Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (hereinafter the “Terms”) govern access to and use of the Marcus Vance Network platform (hereinafter “MVN”, “the Service” or “the Platform”), accessible via marcusvance.com. By accessing the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety.
1. Acceptance of the Terms
Use of the Platform requires full and unconditional acceptance of these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you must stop using the Service immediately. Registering on, or merely browsing, the Platform constitutes acceptance of the Terms.
We reserve the right to amend the Terms at any time. Amendments take effect upon publication on the Platform. By continuing to use the Service after an amendment, you accept the new Terms. You will be notified of any material change by in-app and push notification.
MVN is open to anyone worldwide, subject to meeting the following eligibility requirements:
- Legal age: you must have reached the minimum legal age required in your country of residence to use digital services. For reference: 13 years in the United States (COPPA), 16 years in the European Union (GDPR), 18 years in some countries. If in doubt, refer to the law of your country.
- Legal capacity: you must have full legal capacity to contract. Persons under guardianship, conservatorship, or any other judicial protection measure limiting their contractual capacity may not use MVN without the assistance or consent of their legal representative.
- Informed consent: by creating an account, you certify on your honor that you meet these requirements. MVN reserves the right to suspend any account whose eligibility is in doubt.
Important — protect your credentials and your security answer
When you create an account you choose a password and a security question and answer. For security and privacy reasons, MVN does not send any password-reset or verification e-mails: the answer to your security question is the only way to recover access if you forget your password.
You are solely responsible for keeping your password and your security answer in a safe place, for keeping them secret, and for never sharing them with anyone. If you lose both your password and your security answer, MVN may be unable to restore access to your account or its contents. All activity carried out through your account is presumed to be yours. You must notify us without delay, via the contact form, of any unauthorized use.
2. Description of the Service
Marcus Vance Network is an online learning platform combining:
- Educational content: structured courses, assessment quizzes, audio podcasts, blog articles and supplementary resources, covering areas such as entrepreneurship, personal finance, professional skills and personal development.
- Distributed P2P network: a peer-to-peer content distribution infrastructure allowing members to contribute to network performance and earn MVN credits in exchange.
- Community space: discussion forums, topic groups, and tools for connecting members.
- MVN credit system: virtual rewards earned through network contribution, content completion and community participation.
The Service is provided “as is” and may be subject to maintenance, updates, or functional changes. We strive to ensure maximum availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access.
3. Participation in the P2P network
Participation in the P2P network is entirely optional and subject to your explicit consent. The network node runs exclusively within the Marcus Vance Network Android application — Android is the only platform that runs a node and earns MVN credits. By enabling the network node feature, you accept the following specific conditions:
Technical conditions
- Always-on operation: the P2P node runs continuously in the background on your Android device, regardless of the connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) and the power state of the device. You can disable it at any time from your settings.
- Anti-Sybil limit: the network allows a maximum of 5 active nodes simultaneously per user account, in order to guarantee the integrity and decentralization of the network.
- Background activity: when enabled, the node may run in the background to distribute encrypted content fragments to other network members.
Distributed tasks
Your node performs distributed tasks for the network. These may include relaying end-to-end encrypted fragments of the MVN content library and running sandboxed compute / inference tasksfor the network. In all cases the tasks run in an isolated sandbox: your node neither stores nor has access to other users’ decrypted content, cannot access your personal files, and no personal data of other members is transmitted through your device.
Deactivation
You can disable your participation in the P2P network at any time from your account settings (“P2P Network” section), without penalty or loss of credits already earned. Deactivation takes effect immediately.
Bandwidth
The maximum amount of bandwidth used by the node is configurable in the application settings. The default value is set to 20% of the detected available bandwidth. MVN cannot be held liable for any additional costs related to your Internet connection.
4. MVN Credits
The MVN credit system is a virtual reward internal to the Platform. The following points apply on a mandatory basis:
- No monetary value: MVN credits have no monetary value. They are not currency, are not financial instruments, and may not be sold or exchanged for real money on any platform.
- Internal use only: MVN credits are exclusively redeemable for services and benefits internal to MVN (access to premium content, advanced features, status badges, early access to new courses).
- Non-transferable: MVN credits are tied to your personal account and cannot be transferred to another user.
- Non-refundable: used credits are not eligible for any refund, whether they were earned or purchased.
- Expiration: credits that have been inactive (neither used nor earned) for 12 consecutive months expire. You will be notified 30 days before any expiration.
- Changes to the schedule: MVN reserves the right to modify the award rates and the terms of use of credits. Credits already earned are maintained when the schedule changes.
- Account deletion: closing the account results in the permanent loss of all associated MVN credits.
