Privacy notice
Version of 9 November 2026. This notice covers registration of interest before launch.
Who we are
MutualChapter ("we", "us") runs mutualchapter.com and decides how the details you give us are used. For any privacy question or request, email privacy@mutualchapter.com.
What we collect
- Your first name, email address, country and city.
- What describes your work (for example employed, retired or postgraduate student) and your highest qualification.
- Your LinkedIn profile link.
- Your confirmation that you are 21 or older, and whether you want updates before launch.
- A referral code, if someone invited you.
- Technical details needed to keep the form safe: a one-way scrambled version of your IP address, the country your connection comes from, and a bot check by Cloudflare Turnstile.
We do not ask for your gender, orientation, religion, health or any other sensitive details at this stage.
Why we use it
- To record your interest and invite you to verify when private verification opens.
- To plan our launch, for example by seeing how many people registered in each city.
- To send occasional updates before launch, only if you ticked that box.
- To stop spam, fake sign-ups and abuse.
We rely on your consent, and on steps you asked us to take before you become a member. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your details or share them for advertising. Cloudflare hosts the website and stores the registration database for us, and runs the bot check. Cloudflare operates worldwide, so your details may be processed outside your country, under contractual safeguards. We will name any further service providers in this notice before we use them.
How long we keep it
We keep your registration until you become a verified member or ask us to delete it. If you have not started verification within 12 months of our launch, we delete your registration.
Your rights
You can ask us to show you, correct or delete your details, or to stop using them, by emailing privacy@mutualchapter.com. We reply within 30 days. You may also complain to your data protection authority. In South Africa that is the Information Regulator.
Security
The site uses encrypted connections only. Access to registration data is limited to people who need it to run MutualChapter.
Age
MutualChapter is only for people aged 21 or older. If we learn that someone younger has registered, we delete their details.
Changes
Before verification opens, we will publish an updated notice that covers identity, degree and career checks. We will tell registered members about any material change.
