We never sell or share your information.

Who we are

DC Young Professionals (DCYP) is a free community for people early in their careers across DC, Maryland and Virginia. This policy explains what information we collect through dcyp.org and how we use it.

What we collect

When you join DCYP, we collect what you enter in the member intake form: your full name and email address; your preferred name, pronouns, LinkedIn and social media if you provide them; whether you're a current member and whether you're in the DCYP GroupMe; your job title, employer, industry and years of experience; your areas of interest; and any other organizations you belong to.

We don't use tracking cookies or advertising tools on this site.

How we use it

To send you invitations and updates about DCYP events.
To add you to the DCYP GroupMe, if you asked us to.
To understand who our members are and what they're interested in, so we can plan better events and programs.

How it's stored

Sign-ups are stored through Netlify, the service that hosts this website, and in a private Google Sheet that DCYP uses to manage membership. Only DCYP Board members and the Membership Engagement Committee can see them. They are never shared publicly.

How long we keep it

We keep your information while you're a member. If you ask us to remove you, we delete your information from our member records.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time. You can also email us to see the information we have about you, correct it, or have it deleted.

If we change this policy, we'll update it on this page and change the date at the top.
