Owners Club Connect — Privacy Policy

NRE 2, LLC (“NRE 2,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information through connect.ownersclubhq.com and the Owners Club Connect Immersion Sponsorship Program (collectively, the “Platform”).

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with the Platform, we may collect:

Applicant Information

Applicants may provide:

• name;
• email address;
• phone number;
• city and state;
• community affiliation;
• current business activities;
• recent actions or accomplishments;

• reasons for seeking a sponsored seat;
• information about an existing Owners Club sponsor;
• selected Immersion;
• messages;
• Next Move submissions;
• files and links;
• seat acceptance information; and
• other information voluntarily submitted.

The application is intentionally designed to collect information that participating Owners Club members can use when considering applicants for sponsored seats.

Owners Club Member Information

For participating Owners Club members, we may collect:

• name;
• email address;

• applicant pairings;
• decisions and recommendations;
• messages;
• Next Move instructions;
• applicant evaluation statuses;
• internal notes; and
• Platform activity.

Account and Technical Information

We may collect account credentials and technical information such as IP address, browser or device information, login activity, timestamps, error information, and similar information necessary to operate and secure the Platform.

2. Application Review Information

Applicant information is collected specifically for administration of the Immersion Sponsorship Program.

Applicants should understand that information submitted in an application may be reviewed by:

• authorized members of the OC Team;
• participating Owners Club members paired with the applicant; and
• service providers supporting operation of the Platform where necessary.

Paired Owners Club members may receive the applicant's name, location, application responses, email address, messages, and Next Move information as part of sponsorship review.

3. Messages

Applicants and paired Owners Club members may exchange messages through the Platform.

These communications are visible to the participants and may also be accessible to authorized NRE 2 personnel.

Messages may be used to:

• facilitate communication;
• administer pairings;
• provide support;
• understand application progress;
• resolve disputes or issues;
• monitor program operations;
• enforce Platform policies; and
• maintain appropriate business records.

Messages may be preserved when an applicant is moved from one Owners Club member to another.

Do not use Platform messaging to transmit unnecessary sensitive or confidential information.

4. Internal Evaluations and Notes

Participating Owners Club members and NRE 2 personnel may create information concerning the application review process, including:

• review status;
• recommendations;
• pairing decisions;
• decline reasons;
• re-pairing recommendations;
• internal notes;
• application status history; and
• administrative audit records.

Some of this information is intended solely for internal use and is not displayed in the applicant portal.

For example, Owners Club members may maintain private notes visible only to staff, and the administrative system maintains an audit trail of application status changes.

5. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

• receive and evaluate applications;
• create applicant profiles;
• administer individual Immersion applications;
• determine applicant eligibility;
• pair applicants with Owners Club members;
• facilitate sponsorship review;
• administer Next Moves;
• facilitate messages;
• manage waitlists and event capacity;
• make sponsorship decisions;
• administer sponsored seats;
• confirm attendance;
• communicate application and event updates;
• administer Owners Club member participation;
• authenticate accounts;
• provide customer support;
• monitor Platform performance;
• investigate errors or misuse;
• generate internal reports;
• improve the program and Platform;
• maintain security;
• comply with legal obligations; and
• enforce our Terms and policies.

6. How We Disclose Personal Information

Participating Owners Club Members

Applicant information may be disclosed to Owners Club members who are paired with or otherwise authorized to review the applicant for a sponsored seat.

Candidate information is provided for sponsorship review purposes and is treated by the Platform as confidential.

Authorized NRE 2 Personnel

Authorized personnel may access applicant, member, pairing, messaging, status, and administrative information as necessary to operate the program.

Service Providers

We may disclose personal information to vendors and service providers that help us operate functions such as:

• hosting;
• databases;
• authentication;
• email delivery;
• file storage;
• cloud infrastructure;
• spreadsheets and internal reporting;
• security;
• technical monitoring; and
• other Platform operations.

These providers may process information on our behalf.

Legal and Safety Purposes

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to legal process, enforce our agreements, protect rights or safety, investigate suspected misconduct, or establish or defend legal claims.

Business Transactions

Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction, subject to applicable law.

7. Internal Data Systems and Reporting

Information collected through Owners Club Connect may be maintained in Platform databases and authorized internal business systems.