Gems are a separate, optional virtual item purchased with real money (via our payment processor, Stripe) that instantly unlock content without waiting to earn credits. Unlike credits, Gems are bought rather than earned. Unused Gems are refundable in accordance with our Refund Policy; once a Gem has been spent to unlock content, it is consumed and that unlock is final and non-refundable. Gems have no cash value outside the Platform, are non-transferable, and cannot be exchanged for money.
5. Prohibited conduct
The following conduct is strictly prohibited and may result in the immediate suspension or termination of your account, as well as legal action where applicable:
Attacks on the network
- Any attempt to manipulate the MVN credit system (bots, automated scripts, fake nodes)
- Injection of unauthorized content into the P2P network
- Denial-of-service attacks (DoS/DDoS) or intentional overloading of the network
- Attempting to decrypt data fragments belonging to other users
- Impersonation of legitimate nodes
Prohibited content & community conduct
The following content and behaviour are strictly forbidden anywhere on the Platform (comments, messages, photos, profiles, community spaces). This list is not exhaustive and is detailed in our Community Guidelines, which form an integral part of these Terms:
- Child sexual abuse material or any sexualisation of minors — zero tolerance, reported to the competent authorities
- Pornographic or sexually explicit content
- Sale, promotion or exchange of weapons of any kind
- Sale, promotion or exchange of drugs or controlled substances
- Counterfeit money, carding, stolen payment data or any financial fraud

- Political campaigning or debate, and religious content or proselytising, in community spaces — off-topic and removed by moderation (the community is focused on business and learning)
- Violence, threats, spam, malware or malicious links
- Infringement of copyright or intellectual property rights
- Creating multiple accounts to circumvent a suspension
Reported content is temporarily removed and investigated (including by automated review of text and images). If a violation is confirmed, the consequences set out in section 8 apply.
Security breaches
- Attempting unauthorized access to MVN systems (hacking, exploiting vulnerabilities)
- Automated extraction or scraping of content without written authorization
- Reverse engineering of MVN’s proprietary code
6. Intellectual property
All content on the Platform (courses, podcasts, text, graphics, logos, interface, source code) is the exclusive property of Marcus Vance Network or its licensors, and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Any reproduction, distribution or commercial use without written authorization is prohibited.
By publishing content on the Platform (comments, community posts), you grant MVN a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, reproduce and distribute that content as part of the Service. You retain ownership of your content and may delete it at any time.
7. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Marcus Vance Network shall not be held liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from the use of, or inability to use, the Service, including in particular:
- Loss of data or MVN credits following a technical failure
- Temporary service interruptions for maintenance
- Errors or inaccuracies in the educational content
- Additional Internet connection costs related to use of the P2P node
- Damage caused by third parties abusively using the network
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. MVN nonetheless undertakes to use its best efforts to ensure the quality and continuity of the Service.
MVN’s total liability to you, whatever the cause, may not exceed the amount you paid to MVN during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the damage, or USD 50 if you have made no payment.
8. Account termination and suspension
Termination by the user
You may close your account at any time from the settings (“Account” > “Delete my account”). Termination results in the permanent deletion of your personal data within 30 days, the loss of your MVN credits, and the revocation of your access to premium content.
Suspension or termination by MVN
MVN reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice depending on the seriousness of the situation, in the event of:
- Violation of these Terms
- Proven fraudulent or abusive behavior
- Non-payment of due premium subscriptions
- Request from a competent legal authority
Consequences of a confirmed serious violation (in particular the prohibited content listed in section 5 and in our Community Guidelines): your account is suspended and permanently deleted, all subscriptions linked to the account are terminated, and no refund is issued — including for any subscription whose billing period is in progress or any one-time purchase. Any MVN credits are forfeited (they have no cash value). You are notified of the decision and may appeal within 14 days via our legal contact form.
In the event of an unjustified suspension, you may contact our team via the contact form to challenge the decision.
9. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law principles. If you reside in the European Union, you also benefit from the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence which cannot be contractually waived.
In the event of a dispute relating to the execution or interpretation of these Terms, the parties agree to seek an amicable resolution within 30 days. Failing agreement, the dispute may be submitted to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), or to the competent courts of Wyoming, United States, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence apply.
EU consumers may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr before initiating legal proceedings.
10. Miscellaneous provisions
If any provision of these Terms is declared void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain fully in force. MVN’s failure to exercise a right provided for under the Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right.

Acceptable Use & P2P Participation
Effective as of Jun 22, 2026 · 22:10 BST (London time) — Marcus Vance Network
Running a node shares some of your device's spare resources with the network in exchange for MVN credits. This policy explains exactly what is shared, what it costs you, what it does not do, and how to stop at any time.
