## Non-negotiable controls

- In this pathway, a Friend is a local participant or supporter. The description does not automatically confer Rotary membership, voting rights, office-holding rights or the status of Rotarian.
- Do not invite people until a real opportunity, named owner, safety controls, safeguarding decision, privacy notice and response route are ready.
- Collect only the minimum information needed for the next step. Do not create reusable sensitive profiles or hidden membership-potential scores.
- Membership information is optional and permission-based. It is not the success measure for the Friends experience.
- Replace every bracketed field and obtain the appropriate local approvals before use.
