Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly to us, information generated as you use our Services, and information from third-party sources.

We use the information we collect to provide, improve, and personalize the CampusWorld experience:

• Service Delivery: To create and maintain your account, enable you to connect with other students, discover events, join communities, and access campus deals.
• Personalization: To tailor your feed, event recommendations, and community suggestions based on your interests, major, and activity.
• Communications: To send you notifications about events, community updates, direct messages, and important service announcements. You can control notification preferences in your settings.
• Safety and Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, spam, abuse, and other harmful activities on the platform.
• Analytics and Improvement: To understand how students use CampusWorld, identify issues, and improve features and performance.
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes.
• Research: To conduct internal research and analysis to improve our Services (using aggregated, anonymized data).

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• With Other Users: Information you include in your public profile, posts, and community activity is visible to other verified students on CampusWorld.
• Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party vendors who help us operate the platform (hosting, analytics, customer support). These providers are bound by contractual obligations to protect your data.
• Campus Partners: With your consent, we may share relevant information with your university or college for verification or campus-specific features.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets by EnterpriseT56, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of CampusWorld, EnterpriseT56, our users, or the public.
• Aggregated Data: We may share aggregated, anonymized data (e.g., "students on CampusWorld attend an average of 3 events per month") that cannot reasonably be used to identify individuals.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide you with our Services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

• Active Accounts: We retain your data for as long as your account is active.
• After Deletion: When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where we need to retain it for legal obligations or legitimate business purposes (such as fraud prevention).
• Backups: Deleted information may persist in backup copies for up to 90 days before being fully removed from all systems.
• Content: User-generated content (posts, comments) may be retained in anonymized form for platform integrity and moderation purposes.

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect it:

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). Sensitive data stored in our systems is encrypted at rest.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorized EnterpriseT56 employees and contractors who need it to perform their job functions.
• Authentication: We support strong password requirements and offer two-factor authentication.
• Regular Audits: We conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing of our systems.
• Incident Response: We have procedures in place to detect, respond to, and notify affected users in the event of a data breach, in accordance with applicable laws.

While we implement these safeguards, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use CampusWorld at your own risk.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: You can update or correct inaccurate information directly in your account settings, or by contacting us.
• Deletion: You can request deletion of your account and personal information through the app settings or by contacting us.
• Portability: You may request an export of your data in a machine-readable format.
• Opt-Out of Marketing: You can unsubscribe from promotional communications at any time by adjusting your notification settings or clicking "unsubscribe" in any marketing email.
• Location Data: You can withdraw consent for location tracking at any time through your device settings.
• Do Not Sell: We do not sell personal information. If this changes, we will provide an opt-out mechanism.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@campusworld.app. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

CampusWorld is intended for use by college and university students who are 17 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at privacy@campusworld.app.
