Privacy Policy

Effective date: [ insert date ]

Charter ("Charter," "we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of everyone who visits our website, applies to join the Charter ecosystem, or otherwise interacts with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including when you submit an application through our site. Depending on how you engage with Charter, this may include:

Contact details — name, email address, company, and role
Ecosystem segment — whether you're applying as a Guest, Host, Client, Partner, or Charter Ambassador
Application details — the answers you provide during the apply flow, such as interests, destinations, budget ranges, or the community you represent
Communications — any messages you send us directly

We also collect limited technical information automatically, such as browser type and general usage data, to help us understand how the site is used and to keep it secure.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Review and respond to applications to join the Charter ecosystem
Match guests, hosts, clients, partners, and ambassadors to the right introductions and experiences
Communicate with you about your application or our services
Improve and maintain our website and services
Comply with legal obligations

How We Share Information

Charter reviews every application individually. We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

With Charter staff involved in reviewing applications and coordinating experiences
With service providers who help us operate our website and business, under confidentiality obligations
If required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Charter or others

Introductions between guests, partners, hosts, clients, and ambassadors are made selectively and are not automatic — being part of the ecosystem does not mean your information is shared broadly with other participants.

Data Retention

We retain application and account information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining our ongoing relationship with you, or as required by law.

Your Choices

You may contact us at any time to ask what information we hold about you, to request corrections, or to request deletion, subject to any legal or legitimate business reasons we may need to retain certain information.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic site functionality and to understand aggregate usage patterns. [ Insert specifics once analytics/cookie tooling is finalized. ]

Security

We take reasonable measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Charter's services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated effective date.
