PRIVACY POLICY
Chapter Nexus LLC ("Chapter Nexus," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of the individuals and organizations that use our services.
This Privacy Policy describes how Chapter Nexus collects, uses, processes, retains, and discloses personal information in connection with the Chapter Nexus website located at https://www.chapternexus.com, the Chapter Nexus platform, public recruitment forms, and related services, features, applications, and communications (collectively, the "Service").
This Privacy Policy also explains the relationship between Chapter Nexus and participating fraternity chapters, sorority chapters, student organizations, clubs, associations, and similar organizations that use the Service.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.
By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by Chapter Nexus in connection with the Service.
It applies to information concerning, among others:
- registered Chapter Nexus users;
- members of participating organizations, including members who do not have Chapter Nexus accounts;
- chapter officers and administrators;
- recruitment prospects;
- individuals who submit public recruitment forms;
- advisors and other authorized organizational users;
- external contacts entered into organizational resources; and
- individuals identified or discussed in messages, minutes, notes, documents, tasks, recruitment records, or other content submitted through the Service.
This Privacy Policy does not govern the independent privacy practices of participating chapters, colleges, universities, national organizations, third-party websites, or other entities that are not controlled by Chapter Nexus.
2. Our Relationship With Participating Chapters
Chapter Nexus provides software that organizations use to administer their internal operations.
Because the Service contains both information controlled by participating chapters and information independently processed by Chapter Nexus, responsibility for personal information depends on the context in which the information is processed.
2.1 Chapter-Controlled Information
Participating chapters generally determine the purposes for which they collect and use information concerning:
- chapter members;
- recruitment prospects;
- officers;
- attendance;
- organizational meetings;
- communications;
- recruitment evaluations;
- financial operations;
- projects and tasks;
- chapter documents;
- service and philanthropy participation;
- leadership transitions; and
- other chapter operations.
As between Chapter Nexus and the participating chapter, the chapter generally controls this information and instructs Chapter Nexus to process it through the Service.
Chapter Nexus processes such information for purposes including hosting, organizing, displaying, securing, transmitting, backing up, and otherwise providing the functionality requested by the chapter.
2.2 Chapter Nexus-Controlled Information
Chapter Nexus separately determines how certain information is processed for purposes related to operation of the Service, including:
- account administration;
- authentication;
- security;
- fraud and abuse prevention;
- technical operations;
- platform administration;
- customer support;
- legal compliance; and
- service reliability and improvement.
2.3 Requests Concerning Chapter-Controlled Information
If your request relates primarily to information maintained by a participating chapter, such as membership information, recruitment notes, chapter minutes, attendance records, or other organizational records, we may direct you to the applicable chapter administrator.
We may assist the chapter with such requests where appropriate and technically feasible.
3. Personal Information We Collect
The information Chapter Nexus processes depends on how you interact with the Service and what information a participating chapter chooses to maintain.
The categories below describe the principal types of information currently processed by Chapter Nexus.

8. Free-Text and User-Supplied Information
Many areas of the Service allow users to enter free-text information or upload documents.
As a result, users may voluntarily enter personal information that Chapter Nexus cannot fully predict from predefined database fields.
For example, personal information may appear in:
- messages;
- meeting minutes;
- notes;
- comments;
- recruitment evaluations;
- documents;
- task descriptions;
- project descriptions;
- transition records;

The infrastructure providers used to operate Chapter Nexus may also process technical information such as request logs, internet protocol addresses, browser or user-agent information, network information, timestamps, and error records as part of providing their services.
10. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Chapter Nexus currently uses cookies and similar technologies primarily for authentication, security, and operation of the Service.
10.1 Session Cookies
Session cookies help maintain an authenticated browser session and enable users to remain signed in while using the Service.
10.2 Session Expiration
Authenticated sessions expire after thirty (30) minutes of inactivity and no later than twelve (12) hours after sign-in. Chapter Nexus does not use persistent remember-me authentication cookies.
