Highlander Hub Privacy Policy

To provide a comprehensive directory of UC Riverside events, our automated data pipeline indexes publicly available information. The sources we monitor include:

• Public Student Organization Channels: We parse promotional flyers and text descriptions posted publicly on Instagram stories and posts by registered student organizations. This aggregation includes event titles, schedules, locations, and hosting handle names.
• Official University Feeds: We mirror public listings from UCR’s official events directory (events.ucr.edu).
• HighlanderLink: We monitor public student organization events listed on UCR’s HighlanderLink platform.

This automated processing is conducted purely to consolidate public campus announcements. original flyer graphics are indexed and displayed to provide accurate visual context for student discoverability.

If you choose to submit an event manually through our submission form, we collect the details provided during that submission. This information consists of:

• Event Particulars: Event title, host organization, time, exact location, and text description.
• Media Assets: Digital flyers or promotional graphics uploaded to represent the event.
• Verification Info: A contact handle or email address, utilized solely by our moderation team to verify submission authenticity or clarify event specifics.

Manual submissions are voluntary. Submitter contact details are kept strictly internal and are never shared with external agencies, marketing networks, or commercial third parties.

All processed event data, submission details, and promotional media are hosted on secure database instances managed via Supabase. We implement standard access controls and operational safeguards to protect submission records from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure.

Because our platform functions as a public directory, any event detail you submit for listing (such as the event time, description, location, or promotional flyer) is intentionally made visible to the general public.

To maintain site reliability, identify broken links, and measure responsiveness, we collect high-level, aggregate site analytics:

• Anonymized Site Performance: We use Vercel Analytics to track generic page performance statistics. This is fully anonymized and does not track individual identities, personal browsing habits, or behavioral profiles across other sites.
• Functional State: We store minimal functional state (like query filters or session variables) locally to enable page routing and event search functionality during your visit.

We respect the control that organizers have over their promotional content. If you are an authorized officer or organizer of a listed event, you have the right to request:

• Immediate correction of typographical errors or changed event details.
• Complete removal of a specific event listing or flyer from our database.
• Opting your student organization’s public social feeds out of our automated aggregation system.

To initiate any data correction or opt-out request, please contact our student development team. We process requests within 24 hours:

• Direct Message: Instagram @hbi.ucr
• Developer Channel: HBI Discord Server
