Privacy Policy
At Campustry, trust is our chemistry. We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about what we collect, how we use it, and who we share it with as you connect with your verified campus community.
1. Introduction
Debug Dragons LLC, doing business as Campustry ("we," "our," or "us"), provides a verified social platform for university students. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at campustry.com or use our mobile application (collectively, the "Service"). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Service.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- •Account Registration Data: Full name, email address, password (stored in hashed form), college affiliation, and religion/faith community selection. Your university email address is used for verification and authentication and is never displayed publicly.
- •Profile Information: Data you voluntarily provide for your profile, such as your display name, bio, avatar photo, and college details.
- •Dating Profile Data: If you opt into our dating features, we collect additional information including your first name, gender, date of birth, height, major, year of study, graduation year, Greek life affiliation, hobbies, interests, Spotify top artists, Instagram handle, custom prompts, and photos. This data is only collected when you actively create a dating profile and is used solely for matching purposes.
- •Location Data: If you grant permission, we collect approximate location data to show dating profiles near your campus. Your exact location is never shared with other users. You may revoke location permission at any time through your device settings.
- •Communications: We store messages you send in community group chats. These messages are stored on our servers to provide message history and enable moderation. Direct Messages (DMs) are end-to-end encrypted using client-side cryptographic libraries. This means the content of your private conversations is encrypted on your device before transmission, and we cannot read or access the plaintext content of your DMs.
- •Device Information: We collect push notification tokens, device type, and operating system version to deliver push notifications and ensure compatibility.
- •Usage Data: We collect information about your interactions with the Service, including communities joined, message activity, and feature usage patterns, to improve the Service and ensure safety.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Verify your student status and college affiliation during registration.
- Create and maintain your account, profile, and community memberships.
- Enable user-to-user communications in communities and direct messages.
- Provide dating match suggestions based on your preferences and profile data.
- Send push notifications about messages, matches, and important account updates.
- Enforce our Terms of Service, investigate reports, and protect against harassment, fraud, and unsafe behavior.
4. Third-Party Service Providers
We share certain data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service. These providers are contractually obligated to use your data only for the purposes we specify:
- •Cloudinary & ImageKit: For image upload, storage, optimization, and delivery (profile photos, dating photos, message attachments).
- •Resend: For sending transactional emails such as verification codes, password resets, and security alerts.
- •Firebase (Google): For push notification infrastructure and authentication services.
- •Expo (Expo.dev): For mobile push notification delivery and application build services.
5. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We may disclose information we have collected about you in the following limited circumstances:
- •Legal Obligations: If we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to enforce our Terms of Service; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Campustry, our users, or the public.
- •With Other Users: When you post content in a community, your display name and avatar are visible to other community members. When you use dating features, your dating profile is shown to potential matches. Your email address is never publicly visible.
- •Business Transfers: If Debug Dragons LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice within the Service before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
6. Data Retention & Deletion
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. If you wish to delete your account, you may do so through your account settings or by contacting us at the email below. Upon account deletion:
- •Your profile, dating profile, and community memberships will be permanently removed.
- •Messages you sent in community chats may be retained in anonymized form for the integrity of ongoing conversations.

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. These include encrypted password storage (Bcrypt), end-to-end encryption for direct messages (TweetNaCl), rate limiting, content security policies (CSP), and strict access controls. While we take reasonable steps to secure your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to promptly addressing any breach in accordance with applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Our dating features include server-side age verification that prevents any user under 18 from creating a dating profile. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a minor, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
