Privacy Policy
YPO Southern California · Effective July 30, 2026
yposocal.com and the YPO SoCal app are the private platform of the YPO Southern California chapter. They exist for one audience — the chapter's members, Gold members, and their spouses and partners — and for one purpose: running the chapter. This policy describes what the platform holds, why, and what it will never do with it.
The short version. Your information is used to run your chapter and for nothing else. There is no advertising, no tracking, no analytics resale, and no data sale — ever. What's shared here stays here.
What the platform holds
- Your membership record — name, email, phone, company and role, city, family details, and membership history, provided by you or by the chapter office when your account was created.
- What you post — updates, photos, videos, comments, replies, survey answers, RSVPs, and messages to the chapter. Content you share in a forum is visible only to that forum's members; chapter-wide content is visible only to signed-in members of the chapter.
- Event and payment records — your RSVPs, attendance, and payments for chapter events. Card and bank details are entered directly with and held by Stripe, our payment processor; the platform stores only the resulting receipt (what was paid, for which event).
- Optional location tags — only when you tap “Add location” on a post. Location is never collected in the background.
- Optional travel overlaps — if you switch on Crossings, your device scans your calendar locally and shares only city-level travel windows (a metro and a date range). Event titles, attendees, and details never leave your phone. The feature is off until you turn it on.
- Notifications — a push token for your device if you allow notifications, and delivery logs for chapter email you've opted into.
What it's used for
Operating the chapter: your forum's feed, the member directory, event invitations and RSVPs, chapter communications, and the tools members use with each other. Access requires membership — nothing on the platform is public.
What it is never used for
- No advertising and no ad networks.
- No sale, rental, or trade of member information — to anyone, for any reason.
- No third-party analytics or tracking SDKs, and no tracking across other companies' apps or websites.
Who touches the data
A small set of service providers process data solely on the chapter's behalf: Cloudflare (hosting and storage), Stripe (payments), Resend (transactional email), and Apple (push notification delivery). Each receives only what its function requires. Chapter administrators can see membership records and activity counts; the contents of a forum's feed remain sealed to that forum's members.
Security
Everything moves over encrypted connections. Sessions are held with secure cookies; passwords are stored only as salted hashes; a password reset signs out every device. In the native app you can add Face ID, screenshots of sealed rooms are blocked, and the app hides its content in the iOS app switcher.
Retention & your choices
- Your record and content are kept while you're part of the chapter. When membership ends, sign-in is retired immediately.
- You can edit your profile in the app, and notification, email, Face ID, and Crossings preferences are yours to change any time.
- To review, correct, export, or delete your information — or to close your account — email the chapter office and it will be handled directly.
Who may use the platform
The platform is for adult members of the YPO Southern California chapter community and is not directed to children.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the chapter will tell its members directly — by the platform's own notifications or by email — before the change takes effect.
