Privacy Statement

The Linux Club at Dalhousie University is committed to maintaining the privacy and protection of your personal data. This Privacy Statement outlines the nature of data we collect, the purpose for which it's used, and the security measures we have instituted.

When users register on our website, we collect specific personal information including, but not limited to, the full name and email address, program of study, university email, student ID. Any other relevant data fields that are collected will be transparently communicated during the registration process.

The primary objective behind our data collection is twofold. First, we aim to create a comprehensive members' list for the Linux Club. This aids in organizational and administrative processes. Second, with the user's express consent, we use the collected email addresses to send out notifications about upcoming events.

Our data storage protocols adhere to security standards. All collected information is securely stored in a database on a Virtual Private Server (VPS). Measures have been employed to shield against unauthorized access, modifications, or potential breaches. You can view details on how this is done by reviewing the code for this website here: Github.

It's essential to emphasize that under no circumstances will we sell, lease, rent, or share your personal information with third parties outside of the stated objectives.

Users have the autonomy to opt-out of our event-related communications at any time. To facilitate this, users can directly contact the current president (suchith.sridhar@dal.ca). Users also can request obtain a copy of all the data we hold or request all of the data to be deleted.

We retain the right to update this Privacy Statement periodically. Users are encouraged to review this page to stay informed about any changes and to understand how their data is being safeguarded.
