Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Veterans Beer Club Temecula ("VBC", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy describes what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a member or visitor.
Information We Collect
- Account information: Name, email address, and password when you register
- Profile information: Branch of service, skills, job interests, and other details you choose to share
- Attendance records: Event check-ins, RSVPs, and community activity
- Employer interactions: If you opt in to employer visibility, your profile may be viewed by verified employers
- Usage data: Pages visited and features used, collected to improve the platform
- Demographic data: Branch, service era, and background information used for grant reporting and analytics only
How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain your membership account
- To send event updates and community announcements (you can unsubscribe at any time)
- To match you with employment opportunities if you opt in
- To improve our platform and personalize your experience
- To generate aggregate analytics and grant reporting
Employer Visibility
If you enable "Open to Employers" on your profile, verified employers can view your public-facing profile including skills and job interests.
What employers can never see: email address, phone number, PIN, demographic data (race, disability status, VA benefits), financial information, or any data you have not explicitly made public.
This separation is enforced at both the application and database level.
Third-Party Services
We use the following services to operate the VBC platform:
- Supabase — Secure database, authentication, and file storage
- Resend — Email delivery for notifications and campaign emails
- Vercel — Web hosting and content delivery
- Upstash Redis — Rate limiting and caching
Each provider maintains their own privacy practices. We share only the minimum data required for each service to function.
Your CCPA Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected about you
- Request a copy of your personal information
- Request deletion of your personal information
- Opt out of the sale of personal information — we do not sell your data
- Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at vbctemecula@gmail.com. We will respond within 45 days.
Data Retention
We retain your account information as long as your account is active. Attendance records and event history may be retained for program reporting purposes after account deletion, in anonymized or aggregate form only.
Security
We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (TLS), hashed passwords and PINs, role-based access controls, and regular security audits. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take every reasonable precaution.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a revised date. For significant changes, we will notify members by email.
