What we collect

When you join the club: your name, email, country and the circles you choose, plus your phone number, postal address, favorite work and photo if you choose to give them.
If you request a printed card: the address you want it posted to.
If the team asks you a question: your answer.

To confirm your email, review your membership, issue your numbered card and post it to you if you ask.
To connect you with members who share your circles. We never sell your details, and we don't use them for advertising.
We rely on your consent when you join, which you can withdraw at any time by leaving the club.

Member records and photos are stored with Upstash, our database provider. Emails are sent through Resend. Your photo is resized and stripped of its location and camera data before it is stored.

If you never confirm your email, your photo is deleted after 48 hours and nothing else is saved.
Your postal address for the printed card is deleted once the card is posted. We keep only the country, for our records.
If you leave, your member record, photo, card and messages are deleted at once. We keep one marker with the time you left, so an old confirmation link can't add you back. Notices the team already received by email stay in its inbox until the team clears them.

Only the team that runs the club can see member details, and only to run the club.

You need to be 16 or older to join.
Every email from the club has a link to leave. It works at any time and deletes your member record at once.

We set no advertising or analytics cookies.
Signing in to the Members' Room or the team's admin area sets one cookie that keeps you signed in, and your browser remembers whether you have seen the club invitation.
The bot check on the site's forms, when on, runs through Cloudflare Turnstile.
Videos play through YouTube in its privacy-enhanced mode, and YouTube may process your address when one plays.

When you use the contact form we collect your name, email and message, plus the event details if you're making a booking request. We use them to pass your message to the right person and confirm that it arrived.
Messages are sent through Resend and delivered to the team's inbox. They aren't kept on this site.

When you subscribe we collect your email address, and add it to the list only once you have confirmed you want it.
Subscribers are stored with Resend, which also sends the newsletter. You stay on the list until you unsubscribe, and every newsletter has a link to do that.

You can ask to see, correct or delete what we hold about you. Depending on where you live, you may also be able to complain to your local data protection authority.
