Information We Collect

Information you provide

We may collect your name, email address, phone number, city or location, form responses, consent selection, event interests, and any information you include in a message. Please do not submit passwords, government identification numbers, financial account details, health records, or other sensitive information through general website forms.

Technical information

Our WordPress host and security providers may automatically process standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, timestamps, and server logs. Cookies or similar technologies may be used when required for site operation, security, accessibility, embedded media, or analytics that are deliberately enabled.

Third-party content

The site may link to content from Instagram, sponsors, and other third parties. Those services may collect information under their own privacy policies when you visit their sites. The Standard does not control those third-party practices.

How We Use Information

We may use information to respond to inquiries, review invitation requests, communicate event details, operate and protect the site, maintain records, improve the community experience, and meet legal obligations. We will use contact information for promotional messages only where permission or another lawful basis exists, and each marketing message should include a practical opt-out method.

How Information Is Shared

Information may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, WordPress administration, form delivery, email, security, event operations, and any membership platform later selected. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect safety or rights, or as part of a legitimate organizational transaction. The Standard does not sell or rent personal information for money.

Retention

Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, required recordkeeping, dispute resolution, safety, or legal compliance. Retention periods for invitation requests, contact messages, event records, and member information are reviewed as the community’s services and legal obligations develop.

Security

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect personal information. No website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. If you believe information submitted through the site has been misused, contact The Standard promptly.

Your Choices and Rights

You may ask to access, correct, or delete information you submitted, withdraw consent where applicable, or stop non-essential communications. Rights vary by location. Use the Unsubscribe page to stop marketing and community update emails, send a request to oscar@oscarmortgage.com, or use the Contact page. Identity may need to be verified before a request is completed.

Children’s Privacy

This men’s membership community and website are intended only for adults aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly request personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information, notify The Standard so it can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.

Service Area and Visitors Outside California

The Standard’s geographic service area is California, United States. If you access the site from another state or country, your information may be processed in California under laws that differ from those where you live.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated as the site, community, vendors, or legal requirements change. A revised effective date will be posted at the top of this page, and material changes will be communicated through a reasonable channel.