10.3 Security and CSRF Cookies
Chapter Nexus uses security tokens, including CSRF-related cookies or tokens, to help protect authenticated requests against unauthorized or forged submissions.
10.4 Cloudflare Turnstile
Chapter Nexus uses Cloudflare Turnstile on certain public forms to help distinguish legitimate users from automated or abusive traffic.
Turnstile may process browser, request, and behavioral signals required to provide its security function.
Chapter Nexus does not use Turnstile to obtain the contents of recruitment-form responses for advertising purposes.
10.5 Advertising and Analytics Cookies
Chapter Nexus does not currently use third-party advertising networks or third-party behavioral advertising cookies.
Chapter Nexus also does not currently use Google Analytics or another third-party product-analytics platform in the Service.
If our practices materially change, we will update this Privacy Policy as appropriate.

13. How Personal Information Is Disclosed
13.1 Participating Chapters
Information entered into a participating chapter's Organization Account may be made available to authorized users of that chapter according to their roles, permissions, module access, and other access controls.
13.2 Chapter Administrators
Chapter administrators may have broader access to organizational information for purposes such as account administration, membership management, access control, data export, and chapter operations.
13.3 Authorized Module Users
Information within particular areas of the Service may be available only to users with permission to access the applicable module or function.
13.4 Conversation Participants
Private messages or conversations may be accessible to the users included in the applicable conversation, subject to system administration and legal or security requirements.
13.5 Recruitment Users
Recruitment information may be accessible to authorized users who have permission to access the participating chapter's recruitment functionality.

- operate the Service;
- maintain infrastructure;
- troubleshoot issues;
- provide support;
- investigate security concerns;
- comply with legal obligations; or

Access should be limited to individuals with a legitimate operational need.
13.7 Service Providers
We disclose information to vendors that process information on our behalf or assist us in operating the Service.
Current principal service providers include those described in Section 14.
13.8 Legal and Safety Disclosures
We may disclose information if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

- prevent fraud or abuse;
- protect the rights or safety of another person; or
- establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
13.9 Corporate Transactions
Information may be disclosed or transferred as part of a proposed or completed:
- merger;
- acquisition;
- financing;
- reorganization;
- bankruptcy;
- sale of company assets; or
- similar corporate transaction.
Where required by law, we will provide appropriate notice concerning material changes to the treatment of personal information.
13.10 Customer-Directed Disclosure
We may disclose or transmit information where an authorized Customer instructs us to do so, including through exports or future integrations.
14. Service Providers
Chapter Nexus currently relies on third parties to provide certain infrastructure and security services.
14.1 Render
Render is used for functions including:
- hosting the Chapter Nexus application;
- running application services;
- supporting persistent application storage;
- storing uploaded documents and generated previews where configured; and
- supporting infrastructure and application operations.
Render may process technical or infrastructure information in connection with providing these services.
14.2 Supabase
Supabase provides managed PostgreSQL infrastructure used by Chapter Nexus.
The database may contain information including:
- account records;
- member information;
- roles and permissions;
- chapter records;
- recruitment information;
- messages;
- financial information;
- service information; and
- other structured application data.
14.3 Cloudflare
Chapter Nexus uses Cloudflare Turnstile to protect certain public forms from automated or abusive submissions.
Cloudflare may process browser and request signals necessary to provide this security service.
14.4 Document Processing
Chapter Nexus currently uses document-processing software within the application environment, including software capable of reading supported documents and generating previews.
The current implementation does not rely on a separate cloud document-conversion provider to which Chapter Nexus intentionally sends documents solely for conversion.
14.5 Changes to Providers
We may replace, add, or remove service providers as the Service evolves.
When a change materially affects our privacy practices, we will update this Privacy Policy or otherwise provide notice as appropriate.
15. Organizational Visibility and Data Exports
Chapter Nexus is a multi-organization service.
Information is generally scoped to the applicable participating chapter.
