Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

SCC Global ("we", "us", "our") operates sccglobal.org, the member dashboard at admin.sccglobal.org, and the SCC mobile app. This policy explains what personal information we collect and how we use it.

2. Information We Collect

• Account information — name, email, phone, city, preferred language, and profile photo.
• Business listings — vendor name, category, address, description, and images you submit.
• Payments — subscription plan and transaction records; card details are handled by our payment processor and never stored on our servers.
• Usage data — pages viewed, events booked, referrals, and device/browser information.
• Communications — messages you send us through email or support forms.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Services.
• Process subscriptions, event bookings, and Refer & Earn rewards.
• Verify vendor listings through local committees.
• Send transactional emails, event reminders, and community updates.
• Detect fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data only with:

• Service providers who host, email, or process payments on our behalf, under confidentiality agreements.
• Event organisers, for tickets you purchase to their events.
• Authorities, when required by law or to protect the community.

5. Cookies & Analytics

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and to remember your language preference. We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

6. Data Retention

We keep account data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to comply with legal obligations. You can request deletion at any time (see Your Rights).

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures — encrypted connections, hashed passwords, access controls — to protect your information. No online service is 100% secure; please use a strong, unique password.

8. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you may withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time. Contact info@sccglobal.org to exercise these rights.

9. Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. International Users

SCC Global is based in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US.