1. Scope
This Acceptable Use & P2P Participation Policy governs your use of the Marcus Vance Network platform (the "Platform"), operated by Lucky North Star LLC, and in particular your participation in the distributed peer-to-peer ("P2P") network through a node running on your device. It supplements our Terms of Service and End-User License Agreement.
Participation in the P2P network is optional and requires your explicit, informed consent. You can opt out at any time.
2. What your device contributes
You consent to your device contributing the following
When you enable a node, you give your explicit consent for the Platform to use a portion of your device's internet bandwidth, processing power (CPU), storage, and to run in the background on an always-on basis to relay and process encrypted network tasks.
Contribution only occurs while the node is enabled. You choose to participate, and you can withdraw that consent at any time (see section 7). Without your consent, no resources are contributed.
3. Costs you bear
By running a node, you acknowledge that contribution consumes resources you pay for:
Electricity consumed by keeping the device on and processing tasks.
Internet bandwidth and data — on metered or mobile-data connections this may incur charges from your provider. By default the node is intended to run on Wi-Fi and while charging.
Device wear from sustained background operation.
The node limits bandwidth use to a configurable share of your available connection (default: 20%). Lucky North Star LLC is not responsible for any electricity, data, connectivity, or hardware costs arising from your participation. You are responsible for monitoring your own usage and adjusting or disabling the node accordingly.
4. What transits your node
The work your node performs consists of encrypted content fragments belonging to the MVN library and sandboxed compute / inference tasks for the network. Your node does not store, and cannot access, the decrypted content of other users, runs every task in an isolated sandbox that cannot reach your personal files, and no personal data of other members is transmitted through your device.
Because this traffic is encrypted MVN network data only, you are not the author or controller of the fragments or tasks routed through your node and are not liable for them, provided you use the node as intended and do not attempt to interfere with it.
5. Anti-Sybil and fair use
To protect the integrity and decentralization of the network, a maximum of 5 active nodes per user account is permitted. You must not operate bots, scripts, emulators, falsified telemetry, or fake nodes, nor otherwise attempt to manipulate the credit system or the network's scoring.
6. Prohibited uses
When using the Platform or the P2P network, you must not:
- use the network to transmit, store, or facilitate any illegal content or illegal traffic;
- attempt to decrypt, intercept, or access data belonging to other users;
- conduct denial-of-service attacks, overload the network, or inject unauthorized content;
- reverse engineer, tamper with, or circumvent the node software or its limits (see the [EULA](/eula));
- scrape, harvest, or extract Platform content without written authorization;
- impersonate other nodes or users, or use the network to harm, defraud, or harass others.
7. Opt-out and deactivation
You may disable your participation in the P2P network at any time from your account settings ("P2P Network" section). Deactivation takes effect immediately, without penalty and without loss of credits already earned. You may re-enable participation later.
8. Suspension for violations
We may suspend or terminate your access to the P2P network, your account, or both, with or without notice depending on severity, if you breach this policy or use the network in a way that threatens its integrity, security, or other users.
9. No warranty and limitation of liability
The P2P network is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Lucky North Star LLC shall not be liable for damages arising from your participation, including connection costs, device impact, or service interruptions, except where such limitation is prohibited by mandatory law.
10. Governing law
This policy is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without prejudice to the mandatory protections of your country of residence. Questions: legal contact form.

This telemetry is used to route work appropriately and to enforce fair-use and security rules. Its processing is described in our Privacy Policy. By using the Software you consent to this collection.

Nothing excludes liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law, including your non-waivable consumer rights.
10. Termination
This license terminates automatically if you breach it. On termination you must stop using and uninstall the Software. Sections on ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law survive termination.
11. Governing law
This EULA is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without prejudice to the mandatory protections of your country of residence. Questions: legal contact form.

4. No-refund policy
No-refund policy — please read carefully
Pursuant to FTC regulations on digital goods and applicable US consumer protection law, the right of withdrawal does not apply to digital content whose delivery has begun. All purchases of courses, coaching sessions, or digital resources are final and non-refundable once access is granted.
By completing your purchase, you expressly acknowledge that you waive any applicable right of withdrawal or cooling-off period, and consent to the immediate performance of the contract (access granted upon payment confirmation). EU consumers retain rights under Directive 2011/83/EU where mandatory.
Single exception: A refund may be considered on an exceptional and discretionary basis solely in the event of a major technical failure on the Platform rendering the content completely inaccessible, reported by the Buyer and not resolved within 72 hours of receipt of the report. In such cases, the Buyer must contact support at Support form with documentation of the inability to access the content.
