Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 29, 2026

CampusWorld (“CampusWorld,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates a global academic platform that enables universities, educators, and students to build verified institutional communities, participate in mentorship, and access academic and career opportunities. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By creating an account or using CampusWorld, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

  • Account information: name, email address, password (hashed), and role (e.g., student, faculty, institution admin).
  • Profile information: title, expertise, bio, department, faculty verification details, and mentorship preferences you choose to provide.
  • Institutional data: institution name, domain, verification evidence, and your membership role within an institution.
  • Content you post: posts, comments, collections, community contributions, session notes, and feedback.
  • Usage and analytics: device, browser, interactions, search queries, and engagement events used to rank feeds and improve the platform.
  • Payment information: when you subscribe, payments are processed by our payment providers (Stripe and PayPal). We do not store full card numbers on our servers; we retain transaction references and billing status.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, operate, and secure your account and institutional communities.
  • To verify institutional identities and faculty status and to enforce tenant isolation.
  • To match mentors and mentees, schedule sessions, and deliver notifications and reminders.
  • To process subscriptions, calculate entitlements, and manage capacity limits.
  • To score educational content for quality, surface integrity signals, and moderate misuse.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only as follows:

  • Within your institution: institution administrators and moderators may view membership and engagement data scoped to their institution.
  • Mentorship: mentors and mentees see the information each party needs to schedule and conduct sessions.
  • Service providers: payment processors (Stripe, PayPal), hosting, email, and analytics vendors acting on our behalf under confidentiality obligations.
  • Legal compliance: when required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or property.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We use essential cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember your theme preference, and operate the app. Analytics help us understand aggregate usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; some features may not function if they are disabled.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Content and records related to integrity cases, payments, and audit logs may be retained longer to comply with legal and record-keeping obligations. You may request deletion of your account at any time.

6. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data, including encryption in transit, role-based access controls, and row-level security for tenant isolation. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or update your personal information.
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data.
  • Export a copy of your data.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Withdraw consent for optional processing.

8. Children's Privacy

CampusWorld is intended for students, educators, and institutions in higher education. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If you believe a minor has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. International Data Transfers

CampusWorld is a global platform, and your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the app or by email and update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
