Winner's Circle
Privacy Policy
Winner's Circle respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.
Effective date: August 16, 2026
1. Information We Collect
You can browse this website without creating an account. We do not offer account registration, member logins, newsletter signup, donations, or payment processing on this site.
When you voluntarily submit a contact form, Winner's Circle collects the information you choose to provide. Depending on the pathway you select, this may include:
- First and last name
- Email address
- Telephone number, when provided
- City and state or region
- Organization name
- Organization type
- Professional role or title
- Estimated number of people served annually
- Contact topic or selected inquiry pathway
- The information you include in your message
The fields shown vary depending on whether you select the Participant, Partnership, or General inquiry pathway. Some fields are optional, and you are asked to share only what you are comfortable sharing.
Technical information
Like most websites, our hosting and security providers may automatically process limited technical information necessary to deliver and protect the website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, timestamps, and request logs. Winner's Circle does not deliberately store IP addresses or device fingerprints alongside contact submissions. Along with the details you provide, a submission record includes the page path the form was sent from and whether the internal notification email was delivered.
2. How We Use Information
Information submitted through this website may be used to:
- Respond to inquiries
- Connect prospective participants with appropriate information
- Evaluate and respond to partnership requests
- Communicate about Winner's Circle programs or services when requested
- Maintain records of communications
- Protect the website and prevent spam, abuse, or misuse
- Operate, troubleshoot, and improve the website
- Meet applicable legal obligations
We do not use this information for automated marketing campaigns, advertising, employment screening, or background checks.
Submitting a contact form does not enroll someone in a program, guarantee services, create a partnership, or constitute an emergency-support request.
Please do not use these forms for emergencies or to send sensitive legal, medical, or case information. Messages sent through this website are not confidential or privileged. If you need immediate help, contact local emergency services.
4. Contact Forms and Email Notifications
- Valid contact submissions are stored in the site's protected database.
- Authorized Winner's Circle personnel may receive an email notification so they can respond to your inquiry.
- We may use an email-delivery provider to notify authorized team members of a new inquiry. That provider processes the information necessary to deliver the message.
- Automated spam-prevention systems may evaluate submissions.
- Submissions identified as spam may be silently rejected or discarded without notice.
If you do not receive a response and believe your message was not delivered, you can email us directly at info@winnerscircleus.com.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, maintain appropriate business and program records, protect the website, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Retention may vary depending on the nature of the inquiry and applicable requirements. Information may be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer reasonably needed.
7. Data Security
Winner's Circle uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. Contact submissions are handled through a server-side workflow, and public website users are not permitted to browse stored submissions through the public API. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Choices and Privacy Requests
You may contact Winner's Circle to:
- Ask what personal information you previously submitted
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of information, subject to legal and operational retention requirements
- Ask questions about this policy or how your information is handled
We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide additional privacy rights. Winner's Circle will review verified requests in accordance with applicable requirements.
Send privacy requests to info@winnerscircleus.com.
9. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and Winner's Circle does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us so we can review and address the request.
10. External Links
This website links to third-party websites and media platforms, including news outlets and video platforms. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and Winner's Circle is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, services, or legal obligations change. When we make changes, we will revise the effective date displayed at the top of this page. Material changes may be communicated through the website or another appropriate method.