This policy applies to all digital products: individual courses, coaching sessions, downloadable resources, MVN credits, and subscriptions whose billing period has begun.
5. Delivery and content access
The products and services offered on the Platform are exclusively digital content and dematerialized services.

6. Subscriptions
Automatic renewal: Platform subscriptions are taken out on a monthly or annual basis and renew automatically at the end of each period, unless the Buyer cancels beforehand.
Cancellation: The Buyer may cancel their subscription at any time from the "My subscription" section of their account, at least 24 hours before the renewal date. If cancellation occurs after this deadline, the renewal will proceed and cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period.

The operator shall not be liable for: (i) any service interruption due to external causes (network outage, force majeure), (ii) any inappropriate use of content by the Buyer, (iii) any indirect or consequential damages arising from use of the Platform.

Refund Policy
Effective as of Jun 22, 2026 · 22:10 BST (London time) — Marcus Vance Network
We sell digital content and services that are made available immediately. This policy explains when refunds apply, and how EU/EEA consumers expressly waive their 14-day right of withdrawal in exchange for immediate access. For questions, contact us at Support form.
1. Scope
This Refund Policy applies to all purchases made on the Marcus Vance Network platform (hereinafter "the Platform"), operated by Lucky North Star LLC. It supplements our Terms of Sale and forms an integral part of them.
The Platform sells exclusively digital content and dematerialized services: online courses, downloadable resources, 1-on-1 and AI coaching sessions, subscriptions, and MVN credits. No physical goods are shipped.
This policy is written to comply with both applicable US consumer protection law and, for buyers residing in the European Union or the European Economic Area (EU/EEA), Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights.
2. EU/EEA right of withdrawal (14 days)
If you are a consumer residing in the EU/EEA, EU law normally grants you a 14-day right of withdrawal from the day a contract is concluded, allowing you to cancel a purchase without giving any reason (Articles 9 to 16 of Directive 2011/83/EU).
This statutory right exists for distance contracts. However, EU law itself provides that this right does not apply, or is lost, in specific cases set out in Article 16 of the Directive — in particular for digital content and for services that have begun with your prior express consent. The next section explains how this applies on the Platform.
3. Express waiver of the right of withdrawal
Please read carefully before purchasing
By accepting these terms and completing your purchase, you expressly request immediate performance of the contract and expressly acknowledge that you thereby lose your 14-day right of withdrawal.
Digital content (courses, downloadable resources, MVN credits): in accordance with Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU, the right of withdrawal does not apply to the supply of digital content not on a tangible medium where performance has begun with your prior express consent and your acknowledgment that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. Access is granted immediately upon payment confirmation.
Services (1-on-1 coaching and AI coaching): in accordance with Article 16(a) of Directive 2011/83/EU, once a service has been fully performed — performance having begun with your prior express consent and acknowledgment that you lose your right of withdrawal once the contract is fully performed — the right of withdrawal no longer applies. For a coaching service partially performed at the moment you would withdraw, you remain liable for the proportionate amount of the service already provided.
This express consent and acknowledgment are collected at checkout, by ticking the dedicated box and confirming your order. Without this consent, immediate access cannot be granted.
4. No-refund principle
Subject to the mandatory rights described in this policy and to the exception below, all purchases of courses, coaching sessions, digital resources, MVN credits, and subscriptions whose billing period has begun are final and non-refundable once access has been granted or performance has begun.
MVN credits, in particular, have no monetary value, are non-transferable and non-refundable, whether they were earned through the network or acquired otherwise.
Gems (an optional virtual item purchased with real money to unlock content instantly) are treated differently from credits: Gems that you have purchased but not yet spent are refundable on request. Once a Gem is spent to unlock content, that unlock is final and the spent Gem is non-refundable.
5. Exceptional refunds
A refund or credit may be granted on an exceptional and discretionary basis in the following cases:
Major technical failure: if a technical failure attributable to the Platform makes purchased content completely inaccessible, is reported by the buyer, and is not resolved within 72 hours of the report.
Duplicate or erroneous charge: if you are charged twice for the same order, or charged in error, the incorrect charge will be refunded in full.
Unauthorized transaction: if a payment was made without your authorization, contact us immediately; confirmed unauthorized charges are refunded and the account secured.
To request an exceptional refund, contact our support form within 14 days of the charge, including your order reference and a description of the issue. We aim to respond within 5 business days.
6. Subscriptions
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled beforehand. You can cancel at any time from the "My subscription" section of your account.
Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not refund the current period, which remains active until its end. Amounts already billed for a started period are non-refundable, subject to the mandatory rights described above.
