1. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through this website and related online forms, membership applications, event registrations, email subscriptions, volunteer forms, surveys, payment interfaces, and other Club-operated digital services that link to this Policy.

It does not govern independent third-party websites, platforms, campaigns, candidates, committees, social networks, payment processors, or service providers that maintain their own privacy practices.

2. Information We May Collect

Depending on how you interact with the website, we may collect:

• Contact information: name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and similar identifiers.
• Membership information: membership status, application details, interests, volunteer preferences, event participation, and related Club records.
• Transaction information: membership dues, event fees, sponsorships, purchases, or other payment-related records. Full payment-card information may be collected directly by a third-party payment processor rather than by the Club.
• Communications: messages, inquiries, survey responses, comments, requests, and other information you choose to submit.
• Device and usage information: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, timestamps, approximate location derived from IP address, and similar technical information.
• Cookie and analytics information: information collected through cookies, pixels, tags, analytics tools, or similar technologies where used.

3. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
• Process membership applications and maintain membership records;
• Register participants for meetings, events, programs, or volunteer activities;
• Respond to questions, requests, or communications;
• Send administrative, membership, event, civic, informational, advocacy, or promotional communications as permitted by law;
• Process authorized transactions and maintain accounting or organizational records;
• Prevent fraud, misuse, unauthorized access, and security incidents;
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable agreements or policies;
• Understand website usage and improve content and services; and
• Carry out other purposes disclosed at the time information is collected.

4. Political and Civic Participation Information

Because the Club is a political and civic organization, information you voluntarily provide may reveal or suggest political interests, affiliations, activities, issue preferences, or participation in Club events. We will use such information for legitimate Club, membership, communication, event, advocacy, administrative, or legal-compliance purposes and as otherwise described in this Policy.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website traffic, measure engagement, improve performance, and support embedded content or third-party services. Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

6. Analytics and Third-Party Services

We may use third-party vendors for website hosting, analytics, email distribution, payment processing, event management, security, forms, social-media integration, or similar services. These providers may process information on our behalf or under their own privacy policies, depending on the service.

7. How We May Disclose Information

We may disclose information:

• To vendors, contractors, and service providers performing services for the Club;
• To officers, directors, volunteers, or authorized representatives who need the information for legitimate Club activities;
• When required by law, subpoena, court order, legal process, or governmental request;
• When reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, systems, or interests of the Club, our members, website users, or others;
• In connection with a reorganization, merger, transfer, or other lawful organizational transaction; or
• With your consent or at your direction.

We do not represent that every disclosure described above occurs in every circumstance.

8. Sale of Personal Information

The Club does not intend to sell personal information for monetary consideration. If our practices change in a manner that creates additional rights or obligations under applicable law, this Policy will be updated and any legally required notices or choices will be provided.

9. Email Communications and Opt-Out Choices

You may unsubscribe from promotional or marketing email communications by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the message or by contacting us. We may continue to send non-promotional messages reasonably necessary for membership administration, transactions, security, legal notices, event registration, or other ongoing relationships.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we maintain. However, no online service or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Where applicable, the Club will address security incidents and legally required notifications in accordance with applicable federal and Florida law.

11. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including membership administration, event management, organizational records, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, accounting, legal compliance, and enforcement of agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and applicable legal requirements.

12. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information online from children under 13 in a manner subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. If we learn that information has been collected from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address it.

13. Your Privacy Choices

You may contact us to request that we update or correct certain information you have provided, to unsubscribe from promotional communications, or to ask questions regarding our data practices. We may need to verify your identity before acting on certain requests.

Additional privacy rights may apply to some individuals depending on residence, the nature of the information, the Club's activities, and whether a particular privacy law applies to the Club.

14. Florida Privacy and Data-Security Matters

Florida law requires covered entities to take reasonable measures to protect certain personal information in electronic form and establishes requirements for notification after qualifying data breaches. The Club intends to comply with applicable Florida data-security requirements.

Florida also has privacy provisions that apply to certain qualifying businesses and data controllers. Whether particular provisions apply depends on statutory definitions, exemptions, revenue thresholds, processing activities, and other factors. Nothing in this Policy should be interpreted as a representation that every Florida privacy statute applies to the Club.

15. Do Not Track and Browser Signals

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals. Because there is not a single universally accepted standard governing all such signals, our response may depend on the technology used, the services enabled on the website, and applicable law.

16. External Links

The website may link to third-party websites or services. The Club is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of websites and services you visit.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, website features, vendors, or Club practices. The revised Policy will be posted with a new “Last Updated” date.