The Platform currently mirrors information into internal Google Sheets, including information concerning applications, applicants, application details, participating Owners Club members, pairings, and messages.

The Platform also generates periodic internal activity exports for operational analysis.

Access to these systems should be limited to personnel and service providers with an appropriate business need.

8. Cookies and Automatically Collected Information

We and service providers supporting the Platform may use cookies, local storage, logs, and similar technologies to:

• authenticate users;
• maintain sessions;
• secure the Platform;
• remember preferences;
• diagnose technical problems;
• understand Platform usage; and
• improve performance.

Depending on the technologies implemented on the Platform, technical information may include IP address, browser information, device information, pages viewed, timestamps, and interaction data.

NRE 2 should confirm all analytics, advertising pixels, and tracking technologies installed on the Platform before this policy is published.

9. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

NRE 2 does not intend to sell applicants' personal information in exchange for money.

California privacy law may define “sale” and “sharing” more broadly, including certain disclosures used for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If NRE 2 engages in activity that constitutes a sale or sharing under applicable law, we will provide any legally required notices and opt-out mechanisms.

10. Data Retention

Applicant profiles may be retained across Immersions so applicants can apply to future opportunities without recreating their profile.

An application for one Immersion remains separate from applications for other Immersions. The Platform is expressly designed around this distinction.

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• operate the sponsorship program;
• maintain applicant profiles;
• maintain application histories;
• document sponsorship decisions;
• administer events;
• maintain security;
• resolve disputes;
• comply with legal obligations;
• maintain appropriate business records; and
• protect our legal interests.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

However, no online system or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their account credentials.

12. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law and the nature of your request, you may request to:

• access certain personal information;
• correct inaccurate information;
• update account information;
• request deletion of certain information;
• obtain information about how your information is used or disclosed; or
• exercise other privacy rights available under applicable law.

Certain information may need to be retained where permitted or required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, recordkeeping, or other legitimate purposes.

13. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, California law may provide additional rights regarding your personal information.

Depending on which laws apply to NRE 2 and the information involved, these may include rights to:

• know what personal information is collected;
• request access to personal information;
• request deletion;
• request correction;
• receive information concerning categories of third parties to whom information is disclosed;
• opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information where applicable; and
• exercise applicable privacy rights without unlawful discrimination.

To the extent NRE 2 is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), we will process applicable California privacy requests in accordance with that law.

Categories of Personal Information

Depending on how you use Owners Club Connect, we may collect California-recognized categories including:

• Identifiers: name, email, phone number, IP address, account identifiers, and Owners Club member ID.
• Customer records information: contact and account information.
• Commercial or participation information: Immersion applications, sponsorship participation, attendance or seat information, and program activity.
• Internet or electronic activity: login, Platform usage, technical, and interaction information.
• Geolocation information: city and state you provide and potentially approximate location derived from technical information.
• Professional information: information regarding businesses, professional activities, projects, experience, or objectives submitted through applications.
• User-generated content: messages, files, links, application responses, and Next Move submissions.
• Inferences and evaluations: application statuses, recommendations, pairing decisions, internal notes, and other information generated as part of sponsorship review.

We use these categories for the purposes described throughout this Privacy Policy.

California Requests

California residents may submit applicable privacy requests to:

NRE 2, LLC

Email: ownersclub@squadupsummit.com

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by applicable law and subject to appropriate verification.

14. Do Not Track and Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some browsers provide traditional “Do Not Track” settings. Because there is no universally accepted standard for these signals, the Platform may not respond to traditional Do Not Track requests unless required by law.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize legally valid opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, we will do so.

15. Children

Owners Club Connect is intended only for individuals 18 years of age or older.

We do not knowingly permit minors to submit applications or participate in the Immersion Sponsorship Program.

If we learn that we collected personal information from a minor in violation of this policy, we may take reasonable steps to delete it.

16. Third-Party Links and Files

Users may submit or receive links to third-party websites or services through the Platform, including through Next Moves.

NRE 2 does not control the privacy or security practices of third-party websites.

Please review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information through them.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our Platform, program, technology, or legal obligations change.

When appropriate, we may notify users of material changes through the Platform, by email, or by another reasonable method.

The “Last Updated” date above indicates the latest revision.