Termination for violation: if your account is suspended or terminated for a breach of our Terms or Community Guidelines — including prohibited content such as hate speech, or the sale/promotion of weapons, drugs, pornographic or child sexual abuse material — all linked subscriptions are terminated and no refund is issued for any subscription period in progress, and any MVN credits are forfeited (they have no cash value).
If a subscription price changes, you are notified by in-app and push notification at least 30 days before the renewal date and may cancel before the new price takes effect.
7. Mandatory consumer rights preserved
Nothing in this policy limits any non-waivable statutory right you may have as a consumer under the mandatory law of your country of residence — including, where applicable, remedies for content or services that are defective, not as described, or not of satisfactory quality.
Where mandatory local law grants you a refund right that cannot be contractually excluded, that right prevails over the no-refund principle set out above.
8. How to contact us
For any refund request or question about this policy, contact us via our support form or, for legal matters, our legal contact form.
EU consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
This policy is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.

Last updated: Jun 22, 2026 · 22:10 BST (London time) — Version 1.1
Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to all services offered by Lucky North Star LLC (hereinafter “MVN”, “we” or “the Data Controller”) via the marcusvance.com website and any associated application. It describes, in a comprehensive manner, the personal data we collect, the purposes and legal bases of each processing activity, the retention periods, the recipients of your data, transfers outside the European Union, as well as all the rights you have.
1. Identity of the Data Controller
2. Data Protection Officer (DPO)
Marcus Vance Network has designated a Privacy Officer responsible for ensuring compliance with the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), CCPA/CPRA, and applicable US federal and state privacy laws. You may contact the Privacy Officer for any question regarding your personal data or to exercise your rights:
Privacy Officer / DPO
E-mail: Privacy form
Mailing address: Lucky North Star LLC, Attn: Privacy Officer, 1309 Coffeen Ave, Sheridan, WY 82801-5777, USA
Guaranteed response time: 30 calendar days from receipt of your request (which may be extended by a further 2 months for complex requests, with notice).
3. Data collected, legal bases and purposes
We apply the principle of data minimization (Art. 5(1)(c) GDPR): only the data strictly necessary for each purpose is collected. The table below details the processing activities, their legal basis and their retention period.
| Category | Data | Legal basis | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account | E-mail, first name, last name (optional), username, hashed password (bcrypt), security question and hashed answer | Performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) | Account creation and management, authentication, password recovery (via security question) |
| Session | JWT token, connection date/time, device type, OS | Legitimate interest — security (Art. 6(1)(f)) | Account security, detection of unauthorized access |
| Payment | Stripe identifier (token), last 4 digits of card, subscription status — no full card number stored by MVN | Performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) + Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) | Payment processing, subscription management, tax compliance |
| Progress | Courses viewed, quiz results, podcast listening time, MVN credits accumulated | Performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) | Progress tracking, credit calculation, content resume |
| P2P network | nodeId (local pseudonym), aggregated contribution statistics, reliability score, partial IP address (2 octets) | Performance of the contract + Consent for the nodeId (Art. 6(1)(a)/(b)) | P2P routing optimization, load balancing, credit system |
| Communications | In-app messages, device push token (Expo) | Performance of the contract (transactional) / Consent (push, Art. 6(1)(a)) | Transactional notifications delivered in-app and via push only (account, learning, credits, support) — MVN does not send transactional e-mails |
| Identity verification (optional) | Selfie photo, voluntarily submitted to obtain verified “Elite” status (adult members 18+ only) | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) | Manual human review to confirm a real person — no automated facial-recognition or biometric processing. The image is retained only for the time needed to complete the verification, then deleted. |
| Security logs | Full IP address, timestamp, action performed, response code | Legitimate interest — security (Art. 6(1)(f)) | Detection and prevention of abuse, forensics in case of incident |
| First-party analytics | Pages visited, session duration, browser type (anonymized, without IP) | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) | Service improvement, audience measurement (self-hosted solution) |
Apart from the optional identity-verification selfie described above — reviewed manually by a team member, never by automated facial-recognition or biometric technology, and deleted after the decision — we do not collect any sensitive data within the meaning of Article 9 of the GDPR (health data, political opinions, religious beliefs, biometric data, etc.), any precise geolocation data, nor any content of private communications.
Your data is never used for advertising targeting, commercial profiling, or to train third-party artificial intelligence models.
