Privacy, without the fine-print fog.

This policy applies to managersclub.com, its account and profile features, and newsletter signup forms shown on the site. It does not govern a third-party site after you follow a link away from Managers Club.

Managers Club is operated by Vidal Graupera, doing business as The VDG Group, in California, United States. In this policy, “Managers Club,” “we,” and “us” refer to that operation.

We use information to:

• deliver, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the site;
• create accounts, authenticate users, and display saved profiles;
• send newsletters you request and manage subscriptions;
• respond to feedback, questions, and rights requests;
• understand readership and improve content and navigation;
• detect abuse, protect users, and enforce our terms; and
• meet legal obligations and establish or defend legal claims.

Managers Club does not use your information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Where European or UK law applies, our legal bases may include performing a service you request, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the site, consent where requested, and compliance with law.

The site uses essential technologies for sign-in and security and uses Google Analytics 4 to understand visits and site performance. Google Analytics may use identifiers such as _ga and related cookies. Embedded services may also use cookies or browser storage under their own policies.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser, although sign-in and other features may stop working. You can also use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on (opens in a new tab).

Google and some embedded providers may collect information about your activity over time and across different websites, subject to their own privacy notices and settings.

These are the main outside services visible in the current site. Their privacy notices govern their own processing. A service may receive information when its feature loads or when you interact with it.

We disclose information only as needed in these circumstances:

• to hosting, database, email, analytics, authentication, and content providers that help run the site;
• to a service you deliberately use, such as an embedded player, sign-in provider, Google Form, newsletter form, or external link;
• when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate abuse, or respond to lawful requests;
• in connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, or sale of all or part of the operation; or
• with your direction or consent.

The current site does not include a behavioral-ad network or a payment-card processor. Analytics, embeds, and referral links still involve disclosures to the named providers, so we do not describe that information as “never shared.”

We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here. Account and profile information is generally kept while the account is active or until deletion is requested, subject to legal, security, fraud-prevention, and backup needs. Newsletter, analytics, contact-form, email-delivery, and request-log retention also depends on the relevant provider’s settings and operational requirements.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, and we expect providers to protect information they process for us. No website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed fully secure.

You may:

• change saved profile details from your account;
• unsubscribe using the link in any newsletter;
• control cookies through your browser and the tools above; and
• ask us to access, correct, provide a copy of, or delete personal information associated with you.

Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, opt out of certain data uses, or complain to your local data-protection authority. California residents may have additional rights under California law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a right that applies to you.

Email legal@managersclub.com with the subject “Privacy request.” We may need to verify your identity and may retain limited information where an exception permits or requires it. Authorized agents should include proof of authority.

Managers Club is intended for a professional audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can investigate and delete it where appropriate.

Managers Club is based in the United States, and our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Those countries may have data-protection rules different from the rules where you live. If international-transfer rules apply to you, contact us for information about relevant safeguards.

We may revise this policy as the site, providers, or law changes. We will post the revised version here and update the date at the top. If a change materially affects how we use information, we will provide additional notice when appropriate.
