Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Founders Club International ("FCI," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website and our membership application, events, and consultation forms, and how we use, share, and protect it.

Information We Collect

When you apply for membership, register for an event, or request a consultation, we may collect:

  • Contact details: name, email address, phone number, company, and LinkedIn profile
  • Information you submit in application or consultation forms, including your goals and areas of interest
  • Opt-in records and timestamps for SMS and email communications
  • Basic technical data: IP address, browser type, and general site usage, collected via cookies and analytics tools

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to review membership and consultation applications, coordinate event registration, respond to inquiries, and improve this website. We do not sell your personal information.

SMS & Email Communications

If you opt in to receive text messages or emails from FCI, we will only send you communications related to your membership, applications, or events you've requested information about. You can opt out of SMS at any time by replying "STOP," and unsubscribe from email using the link in any message we send. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency will vary based on your activity with FCI.

Sharing Your Information

We share information only with service providers who help us operate this site and process applications (for example, form and scheduling tools), and only to the extent necessary for them to perform that work. We do not share your contact information with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Cookies

This site uses cookies to remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the site may not work as intended if you do.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information you share with us. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so while we work to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or withdraw consent for future communications, at any time by contacting us using the details below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