4. Retention periods
In accordance with the storage limitation principle (Art. 5(1)(e) GDPR), your data is kept only for as long as strictly necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
| Data type | Active retention period | Archiving / deletion |
|---|---|---|
| Account data (email, name, username) | Lifetime of the active account | Deleted within 30 days following account closure |
| Hashed password (bcrypt) | Lifetime of the active account | Deleted immediately upon account closure |
| JWT session tokens | Session duration (max. 30 days) | Automatic expiration or immediate revocation on logout |
| Payment data (Stripe token) | Lifetime of the account + 10 years | 7 years per US tax record-keeping requirements (IRS guidelines) |
| Progress data (courses, quizzes, podcasts) | Lifetime of the active account | Deleted within 30 days following closure |
| Aggregated and anonymized P2P statistics | 36 months | Automatically deleted after 36 months (non-re-identifiable data) |
| Security logs (IP address, actions) | 12 months | Automatically deleted after 12 months, unless legal proceedings are ongoing |
| Anonymized analytics data | 13 months | Auto-deleted after 13 months (industry best practice) |
| Consents (cookies, marketing) | 5 years | Retained as proof of compliance, then deleted |
If your account is inactive for 24 consecutive months, you will receive an in-app and push notification. Without a response within 30 days, your account will be archived and then deleted in accordance with the periods set out above.
5. Sharing with third parties and processors
We never sell your personal data to third parties, and we do not rent or trade it for commercial purposes. Your data may be shared only in the following cases, with strict contractual safeguards:
Hostinger International Ltd. — Database & application hosting
Role: Processor (Art. 28 GDPR). Hosts the backend API and the relational database (user accounts, progress, MVN credits).
Server location: Germany (Frankfurt), European Union. Company headquarters: Lithuania (European Union).
Safeguards: signed DPA (Data Processing Agreement), ISO/IEC 27001 certified. Privacy policy: hostinger.com/privacy-policy
Stripe Inc. — Payment processing
Role: Independent data controller for the payment part; MVN processor for subscription management. Stripe receives payment data directly from your browser — MVN stores no card number.
Location: United States — transfer governed by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
Safeguards: PCI-DSS Level 1 certified, DPA signed with MVN. Privacy policy: stripe.com/privacy
Vercel Inc. — Web hosting
Role: Processor. Hosts the Next.js web interface (marcusvance.com). Vercel may temporarily process IP addresses in its content delivery network (CDN) logs.
Headquarters: 340 Pine Street Suite 701, San Francisco, CA 94104, United States. Transfer governed by SCCs.
Safeguards: signed DPA, SOC 2 Type II. Privacy policy: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy
Expo (650 Industries, Inc.) — Push notification delivery
Role: Processor. Relays in-app/transactional notifications to your device via the Expo Push Service and the underlying platform gateways (Apple APNs, Google FCM). Receives only your device push token and the notification content — no account credentials. MVN does not send transactional e-mails; notifications are delivered in-app and via push.
Location: United States — transfer governed by SCCs. You can disable push notifications at any time from your device or in-app settings.
Privacy policy: expo.dev/privacy
Competent authorities — Legal obligation
Your data may be disclosed to competent judicial or administrative authorities when required by a legal provision, a court decision or an order from a regulatory authority. We undertake to inform you to the extent that applicable law does not prohibit us from doing so.
6. Data transfers outside the European Union
Some of our processors are established in the United States (Vercel, Stripe, Expo). These transfers to third countries that do not have an adequacy decision from the European Commission are governed by the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission on 4 June 2021 (Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914), in accordance with Article 46(2)(c) of the GDPR.
The backend API and main database (Hostinger) are hosted in Germany (Frankfurt), within the European Union — that data does not leave the EU, so no third-country transfer is involved for it. This limits transatlantic transfers to only the technical metadata strictly necessary for the operation of the Vercel and Stripe services.
You may obtain a copy of the applicable SCCs by contacting us at Privacy form.
7. Your rights (GDPR — Regulation (EU) 2016/679)
If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the following rights over your personal data. All requests must be addressed to Privacy form with an identity document allowing us to verify your identity. Guaranteed response time: 30 calendar days.

Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
Have inaccurate data concerning you corrected without undue delay, and have incomplete data completed.
Right to erasure — “right to be forgotten” (Art. 17 GDPR)
Request the deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, when you withdraw your consent, or when you object. This right does not apply where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation (e.g., accounting data to be kept for 10 years).
Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
Receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (JSON or CSV), and transmit it to another data controller. This right applies to data provided on the basis of consent or a contract.
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
Object at any time to the processing of your data based on legitimate interest (in particular for personalization and analytics). You can disable push and in-app notifications at any time from your in-app notification settings.
Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
Request the temporary suspension of the processing of your data — for example while its accuracy or the lawfulness of the processing is being verified. During the restriction period, we retain your data without using it.
Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
Withdraw at any time a consent previously given (optional cookies, newsletter) without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before that withdrawal. You can withdraw your consent to cookies via the consent banner or from your profile.
