1. Our Commitment to Privacy

Welcome to The Purpose Club (“we,” “our,” or “us”).
Your trust is at the core of our mission. We help teens and families explore purpose, goals, and values through guided programs, workshops, and coaching. Because this work is deeply personal, we handle all personal data with the highest standards of privacy, security, and transparency.

We are committed to:

• Collecting only the information needed to deliver and improve our services

• Giving you clear choices and control over your data

• Using strong security measures to protect your information

• Never selling or sharing your data with advertisers

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over your information.

If the user is a minor, the parent or guardian provides consent and account setup details. We may collect limited parent/guardian contact data to manage consent and communication.

​

4. Sensitive Information & Assessments

The Purpose Club helps users reflect on values, interests, strengths, and goals. We recognize this data is highly personal.

• Assessment responses (e.g., VIA, HEXACO, or custom “Purpose” modules) are stored securely and used only to personalize your experience.

• We never use these responses for advertising, resell them, or share them with colleges, employers, or other organizations without your explicit consent.

• You (or your parent/guardian, for minors) may request deletion of assessment results at any time.
