Privacy Policy
40to60sCLT ("we," "us," "our") runs this website (40to60s.com) to help adults in their 40s, 50s, and 60s in the Charlotte area connect, meet up, and build community. This page explains what information we collect when you visit or use our site, why we collect it, and how we handle it.
LAST UPDATED OCTOBER 2026
The short version: We collect the info you give us, like your name and email when you sign up, RSVP, apply to join, or join as an Elite member, so we can run events, keep you in the loop, and let you connect with other members. If you apply to join, we use what you tell us only to review your application and, once you're a member, to run the group. Applying doesn't sign you up for emails. We don't sell your information, and we only share it where it's needed to run the site (like our payment processor for Elite dues). You can ask us to update or delete your info any time by emailing -
Information we collect
Information you give us directly
Membership application:
When you apply to join, we collect your first and last name, email address, ZIP code, a photo or a link to a social profile, why you'd like to join, and, if you choose to tell us, the name of the member who invited you. We also record that you confirmed you're 40 or older. We don't collect your date of birth. We look only at the public profile you link.
Contract and RSVP forms:
When you fill out a contact form or RSVP to an event, we collect what you enter — typically your name, email address, and any message or details relevant to that event. For some events, the RSVP form may also ask for your full legal name, an emergency contact's name and phone number, and your agreement to an event waiver. We use this only to run that event and to reach your emergency contact if there is a problem. We don't share it beyond the event hosts who need it, and we keep it separate from your member profile.
Membership sign-up (Elite Access):
If you join as an Elite member, we collect the information needed to set up and bill your membership. Payment card details are handled directly by our payment processor through Wix Payments — we don't see or store your full card number.
Member profile and community info:
If you create a member account or join our on-site community (Wix Groups / Members Area), we collect the profile information you choose to add — such as your name, photo, and an "About Me" introduction. Some of this may be visible to other members, particularly in the private member directory available to Elite members.
Mailing list:
If you sign up to hear about upcoming events and news, we collect your email address (and name, if you provide it) to send you updates.
Information collected automatically
Cookies - Analytics
Like most websites, ours runs on the Wix platform, which uses cookies and similar technology to make the site work, remember your preferences, and give us basic visitor analytics (like how many people visit and which pages are popular). We don't use this to identify you individually beyond what's needed to operate the site.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
-
Run and manage events, RSVPs, and the members' community area
-
Process Elite Access membership sign-ups and dues
-
Send you event updates, newsletters, or group announcements (only if you've opted in)
-
Respond to questions or messages sent through our contact form
-
Keep our site secure and working properly
-
Improve the site and how we run the group, based on how it's being used
-
Review membership applications and decide whether to approve them, including confirming that applicants are real people
-
Take photos and video at events and share them on this site, on social media, and in newsletters. If you'd rather not appear in them, tell the event host or email 40to60s@gmail.com and we'll do our best to leave you out going forward.
How we share your information
We don't sell or rent your personal information to anyone. We only share it in these situations:
-
Service providers: Companies that help us run the site and group — like Wix (our website and hosting platform) and our payment processor for Elite dues — receive the information necessary to provide those services.
-
Other members: If you join our Members Area or the private member directory, certain profile information (like your name, photo, and "About Me" info) may be visible to other logged-in members, as part of how the community feature works.
-
Legal reasons: If we're required to by law, or to protect the safety of our members or the group.
-
Application reviewers: Your application is seen only by the small team that reviews applications. Your ZIP code is used to point you to nearby meetups and isn't shown to other members
Your choices
-
Mailing list: You can unsubscribe from group emails at any time using the link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly.
-
Member profile: You can update or remove your profile information, including your "About Me" details, at any time through your member account.
-
Access, update, or delete your info: You can ask us to see what information we have about you, correct it, or delete it, by emailing 40to60s@gmail.com. We'll respond as quickly as we can.
Children's privacy
40to60sCLT is a community for adults and isn't directed at or intended for use by anyone under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from children.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information, and we rely in part on the security built into the Wix platform and our payment processor. That said, no website can guarantee perfect security, so please use good judgment about what you share with us.
Changes to this statement
If we make meaningful changes to how we collect or use your information, we'll update this page and change the "last updated" date above. If the changes are significant, we'll try to let members know directly.
