Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 25, 2025

The League of Women Voters of the City of New York (“LWVNYC”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. As part of the League of Women Voters, all members of the LWVNYC are also members of the League of Women Voters of New York State (“State League”) and the League of Women Voters of the United States (“National League”).

This means that your participation in the LWVNYC is also governed by the privacy frameworks of the State and National Leagues. While the LWVNYC maintains its own privacy practices, the State League Privacy Policy provides a more comprehensive description of how information is collected, used, and safeguarded across the State League. We encourage you to review it, along with the National League Privacy Policy.
