Member Contact Information and Privacy

Member contact information is used for GMC operations, membership services, and communications. We do not provide member contact lists to other businesses or organizations for independent marketing or solicitation.

Participation in GMC's online member directory is optional. Members determine which business and individual contact information, if any, is displayed publicly through their directory listings.

GMC may share limited information when necessary to administer programs, facilitate requested connections, or provide services consistent with the purpose for which the information was collected.

When you submit a contact form through our website, GMC uses the information provided to respond to your inquiry and direct your request to the appropriate staff member.

We do not sell information submitted through our contact forms or automatically distribute inquiries to member businesses.

If your inquiry would be better addressed by a member business or another organization, we may request your permission before sharing your contact information.

Email Communications

GMC sends newsletters, event announcements, member updates, and other communications to individuals who have subscribed or have an existing relationship with our organization.

We do not sell, rent, or distribute our email subscriber lists to other businesses or organizations for independent marketing purposes.

We do not provide attendee email addresses, telephone numbers, or other personal contact information to event hosts for independent marketing or solicitation without permission.

Third-Party Services

GMC uses third-party service providers to support website operations, membership management, event registration, email communications, payment processing, and website analytics.

These services may include GrowthZone, Constant Contact, Google Analytics, and other platforms used in GMC's operations.

Third-party providers may process information as necessary to deliver services on GMC's behalf, subject to their applicable privacy and security practices.

GMC does not authorize these service providers to sell our member contact lists for their own marketing purposes.

Information Security

GMC takes reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, or loss.

While we work to safeguard information entrusted to us, no electronic storage or transmission system can be guaranteed completely secure.
