How the Explorer Post 409 website and app handle member information.
Information we collect
- Account details: name, email address, rank, squad, and membership status.
- Application details you provide: date of birth, contact information, and emergency contact.
- Program records: attendance, hours, ride-along requests and reports, trainings, tasks, quiz results, and conduct records.
- Content you create: chat messages, posts, poll votes, uploaded files, and acknowledgements, with the time they were created or viewed.
How we use it
- To run the Explorer program: scheduling, attendance, communication, training, and member records.
- Information is visible only to the member and to Post leadership according to rank.
- We do not sell your information, show advertising, or use it to track you across other apps or websites.
Sharing
- Information is shared only with Post Advisors and leadership who need it to run the program, and with the service providers that host the website.
- We may disclose information if required by law.
Security and retention
- Data is sent over encrypted connections and protected by sign-in and rank-based access controls.
- Program records are kept for as long as needed to maintain accurate member history.
Your choices
- You can view your own records in the member area at any time.
- You can delete your account at any time in the member area under Account & Privacy. This permanently removes your login; your Post service records (hours, attendance and conduct records) are kept in the Post's permanent archive.
- You can report messages, posts or members, and block other members, using the ⋮ button next to any message or post. Advisors review every report.
- To ask for a correction, contact the Post at contact@explorerpost409.org.