Access within a chapter depends on factors including:
- chapter membership;
- account status;
- assigned role;
- officer position;
- module permissions;
- permission overrides; and
- conversation membership.
Authorized chapter users may have the ability to export certain categories of information.
Current export functionality may include:
- chapter rosters;
- positions;
- tasks;
- projects;
- financial records; and
- recruitment records.
Once information has been exported, downloaded, copied, or otherwise removed from Chapter Nexus by an authorized user, the participating organization and recipient are responsible for protecting the resulting copies.
Chapter Nexus cannot control independent use or redistribution of information after an authorized user downloads or exports it from the Service.
16. Sale of Personal Information and Advertising
16.1 No Sale of Personal Information
Chapter Nexus does not sell personal information.
16.2 No Targeted Advertising
Chapter Nexus does not disclose personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or use Customer Content for targeted advertising.
16.3 No Third-Party Advertising Networks
Chapter Nexus does not currently integrate third-party advertising networks into the Service.
16.4 Service Providers
Our use of hosting, infrastructure, security, and other service providers to operate the Service is not intended to constitute a sale of personal information.
17. Artificial Intelligence
Chapter Nexus does not currently send Customer Content to an external artificial-intelligence provider as part of an active production AI feature.
Chapter Nexus does not use Customer Content to train general-purpose artificial-intelligence models for Chapter Nexus's independent use or for a third party's independent use.
If Chapter Nexus later introduces a feature that uses a third-party AI provider to process Customer Content, we will provide appropriate disclosure and update this Privacy Policy or applicable product terms before materially implementing that processing.
18. Payment Information
Chapter Nexus does not currently operate an integrated online subscription-billing system or payment processor within the Service.
Accordingly, this Privacy Policy does not presently describe active processing of payment-card information by a Chapter Nexus payment processor.
If online billing is introduced, this Privacy Policy will be updated to describe the applicable payment provider and relevant billing-data practices before or in connection with deployment of that functionality.
19. Information We Ask Users Not to Provide
Chapter Nexus is not designed to serve as a repository for unnecessary highly sensitive information.
Unless a specific feature expressly requests such information and Chapter Nexus has authorized that use, users should not upload or store:
- Social Security numbers;
- passport numbers;
- driver's-license numbers;
- copies of government-issued identification;
- third-party account passwords;
- online banking credentials;
- complete payment-card numbers;
- payment-card security codes;
- private cryptographic keys;
- unnecessary medical records;
- biometric identifiers intended to uniquely identify a person; or
- other highly sensitive information not necessary for ordinary chapter administration.
If such information is submitted, we may remove or restrict access to it where reasonably appropriate.
20. Data Retention
We retain information for different periods depending on the type of information, why it is needed, chapter instructions, technical requirements, legal obligations, and legitimate business needs.
20.1 Active Organization Accounts
Chapter content generally remains available while the participating organization maintains an active account unless an authorized user deletes the applicable record or a different retention rule applies.
20.2 Organizational Records Created by Former Users
When a member, officer, or administrator leaves an organization, graduates, changes office, or loses access to the Service, organizational records they previously created may remain part of the participating chapter's records.
For example, we do not automatically remove valid meeting minutes, project records, transition materials, or other organizational records solely because the individual who created them no longer has an account.
20.3 Recruitment Information
Participating chapters may archive or delete recruitment records.
Chapter Nexus's intended standard for inactive recruitment-prospect information is generally to avoid retaining such information indefinitely where no continuing organizational, legal, or operational purpose exists.
Our target retention period for inactive recruitment-prospect information is approximately twenty-four (24) months after the last relevant activity, subject to:
- chapter instructions;
- implementation of applicable retention controls;
- legal requirements;
- security requirements; and
- legitimate organizational recordkeeping needs.
20.4 Authentication Information
Certain authentication and security information may be retained for comparatively short periods where it is needed to prevent abuse, investigate suspicious activity, or operate security controls.
