Preliminary Legal NoticeThis Privacy Policy is a functional outline for Campus Connect. It is subject to formal review and final approval by certified data protection legal counsel.

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 2026

1. Data Minimization & Protected Fields

We collect only the information essential to create a safe collegiate network: your institutional email, birth date (used solely to compute your displayed age; your raw date of birth is never shared with other students), display name, photos, bio, interests, and branch.

2. Symmetric College Hiding

We provide symmetric privacy: if you choose to hide your profile from a specific college (including your own), students from that college will never see you in Discovery, Likes, or Matches, and you will not see them.

3. Cryptographic Storage & Private Photos

All direct chat messages and incident evidence snapshots are encrypted using AES-256-GCM. Photos are stored in private cloud storage buckets with access restricted to short-lived signed URLs (1 hour lifetime).

4. Incident Reporting & Decrypted Evidence

When an incident report is filed, a snapshot of the last 20 shared conversation messages is cryptographically attached to the report for moderation review by authorized platform administrators only.

5. Data Portability & GDPR Export

In Settings, you may trigger a full JSON export of all your stored platform data at any time, including your decrypted conversations, swipes, and account timestamps.
