitment to Privacy
WFE Houston values its members and respects their privacy. We collect member information for our password-protected member directory, membership administration, event registration, communications, and to collect dues and fees. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

If our information practices change in the future, we will post an updated policy on our website. You may exercise your choices about how we collect and use your information at any time.

When you pay dues and/or fees online, we collect information such as name, address, credit card number, and expiration date. We use this information to process the payment transaction, confirm your payment, or contact you if we have questions regarding your payment.

Credit Card Safety
Protecting the safety of your credit card information is important to us. We use Secure Sockets Layer technology to protect the security of your credit card information as it is transmitted to us. Secure Sockets Layer technology is a method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our website’s servers.
To make sure you are accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information, look for an unbroken key or a closed lock icon in your browser. To double-check for security, look at the URL or location line of your browser. If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address should change from “http” to “https.”
Some browser versions and some firewalls do not permit communication through secure servers like the ones we use to process payments at WFE Houston. If for any reason you cannot access the secure server, or if you are not comfortable paying online, please contact us for assistance.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
WFE Houston may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be posted on this website.
