SIC collects information in two main ways: information you provide directly to us, and information collected automatically when you use our platform.

• Account information: Name, email address, membership tier, and profile information you provide during registration or account setup.
• Communication data: Messages you send us via contact forms, SAGE interactions (anonymized and aggregated), and email correspondence.
• Usage data: Pages visited, features used, and time spent on the platform — used to improve your experience.
• Payment information: Processed securely through our payment processor (Stripe). SIC does not store full payment card numbers.

We use your information to:

• Provide and improve SIC services, programs, and community features
• Communicate with you about your membership, updates, and relevant content
• Personalize your experience within the SIC platform
• Process payments and manage membership accounts
• Comply with legal obligations and protect the integrity of our community

SIC does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share information with:

• Service providers who help operate our platform (e.g., payment processors, email providers) — under strict data processing agreements
• Legal authorities when required by law or to protect the safety of our community
• Other members, only to the extent you've made information visible in your profile or through community features

You have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at admin@socialintegrity.community. We will respond within 30 days.

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Upon account deletion, personal data is removed within 90 days, unless retention is required for legal compliance.

SIC uses cookies to remember your preferences and improve site functionality. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit certain features.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll notify members of material changes via email and update the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of SIC after policy changes constitutes acceptance.