Right to define post-mortem instructions
Define instructions regarding the storage, deletion, and communication of your personal data after your death.
8. Supervisory Authorities
If you believe that the processing of your personal data does not comply with applicable regulations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority:
US — Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
For US residents with privacy or consumer protection complaints.
Website: www.ftc.gov
EU residents — Local Data Protection Authority
EU/EEA residents may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in their country of residence (e.g., CNIL for France, BfDI for Germany, ICO for the UK).
EU DPA list: edpb.europa.eu
We invite you, before filing any complaint, to contact us at Privacy form so we can address your request promptly.
9. Cookies and trackers
MVN uses cookies and similar technologies. For comprehensive information on the cookies placed, their purposes and how to manage them, see our cookie policy. You can change your preferences at any time via the consent banner accessible at the bottom of each page.
10. Data security
We implement the following technical and organizational measures, in accordance with Article 32 of the GDPR:
- Encryption in transit: TLS 1.2 minimum on all communications between your browser and our servers.
- Encryption at rest: database storage encrypted by our hosting provider (Hostinger) on its German (Frankfurt, EU) infrastructure.
- Password hashing: bcrypt algorithm with an adaptive cost factor (cost factor ≥ 12).
- JWT tokens: limited lifetime, automatic rotation, immediate revocation possible.
- Restricted access: principle of least privilege — only employees who need to access the data have access to it.
- Security audits: regular security reviews of the code and infrastructure configurations.
- CSRF protection: anti-CSRF token on all state-changing requests.
In the event of a personal data breach likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we undertake to notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident, in accordance with Article 34 of the GDPR.
11. Protection of minors
The Marcus Vance Network Service is intended for an adult audience and for persons who have reached the applicable digital age of majority in their country of residence:
- European Union: minimum age 16 years for consent to data processing (Art. 8 GDPR — some Member States have adopted 13, 14 or 15 years; MVN applies the most protective limit, namely 16 years).
- United States (COPPA): minimum age 13 years. No service is intended for children under 13 years. If we discover that a child under 13 has created an account, we proceed with the immediate deletion of the data.
- Other countries: the user declares that they have reached the legal age to consent to digital services in their country of residence. If in doubt, the minimum age of 16 years applies.
To report an account belonging to a minor: Legal form
12. Specific rights for California residents (CCPA / CPRA)
If you reside in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), grants you additional rights:
Right to know

Right to deletion
Request the deletion of your personal data, subject to legal exceptions (retention obligations, security, exercise of legal rights).
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
MVN does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. The categories of personal data collected by MVN are: identifiers (e-mail, username), account data, browsing data on MVN, purchase data (via Stripe). None of these categories is sold.
Right to non-discrimination
You will not suffer any discrimination for having exercised your CCPA rights. MVN will not deny services, will not charge different prices, and will not change the quality of the service in response to the exercise of your rights.
Right to correction
Have inaccurate personal data concerning you corrected.
Right to limit the use of sensitive data
MVN does not collect any sensitive data within the meaning of the CPRA (social security numbers, full financial data, health data, biometric data, precise geolocation, private communications, information about race/origin, religion, sexual orientation).

Coaching Disclaimer
Effective as of Jun 21, 2026 — Marcus Vance Network
This disclaimer applies to all coaching delivered on the Platform — both 1-on-1 sessions with a human coach and sessions delivered through an AI assistant. Please read it before booking or using any coaching.
1. Educational and informational purpose only
Coaching offered on the Marcus Vance Network platform (hereinafter "the Platform"), operated by Lucky North Star LLC — whether 1-on-1 sessions with a human coach or sessions delivered through an AI coaching assistant — is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.
It is intended to share knowledge, frameworks, and perspectives. It is not a substitute for individualized professional advice, and must not be relied upon as such.
2. Not professional advice
Nothing said, written, or generated during a coaching session — human or AI — constitutes financial, investment, legal, tax, accounting, medical, psychological, or any other regulated professional advice.
The content of the channel #investing and any course or session discussing finance, markets, entrepreneurship, or money is educational and reflects general information or personal opinion. It is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial product, nor a personalized financial plan.
For decisions with financial, legal, tax, or health consequences, you should consult a duly qualified and licensed professional in your jurisdiction before acting.
3. No professional relationship
Participating in coaching does not create any client–professional relationship between you and Lucky North Star LLC, Marcus Vance, or any coach or AI system — in particular no attorney–client, financial-advisory, fiduciary, doctor–patient, or therapist–client relationship.
No duty of care, suitability obligation, or fiduciary duty arises from the use of the coaching services.
