Your data, your call.
Friday Conversations is a small, locally owned community — not a big-tech social network. Here’s exactly what we collect, what we’d never do, and the tools that quietly run everything behind the scenes.
Our promises to you
Only what you choose to share
Your profile shows exactly what you decide to make visible — nothing more. Hide any field anytime.
Never sold, ever
We don’t sell, rent, or trade your information. Your data is used only to run this community.
Notifications are optional
Email and push notifications are opt-in and can be switched off whenever you like.
Networking is your choice
Appear in the member directory only if you want to — turn networking visibility off in one tap.
Locally owned & operated
Run by its own members in Spokane — not part of Facebook, LinkedIn, or any third-party social network.
You’re in control
The only things we ever do with your information are send you helpful notifications and help you network with other members — and both are entirely optional.
Email & push notifications
Event reminders and “we’re live” alerts only go out if you opt in. Security messages (like a password reset you requested) are the only exception.

Member networking
Your profile appears in the member directory only when you choose to. Switch it off and you stay completely private.
