Last updated October 30, 2026
Real Girlfriends Network respects your privacy. This page explains what information this website collects, why, and the choices you have.
Who we are
This website is run by Real Girlfriends Network, LLC, together with Audrey Lewis Ministries ("we," "us," "our"). We serve women in Chicago, Illinois, and surrounding areas. You can reach us using the contact details at the bottom of this page.
Information you give us
We only collect personal information you choose to send us through our forms:
- Event updates form: your email address, your first name if you add it, and your agreement to receive emails from us.
- Message form: your name, email address, phone number if you add it, the topic you pick, and your message.
Please do not send sensitive personal details through our forms.
Information collected automatically
We do not use cookies, analytics, advertising pixels, or tracking tools on this website. Like every website, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical details when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request. These records are used to keep the site secure and running, and are not used by us to identify you.
How we use your information
- To answer your questions and messages
- To send event invitations and news, only if you checked the box to receive them
- To plan our gatherings, including tables and tickets you ask about
- To keep our website safe and working
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
Services that help us run this site
We share information only with the services needed to run this website and deliver your messages:
- FormSubmit (formsubmit.co) receives your form entries and delivers them to our email inbox.
- Yahoo Mail hosts the inbox where your messages arrive.
- Netlify hosts this website.
These services handle your information under their own privacy policies.
Links to other websites
Our pages link to other sites, including Brushfire for brunch tickets, and YouTube and Facebook for videos. These links open in a new tab. Once you leave our site, that website's own privacy policy applies. We do not control how those sites collect or use your information.
Email updates
We only add you to our email list if you check the consent box. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying "unsubscribe" to any email from us, or by contacting us.
Photos and video at our events
We may take photos and video at our gatherings and share them on this website and on social media. If you see a photo of yourself that you would like removed, contact us and we will take care of it.
How long we keep information
We keep messages and email list details only as long as we need them to respond to you, send the updates you asked for, or meet legal requirements. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
Your choices
You can ask us to tell you what information we have about you, correct it, or delete it. Just contact us. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under your state's privacy laws, and we will honor requests made under them.
Children's privacy
This website is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Keeping information safe
This website uses a secure (HTTPS) connection, and we take reasonable steps to protect your information. No website or email system is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page.
