We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our student members. This statement outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website.

 

​

Website Hosting and Data Storage

Our website is built and hosted using wix.com, a cloud-based web development platform. Wix stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall and complies with international data protection standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 

Data may be stored on Wix’s servers located in the United States, Europe, or Israel, depending on operational and legal requirements. Wix uses industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/SSL) to protect transmitted data. For more information about Wix's data protection practices, you can visit:

Data We Collect

We have ensured that the only data we collect is absolutely necessary for membership.
For this reason, we only ask users for:

• An email address

• Their full name, else an alias or "username" is accepted

​

Any other data (e.g. school location, subject choices) is not required for membership and would only be shared between students via the chat function.
We do not collect location data and independent sharing of location will be deleted and can result in an invalidated membership (see membership rules here).

​​

Additionally, students are asked to create a passcode.
Their passcode is not stored in the site database and is only known by the member themselves. The moderators of this site cannot access passcode data of any kind.

​​

​

How Your Data is Used

Your data is only used for membership purposes.
For example, an Email is required for students to be able to login to their account.

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

​

​

Safeguarding

This site has an aggressive censorship function that can identify inappropriate content.

Members who share content or messages that violate the association's rules will have immediate action taken on their account.

​

If we become aware of any illegal activities, particularly involving the safety of our student members, we will report such behaviour to the police or relevant authorities.

There is a report function found on the profile of another member.

Members are encouraged to report all inappropriate or endangering discussion immediately.
