Introduction
ORGANIZECAMPUS ("we," "our," or "us") is a platform built for students and student organizations at Texas A&M University.

Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a hosted PostgreSQL platform with enterprise-grade security. All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS encryption. We implement row-level security (RLS) policies to ensure users can only access data they are authorized to see.
File attachments (images, documents) shared in chat are stored in secure cloud storage with access controls.
While we take commercially reasonable measures to protect your data, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
- Within organizations you join: Your name (or chat nickname), messages, and application information are visible to members and administrators of organizations you belong to.
- Service providers: We use third-party services (Supabase for database/auth, Apple Push Notification service for notifications) that process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or legal process.
Push Notifications
We send push notifications to keep you informed about new messages in your organizations. You can control notifications at two levels:
- In-app preferences: Choose to receive notifications for all messages or only when you are mentioned.
- Device settings:You can disable push notifications entirely through your device's system settings at any time.
Your Rights & Choices
- Access & update: You can view and update your profile information, chat nickname, and notification preferences at any time through the Settings screen.
- Delete your account: You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at mannbellani1@tamu.edu. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.
- Leave organizations:You can leave any organization at any time, which removes your membership and access to that organization's channels.
- Data portability: You may request a copy of your personal data by contacting us.
Children's Privacy
The Service is intended for use by college students at Texas A&M University and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Chat messages are retained to maintain conversation history for organization members. If you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
