PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING VIOLATIONS OF RIGHTS OF PRIVACY OR PUBLICITY
Our Privacy Policy can be found at http://www.WomanSavers.com/p_privacy.asp. If you believe that your privacy rights have been violated by information or material that is accessible on this Service, you may notify The Company by email at Womansavers@WomanSavers.com.
All survey questions and answers were created, written and authored by random, anonymous women. All survey questions and answers are the property of their owners and are not affiliated, nor owned or authored, by WomanSavers.com, their owners, affiliates, directors, officers or employees.
Is this website legal?
Yes. If you are considering a lawsuit, you should read this page first.
Our users are anonymous. The Supreme Court of the United States has held that anonymity of speech is protected under the First Amendment to the Constitution (see McIntyre v. Ohio, 514 U.S. at 337; Talley v. State of California, 362 U.S. 60). United States courts also recognize the right to speak anonymously – AND have held that the right extends to speech on the Internet. When courts have ordered disclosure of the name of an anonymous user, a litigant must show that its need for identifying information outweighs the user's constitutional right. WomanSavers.com recognizes this right to anonymity.
According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation:
Anyone questioning the legality of anonymous postings on an internet site should familiarize themselves with 47 USC Section 230, the federal law that permits many entities to "host" other people's content without being liable for defamation/libel etc. "By its plain language, § 230 creates a federal immunity to any cause of action that would make service providers liable for information originating with a third-party user of the service." Zeran v. AOL, 129 F.3d 327, 330 (4th Cir. 1997).
Does this change when WomanSavers deletes inappropriate comments?
The answer is NO according to the following:
(2) Civil liability.--No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of-- ``(A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected.

In addition, according to the United States Supreme Court, two items must be proven for a libel (written) law suit.
1. Who wrote the libel (WomanSavers.com keeps no records or IP's so therefore, you must prove and subpoena the person who wrote the information.)
2. You must prove the information is untrue. The truth is 100% defense for libel and is covered under the First Amendment, Freedom of Speech. The original poster would have to testify that the written information is untrue in a court of law. WomanSavers.com members must agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy BEFORE they post. This includes that they are telling the truth.
If a correction needs to be made to a posting, anyone is free to post an automatic comment at no charge.
Please note, WomanSavers.com is not located in the United States and does not do business in the United States. We are located in the country of Costa Rica.
