Privacy Policy

Effective August 9, 2026

The Connector LLC ("The Connector," "we," "us") operates a campus community app for verified university students. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we do not do with it.

Information we collect

When you create an account and use The Connector, we collect:

• Name — shown to classmates so people can recognize you.
• Email address — a valid .edu address from a supported campus. This is how we confirm you are a student and how we send you account and security messages.
• Phone number — optional, and only shared with students you have connected with or who contact you through a board you posted on.
• Photos — your profile photo and any photos you add to a listing.
• Other content you create — listings, rentals, ride posts, class information, and anything else you submit.
• A user ID — an account identifier we generate so the app can associate your content with your account.

All of this is linked to your account. We use it to operate the app — nothing more.

What we do not collect

• We do not collect your device location. Campus proximity comes from the school on your account, not from GPS.
• We do not collect payment information. The Connector never processes payments between students.
• We do not access your contacts, photo library beyond images you choose to upload, browsing history, or health data.
• We do not use advertising identifiers.

Tracking

We do not track you. We do not link your information with third-party data for advertising, we do not share it with data brokers, and we do not serve advertising in the app.

How your information is shared

Other students see your name, your profile photo, and content you choose to post. On open boards such as Market and Rides, your name is displayed in shortened form.

Your phone number and other contact details are not public. They are shared only with students you connect with, or with a student who contacts you about something you posted.

We share information with service providers who help us operate the app — our hosting and database provider, our email delivery provider, and our error-monitoring provider. They process this information on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

We may disclose information if required by law, or where we believe it is necessary to protect someone's safety or to investigate fraud or a violation of our Terms.

Content review

Every listing, rental, and ride post is reviewed by our team before other students can see it. This means we read what you submit to a board before it publishes.

Security

Information is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access to student data is restricted at the database level, so students can only reach what they are permitted to see. Passwords are stored hashed — we never see them — and are checked against known breach databases so a compromised password cannot be reused here.

No system is perfect, and we do not claim ours is. If you believe your account has been accessed without your permission, contact us immediately.

How long we keep it

We keep your information while your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your profile and content within 30 days, except where we are required to keep records longer by law.

Your choices

• Access or correct your information from your card in the app, or by contacting us.
• Delete your account at any time from Settings, or by contacting us.
• Keep your phone number private by leaving it off your card.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over your information. Contact us and we will honor them.

Age

The Connector is for users 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we will delete it.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above, and for significant changes we will notify you in the app.
