Privacy Policy

Coverage

This privacy statement covers the site www.thestudentbar.com. Because we want to demonstrate our commitment to our users' privacy, we will disclose our information and privacy practices below.

About The Student Bar

The Student Bar is a social networking community for university students that helps people find friends and other people at their uni. To accomplish this, our users create their own profiles, which can be viewed by other users of the site.

Information Collected by The Student Bar

The Student Bar collects user-submitted account information such as name and email address to identify users and send notifications related to use of the site. The Student Bar also collects user-submitted profile information such as course, gender, location, etc.

The Student Bar also collects information that is not personally identifiable and not submitted directly by users, such as browser type and IP address. This information is gathered for all users to the site.

Use of Information Obtained by The Student Bar

Profile information, as well as name, email and photo, are displayed to people to support the function of the site. Except when inviting a friend to join the site, a user's name and email will never be given to anyone outside the site. Only limited information submitted to The Student Bar (name, university, course etc) will be available to users of the site who does not belong to that user's university.

We use server, IP and browser type for site administration. We also use information not directly submitted to The Student Bar by users to supplement users' profiles unless they specify that they do not want this done in their privacy settings.

Profile information may be provided to external parties in exceptional circumstances, for example where there are risks to third party systems.

Spam Policy

Email addresses will never be sold to anyone, and they will not be used for spam or any other purpose outside of the site itself.

Security

The Student Bar accounts are password-protected. This web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
