Privacy Policy.

Venta Society (“Venta Society,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a private membership platform for LGBTQ+ professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders. Discretion and trust are foundational to our community.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from applicants, members, and visitors; how we use and safeguard that information; and the rights you hold in relation to it.

By submitting a membership application or using any part of the Venta Society platform, you acknowledge the practices described in this Policy.

We collect only the information necessary to operate a curated membership society and to deliver the experiences our members expect.

Identity & Profile

• Full legal name, preferred name, pronouns, and date of birth (used to verify the 21+ age requirement).
• Email address, phone number, and city or chapter affiliation.
• Profile photograph and any biographical content you choose to publish.
• Professional details: occupation, industry, employer, role, and areas of expertise.
• Social, networking, and interest fields you elect to share with the community.

Application Information

• Responses to membership application questions, references, and supporting context.
• Application status history and internal notes used by our Membership Committee.

Member Activity

• Moments you publish (photos, videos, captions) and the audience you select for each.
• Event RSVPs, chapter participation, and Circle / Connection activity.
• Messages, comments, and reactions exchanged within the platform.
• Concierge requests and correspondence with our House team.

Technical & Device Information

• Device type, browser, operating system, and approximate location derived from IP address.
• Login times, session identifiers, and security-related diagnostics.
• Cookies and similar technologies strictly necessary to authenticate sessions and remember preferences.

Payment Information

When membership dues or paid experiences are offered, payment card details are collected and processed by our PCI-compliant payment partner. Venta Society does not store full card numbers on its own servers.

We use member information to:

• Review applications and admit qualified members to the Society.
• Provide and personalize the member experience across feeds, chapters, events, and the directory.
• Facilitate introductions, RSVPs, messaging, and other community features you initiate.
• Send transactional communications — application status, security notices, event confirmations, and concierge replies.
• Send member updates and editorial communications, which you may unsubscribe from at any time.
• Operate, secure, and continually refine the platform.
• Detect, investigate, and prevent misuse, fraud, or violations of our Community Guidelines.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell member information, and we do not share it with advertisers or third-party marketing networks.

Protecting member information is treated with the same gravity as protecting member discretion.

• All traffic between your device and our platform is encrypted in transit using TLS.
• Member data is stored on hardened, access-controlled infrastructure with encryption at rest.
• Row-level security policies enforce that members can only access information they are authorized to see.
• Privileged administrative actions are limited to a small, vetted House team and are logged for audit.
• Sensitive uploads — résumés, identification, and private documents — are stored in restricted buckets accessible only via short-lived, signed URLs.
• We routinely review our systems and respond promptly to any identified vulnerabilities.

No platform can guarantee absolute security, but we hold ourselves to the highest reasonable standard expected of a private members’ society.

Access to member information is strictly compartmentalized.

• Other members see only what your privacy settings explicitly allow on your profile, in your Moments, and across community features.
• The Venta Society Membership Committee accesses application materials solely to evaluate prospective members.
• Founders and authorized House staff access operational data only as necessary to run the Society, resolve issues, and uphold our standards.
• Vetted service providers — authentication, hosting, email delivery, and payment processing — process limited information under contractual confidentiality obligations.
• Legal authorities receive information only when required by valid legal process and only to the extent legally compelled.

We do not disclose membership status to outside parties without your consent, except as required by law.

We retain member information for as long as your membership is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to support legitimate operational, legal, and historical purposes.

• Active member profiles, content, and activity are retained for the duration of membership.
• Application records are retained for up to twenty-four (24) months following a decision to enable reapplication review and to evidence our admissions process.
• Financial and tax records are retained for the period required by applicable law.
• Backups and security logs are retained for limited windows under our retention schedule.

Upon valid request, content tied to your account may be deleted or anonymized, except where retention is required by law or to preserve the integrity of community records.

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:

• Access the information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or outdated information directly from your profile or by request.
• Request deletion of your account and associated personal information.
• Withdraw consent or opt out of non-essential communications at any time.
• Request a portable copy of the information you have provided to us.
• Object to or restrict certain processing activities.
• Lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority where applicable.

To exercise any of these rights, contact privacy@ventasociety.com. We respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe.

Venta Society is strictly a 21+ membership platform. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of twenty-one (21).

If we become aware that an applicant or account holder is under 21, the application or account will be terminated and the associated information promptly deleted.

To operate the platform, we engage a small set of carefully chosen service providers. Each is bound by contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations.

• Authentication and identity — managed sign-in, password recovery, and session security.
• Hosting and database infrastructure — encrypted storage and platform compute.
• Transactional email delivery — application notices, security messages, and concierge correspondence.
• Payment processing (where applicable) — PCI-compliant handling of dues and paid experiences.
• Analytics (where applicable) — privacy-respecting product analytics to improve the experience; no third-party advertising trackers are used.

We do not authorize any service provider to use member information for their own marketing or independent purposes.

Venta Society operates internationally. Member information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards — including standard contractual clauses — to protect your information during such transfers.

For privacy questions, access requests, or to exercise any of the rights described above, contact our Privacy Office:

This Privacy Policy is effective as of June 27, 2026.

As Venta Society evolves, we may revise this Policy to reflect changes in our practices, our platform, or applicable law. Material changes will be communicated to members by email and posted here in advance of taking effect. Continued use of the platform after such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
