Personal Data Processing Policy

• Purpose: we collect data only for the purposes we tell you about, and do not use it for unrelated purposes without new consent.
• Minimum data: we ask only for what we need to register you, communicate with you and serve you.
• Consent: we send text messages and marketing emails only with your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time.
• Accuracy: you can update or correct your data whenever you ask.
• Security and confidentiality: access is limited by role, protected by passwords and encryption in transit, and everyone who handles data is bound by confidentiality.
• Limited retention: we keep data only as long as needed (see section 6).

We do not ask for sensitive data (such as health, financial account or government ID numbers) through the Site or our forms.

• MTC team: staff and contractors in the United States and Colombia, each with access limited to their role and bound by written confidentiality obligations.
• Service providers (processors): our CRM and website platform, email and SMS delivery providers, scheduling tools and event venues. They process data only on our instructions and may not use it for their own purposes.

Mobile phone numbers and text message consent are never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

Your data is stored with U.S.-based service providers and may be accessed by MTC team members in Colombia to support registrations and members. When data is accessed from Colombia, MTC applies the same protections described in this policy and complies with Colombian data protection law (Law 1581 of 2012 and its regulations) as it applies to that processing. By submitting your information, you authorize this processing in the United States and Colombia.

• Event registration, assessment and contact data: up to three (3) years after your last interaction, then deleted or anonymized.
• Consent and opt-out records: kept as long as needed to show compliance with messaging laws.
• Member data: for the term of membership and as required afterwards by law or the membership agreement.

You can ask us to:

• Know what personal data we hold about you and how it is used.
• Update or correct it.
• Delete it, unless we must keep it by law.
• Withdraw your consent to messages at any time (reply STOP to texts, or unsubscribe from emails).
• Receive proof of the consent you gave us.

Email lionpride@themastertradesclub.com with the subject “Data request,” your name and the email or phone number you registered with. We may ask you to confirm your identity. We answer questions within 10 business days and complaints or deletion requests within 15 business days, or sooner when the law requires.

If we learn of unauthorized access to personal data, we will act promptly to contain it, assess the impact and notify affected people and authorities when required by law.

We may update this policy. The effective date at the top shows when it last changed, and material changes will be posted on the Site before they take effect.
