Privacy Policy

Who we are

CampusCrush is operated by Campus Crush, Inc. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and what control you have over your data.

Information you give us

• Account information: your school email address, password, first name, and date of birth.
• Profile information: photos, bio, major, school, and your gender and dating preferences.
• Content: messages you send to people you've matched with.
• Safety information: reports and blocks you submit.

Information we collect automatically

We collect a last-active timestamp so we can understand engagement, device push notification tokens if you enable notifications, and basic technical and log data needed to operate and secure the service. We also collect app usage events — such as when you start signing up, complete verification, add photos, or finish your profile — through the analytics and advertising providers listed below.

How we use your information

• To create and verify your account and confirm you're a student
• To show your profile to other students at your school and show you theirs
• To enable matching and messaging
• To send you notifications about matches and messages
• To enforce our Community Guidelines and keep people safe
• To understand how the app is used so we can improve it

What other users can see

Your profile photos, first name, bio, major, school, and the information you choose to include are visible to other verified students. Your email address, date of birth, and the identity of anyone you report are never shown to other users. Reports are confidential.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate the app, and when required by law or to protect someone's safety.

• Supabase — database, authentication, and photo storage
• Resend — sending account and verification emails
• Expo — app delivery, over-the-air updates, and push notifications
• Apple — App Store distribution
• PostHog — product analytics, so we can understand how the app is used
• Meta — advertising measurement, so we can see whether our ads lead to installs

We use Meta's software development kit to measure the performance of ads we run on Instagram and Facebook. This means limited app activity — such as installs and signup events, along with device identifiers — is shared with Meta. Meta may use this information for its own advertising purposes in accordance with its own policies. Under some state privacy laws this kind of sharing is treated as 'sharing for targeted advertising.' We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not share your profile content, photos, or messages with advertisers. If you would like us to stop this sharing for your account, email privacy@joincampuscrush.com and we will honor the request. On iOS you can also limit this by declining app tracking when prompted, or by turning off Allow Apps to Request to Track in your device settings.

Analytics and advertising

We use PostHog to understand how people move through the app so we can find and fix problems — for example, seeing how many people who start signing up finish creating a profile. We use Meta's tools to measure whether our advertising works. We do not use your photos, bio, or messages for advertising, and we do not allow advertisers to target you based on your profile content.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time from Settings inside the app. Deleting removes your profile, photos, messages, matches, likes, blocks, and login.

Important: safety reports filed about an account are retained after deletion so that people removed for serious violations cannot simply delete and re-register.

Data retention

We keep your information while your account is active. After deletion, information is removed except for the safety records described above and anything we are required to keep by law.

Security

Passwords are hashed and never stored in readable form. Data is encrypted in transit, and access is limited. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

You can edit or remove your profile information at any time in the app, turn push notifications off in iOS Settings, block or report any user, and delete your account entirely. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights to access or delete your data. Email privacy@joincampuscrush.com and we'll help.

Age requirement

CampusCrush is strictly for people 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn an account belongs to someone under 18, we remove it and delete the associated data.

Changes to this policy

We'll update this page and note the date. Material changes will be communicated in the app or by email.