4. AI coaching — specific notice
AI coaching is automated and may be wrong
AI coaching responses are generated automatically by an artificial-intelligence system, without systematic human review. AI can produce information that is inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or fabricated. Always verify important information independently before relying on it.
The AI coaching assistant is a tool, not a licensed professional. It does not understand your full personal situation, cannot provide regulated advice, and its output should be treated as general information only.
Not for emergencies: the AI assistant must never be used for medical, legal, financial, or personal emergencies, or for crisis situations. If you are in danger or experiencing a health or mental-health emergency, contact your local emergency services or a qualified professional immediately.
Conversations with the AI assistant may be processed and stored to operate and improve the service, as described in our Privacy Policy. Do not share sensitive personal data you would not want processed.
5. No guarantee of results
Outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including your own effort, circumstances, market conditions, and decisions. We do not guarantee any specific result, income, performance, or outcome from the use of coaching, courses, or any content on the Platform.
Any examples, case studies, or testimonials describe individual experiences and are not a promise or guarantee that you will achieve the same or similar results.
6. Your responsibility
You are solely responsible for your own decisions and actions, and for evaluating the accuracy, completeness, and suitability of any information provided through coaching — human or AI — before relying on it.
By using the coaching services, you agree to do so at your own discretion and risk.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Lucky North Star LLC, Marcus Vance, and any coach shall not be liable for any loss or damage — including financial loss, lost profits, or indirect or consequential damages — arising from your use of, or reliance on, the coaching services or any AI-generated output.
This disclaimer supplements, and is read together with, our Terms of Service and Terms of Sale. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law, including your non-waivable consumer rights.
8. Contact and governing law
For any question regarding this disclaimer, contact us via our legal contact form.
This disclaimer is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.

Disclaimer
Effective as of Jun 21, 2026 — Marcus Vance Network
Please read this disclaimer carefully. It explains the nature of the "Marcus Vance" persona, the educational purpose of all content, and the limits of our liability.
1. "Marcus Vance" is a virtual, AI-generated persona
"Marcus Vance" is a fictional, AI-generated persona
"Marcus Vance" is a virtual brand persona created and operated by Lucky North Star LLC. The name, character, image, voice, and statements attributed to "Marcus Vance" may be created, generated, or augmented using artificial intelligence and do not represent a real, identified natural person acting in a personal capacity.
References to "Marcus Vance" throughout the Platform — including in coaching, courses, podcasts, and communications — refer to this persona, not to a private individual. Where coaching or content is delivered, it may be powered by AI; see our Coaching Disclaimer for details.
The persona, together with all associated names, logos, and brand elements, is the property of Lucky North Star LLC and is protected by applicable intellectual-property law.
2. No resemblance to real persons
The persona is a work of creative and technological authorship. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or to actual events, is purely coincidental and unintentional.
The persona is not intended to depict, identify, impersonate, endorse, or represent any real, identifiable individual, nor to use anyone's name, image, voice, or likeness. If you believe the persona inadvertently resembles a real person, contact us via our legal contact form and we will review the matter in good faith.
3. Nature of content, examples, and testimonials
Content published under the "Marcus Vance" persona — including articles, courses, podcasts, coaching, and social posts — is provided for general educational and informational purposes only and may be generated, scripted, or augmented by AI.
Any examples, scenarios, figures, or testimonials shown on the Platform may be illustrative or composite and are used to demonstrate concepts. They are not a promise, guarantee, or representation of any specific outcome. See also our Coaching Disclaimer and Terms of Sale.
4. Not professional advice
Nothing published or generated under the persona constitutes financial, investment, legal, tax, medical, psychological, or other regulated professional advice, and no professional or fiduciary relationship is created. Always consult a qualified, licensed professional in your jurisdiction before making decisions with financial, legal, tax, or health consequences.
5. Assumption of risk and no reliance
You access and use the Platform and its content at your own discretion and risk. You are solely responsible for verifying any information before relying on it, and for your own decisions and their consequences.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Platform and all content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
6. Limitation of liability and dispute resolution
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Lucky North Star LLC and its operators, contributors, and licensors shall not be liable for any loss or damage — direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential — arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Platform, the persona, or any AI-generated output.
By using the Platform, you agree to the dispute-resolution terms set out in our Terms of Service, including binding individual arbitration and, where enforceable, a waiver of class actions and jury trial. Disputes are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States.
7. Rights that cannot be waived
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, the limitation of certain liabilities, or the waiver of certain consumer rights. Nothing in this disclaimer removes any right you have that cannot be waived under the mandatory law of your country of residence. Where such mandatory rights apply, the limitations above apply only to the extent permitted by that law.
