Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [09/01/2025]

At The Aureum Lodge, privacy is not merely a requirement — it is a principle. This Privacy Policy explains how the Lodge collects, uses, and protects information from visitors and members (“you”) when you engage with our website (the “Site”) or participate in the Lodge.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to preserve the integrity and function of the Lodge. This may include:

  • Personal details you provide in your entreaty for membership (such as name, email, and background).

  • Payment information necessary for processing contributions.

  • Site usage data collected in aggregate to improve the experience of visitors.

We do not collect information unrelated to the Lodge’s purpose, nor do we engage in unnecessary tracking.

2. How We Use Information

The information we collect is used solely to:

  • Review and process entreaties for membership.

  • Maintain member records and contributions.

  • Communicate with members discreetly and securely.

  • Protect the privacy and permanence of the Lodge.

3. Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure

  • Information provided by members is treated with the highest degree of confidentiality.

  • We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties.

  • Internal communications and records of the Lodge remain private and are never disclosed without explicit consent.

4. Data Security

The Lodge employs reasonable measures to safeguard personal and financial information against unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse. However, no system is immune to all risks, and the Lodge cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Member Responsibility

Members are equally bound by the spirit of discretion:

  • You must not disclose or publish private information, communications, or materials of the Lodge.

  • Any breach of confidentiality may result in suspension or termination of membership.

6. Retention of Information

  • We retain membership and contribution records for as long as necessary to preserve the continuity of the Lodge.

  • Should you withdraw or your membership be terminated, we may retain limited records to comply with legal or stewardship obligations.

7. Cookies & Site Functionality

Our Site may use minimal cookies or similar technologies to ensure proper function and security. These are not employed for advertising or tracking beyond the Lodge’s internal purposes.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to the information we hold about you.

  • Request corrections or deletion of your data.

  • Withdraw consent to certain uses of your information.

Such requests may be directed to the Concierge at the contact listed below.

9. Changes to This Policy

The Lodge may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law or practice. Revisions will be posted on this page, and continued use of the Site or membership constitutes acceptance of such changes.