Authenticated sessions expire after thirty (30) minutes of inactivity and no later than twelve (12) hours after sign-in. Persistent remember-me authentication is not used.
Signup invitations generally expire after approximately twenty-four (24) hours, although expiration of an invitation does not necessarily mean the underlying database record is immediately erased.
20.5 Archived Records
Archiving a record generally means that the record is hidden or moved out of an active workflow.
Archiving does not necessarily mean deletion.
20.6 Deleted Documents
When an authorized user deletes a document through supported functionality, the active document and associated generated previews may be removed from active application storage.
Residual copies may remain temporarily in backups, infrastructure systems, logs, or disaster-recovery systems until those systems are overwritten or expire in the ordinary course.
20.7 Closed Organization Accounts
When an Organization Account is closed, Chapter Nexus may maintain the organization's information for a reasonable transition period to support export, account closure, dispute resolution, security, and other legitimate purposes.
Our intended standard transition period is generally sixty (60) to ninety (90) days, although the actual period may depend on the circumstances, contractual terms, technical capabilities, legal requirements, and the reason for termination.
Following applicable transition and retention periods, information may be deleted, anonymized, or rendered inaccessible from active systems.
20.8 Backups and Infrastructure Records
Deletion from an active system does not necessarily result in immediate deletion from every backup, log, disaster-recovery copy, or restricted technical system.
Residual copies may remain until overwritten, rotated, or deleted according to the ordinary retention practices of Chapter Nexus and its service providers.
20.9 Legal Holds and Other Required Retention
We may retain information longer where reasonably necessary to:
- comply with law;
- respond to legal process;
- investigate fraud;
- maintain security;
- enforce agreements;
- resolve disputes;
- preserve evidence; or
- establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
21. Data Security
Chapter Nexus uses administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.
Depending on the applicable system, these measures currently include practices such as:
- password hashing;
- authentication controls;
- session security;
- CSRF protection;
- chapter-based data scoping;
- role- and module-based access controls;
- production database access restrictions;
- PostgreSQL Row Level Security;
- encrypted database connections using TLS;
- file-type and upload-size validation;
- document-related audit events;
- login and signup throttling capabilities; and
- environment-based management of certain application secrets.
However, no internet-connected service, database, network, or storage environment can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never defeat our safeguards or improperly access information.
Users are responsible for protecting their credentials and for promptly notifying Chapter Nexus if they suspect unauthorized account access.
22. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights concerning certain personal information.
These rights may include the right to request:
- confirmation of whether we process personal information about you;
- access to personal information;
- correction of inaccurate personal information;
- deletion of certain personal information;
- a portable copy of certain information;
- information concerning categories of information collected or disclosed;
- restriction of certain processing;
- withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent; or
- other rights provided by applicable law.
Not every right applies in every circumstance.
Certain exceptions may apply where information must be retained for legal, security, organizational-recordkeeping, contractual, or other permitted purposes.
23. How to Submit a Privacy Request
Privacy requests may be submitted to:
privacy@chapternexus.com
Please provide enough information for us to understand the request and reasonably identify the information involved.
We may verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
Verification may include:
- confirming control of the email address associated with an account;
- requiring authentication through the Service;
- requesting information reasonably necessary to match the requester with our records; or
- confirming information through an authorized chapter administrator when the request concerns chapter-controlled records.
We will not request unnecessary sensitive information solely for verification.
We will respond within the period required by applicable law.
24. Requests Involving Chapter-Controlled Information
If a privacy request concerns information controlled primarily by a participating chapter, we may:
- direct the requester to the applicable chapter administrator;
- forward the request to the participating chapter where appropriate;
- request instructions from the participating chapter; or
- assist the participating chapter in responding where reasonably feasible.
For example, requests concerning:
- chapter membership;
- recruitment evaluations;
- attendance;
- internal chapter messages;
- meeting minutes;
- officer history; or
- other organizational records
may need to be addressed by the chapter that created or controls those records.
