5A. Member-Submitted Content & Event Media

Members may voluntarily submit photos, testimonials, feedback, and other content.

By submitting content, you represent that you have the necessary rights and permissions.

Social 6 may use submitted content to:

• Operate and improve the Platform

You retain ownership of your content.

For Social 6-hosted events, photography or video may occur. By attending, you acknowledge that media may be captured for marketing and community purposes. You may request not to appear by notifying us in advance or informing a host.

You may request removal of content you submitted by contacting hello@social6.events. Removal may not apply to materials already incorporated into published content or retained for legal or safety purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Social 6 service, comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, enforce our agreements, and maintain business and financial records.

Cancellation of a subscription does not automatically result in deletion of Personal Information. When a membership is canceled, access to the Platform is disabled and the account is archived. Certain information may be retained for legitimate business purposes, including:

• Payment and transaction records
• Tax and accounting compliance
• Fraud prevention and chargeback defense
• Enforcement of our Terms & Code of Conduct (including attendance and no-show history)

We retain Personal Information only as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes or as required by law.

You have the right to:

• Access / Portability — Request a copy of the Personal Information we hold.
