Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Silver Circle is a private alumni platform for the SJC Class of 2001. It includes our website, mobile application, and related services that help members reconnect, view profiles, share stories, browse galleries, follow updates, and participate in reunion activities.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us at admin@sjcbatch2001.com.

2. Information We Collect

• Account and profile information such as your name, email address, location, occupation, profile details, reunion status, and contribution-related data.
• Content you submit, including stories, comments, reactions, photos, profile images, family details, memories, and access-request information.
• Technical and device information such as browser type, app version, operating system, IP address, log data, and diagnostic information used to improve reliability and security.
• Push notification tokens if you choose to enable notifications on your device.
• Authentication and session data needed to sign you in securely and keep your account protected.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Operate, maintain, and secure the Silver Circle website and mobile app.
• Authenticate members, manage accounts, and protect the community from misuse.
• Display member profiles, directory entries, stories, galleries, and community activity.
• Send important service communications, community updates, and optional push notifications.
• Improve app performance, fix bugs, analyze usage, and support reunion planning.
• Comply with legal obligations and respond to legitimate requests or disputes.

4. Community Visibility

Silver Circle is a private community platform. Some profile information, stories, comments, reactions, and uploaded media may be visible to other authenticated members. Please share only the information you are comfortable making available within the SJC 2001 community.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information.

• Trusted service providers and infrastructure partners who help us run the Services.
• Other authenticated members, but only for content and profile data that is intended to be visible within the community.
• Authorities or legal parties when required by law or necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of the platform and its users.
• A successor organization in the unlikely event of a merger, transfer, or restructuring of the service.

6. Data Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary to operate the Services, maintain community records, support reunion activities, resolve disputes, enforce our terms, and meet legal obligations. Backups and security logs may be retained for a limited period.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your data. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials private.

8. App Permissions

• Photos or media library access if you choose to upload profile or gallery images.
• Notifications if you choose to receive app updates and activity alerts.
• Biometric authentication such as Face ID, fingerprint, or device-supported unlock if you enable biometric sign-in.

9. Your Choices

• You may review and update profile information from your account where those tools are available.
• You may disable notifications or biometric access from your device or app settings.
• You may request help correcting, updating, or removing information by contacting us.
• You may request account deletion, subject to reasonable retention needs for legal, operational, and community-record purposes.

10. Children’s Privacy

Silver Circle is intended for adult alumni and invited community participants. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date on this page. Continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