25. Appeals
Where applicable law provides a right to appeal the denial of a privacy request, you may request reconsideration by replying to the decision or contacting:
privacy@chapternexus.com
Please identify the request being appealed and explain why you believe the decision should be reconsidered.
We will process legally required appeals in accordance with applicable law.
26. Authorized Agents
Where applicable law allows you to use an authorized agent to submit a privacy request, we may require reasonable evidence that:
- the agent is authorized to act on your behalf; and
- your identity has been appropriately verified.
We may deny an agent request if we cannot reasonably verify the agent's authority, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
27. Children and Minors
27.1 Full Chapter Nexus Accounts
Full Chapter Nexus accounts are intended for individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years old.
27.2 Recruitment Prospects
Certain recruitment forms may permit individuals who are at least sixteen (16) years old to submit information without creating a full Chapter Nexus account.
Participating organizations are responsible for complying with laws and policies applicable to their recruitment activities.
27.3 Children Under Thirteen
The Service is not directed to children under thirteen (13).
Chapter Nexus does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under thirteen through use of the Service.
If we obtain actual knowledge that personal information has been collected from a child under thirteen in circumstances requiring removal or parental authorization under applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to address the information.
If you believe a child under thirteen has provided personal information through Chapter Nexus, contact:
privacy@chapternexus.com
28. Educational Information and FERPA
Chapter Nexus may contain information relating to students, such as:
- academic major;
- expected graduation date;
- chapter attendance;
- organizational participation; or
- other information entered by users.
The presence of student-related information does not itself mean Chapter Nexus is acting as a school official or maintaining official university education records.
Unless Chapter Nexus enters into a separate written agreement with an educational institution, the Service is not currently intended to receive official education records from a college or university under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA") school-official exception.
Participating organizations should not instruct a college or university to disclose official education records directly to Chapter Nexus unless appropriate contractual arrangements have been established.
Chapter Nexus does not represent that it is "FERPA certified."
29. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers allow users to send a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signal.
There is no universally accepted technical standard governing all responses to DNT signals.
Chapter Nexus does not use third-party advertising networks or engage in cross-site behavioral advertising, so a DNT signal does not currently cause Chapter Nexus to provide a materially different advertising experience.
Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, including an applicable Global Privacy Control signal, Chapter Nexus will process that signal as required by law.
Because Chapter Nexus does not currently sell personal information or use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, there may be no applicable sale or advertising activity from which to opt out.
30. Precise Location, Camera, Microphone, and Contacts
Chapter Nexus does not currently use the Service to automatically collect:
- precise device geolocation;
- camera recordings;
- microphone recordings; or
- device contact lists.
Users may voluntarily enter locations, hometowns, addresses, contact names, or similar information into chapter records where the Service provides fields for such information.
31. Processing in the United States
Chapter Nexus is presently intended for users and participating organizations located in the United States.
Chapter Nexus and its service providers may process information in the United States and in other locations where applicable infrastructure providers lawfully operate their services.
If you access Chapter Nexus from outside the United States, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States.
Chapter Nexus is not presently marketed as a service designed to satisfy privacy-law requirements applicable to organizations operating exclusively outside the United States.
32. Third-Party Links and Services
The Service may contain:
- hyperlinks;
- external resources;
- third-party websites;
- embedded services; or
- customer-directed integrations.
Chapter Nexus does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.
If you access an independent third-party service, that third party's privacy policy and terms govern its independent processing of your information.
Users should review those policies before providing personal information to third-party services.
33. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as:
- the Service evolves;
- our technology changes;
- vendors change;
- new features are introduced;
- applicable laws change; or
- our privacy practices otherwise change.
When we make material changes, we may provide notice by:
- posting the revised Privacy Policy;
- updating the "Last Updated" date;
- sending an email;
- displaying an in-product notification;
- requesting acknowledgment or acceptance where appropriate; or
- using another reasonable method.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain consent before applying a materially different privacy practice to information already collected.
