Privacy Policy

Campus Hustle exists to help student entrepreneurs get discovered — not to collect more data than we need. We only ask for what’s required to verify students, power shop discovery, and keep the marketplace trustworthy, and we never sell your personal information.

  • We collect only what's needed to verify students and power shop discovery.
  • Your shop info (name, photos, description) is public by design — that's how customers find you.
  • We never sell your personal information.
  • You can access, correct, or delete your data anytime by emailing us.
  • This policy covers our website, app, and related services.

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Campus Hustle, Inc. ("Campus Hustle," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website, mobile app, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

  • Account & verification information — your name, school email address, and other details we use to verify your student status when you create an account or apply to publish a shop.
  • Shop & listing information — anything you add to your shop, like your business name, description, photos, prices, campus, and contact details. This is shown publicly so customers can find you.
  • Communications — information you share when you contact us, apply to become an Ambassador or campus partner, join our community, or subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Usage & device information — things like IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and approximate location, collected automatically to help us run and improve the Services.
  • Cookies & similar technologies — used on our website to keep things running smoothly and to understand how it's used.

How We Use Your Information

  • Verify student status and operate shop accounts
  • Display listings so customers can discover student-owned businesses
  • Operate, maintain, and improve our website and app
  • Respond to inquiries, support requests, and partnership or Ambassador applications
  • Send service updates, newsletters, and marketing communications — you can opt out at any time
  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues
  • Comply with our legal obligations

How We Share Your Information

  • Publicly, on shop listings — anything you add to your shop (name, photos, description, campus) is meant to be seen by the public; that's how customers find you.
  • With service providers — vendors who help us run the Services, like hosting, email delivery, and analytics providers, under obligations to protect your data.
  • For legal reasons — if required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Campus Hustle, our users, or others.
  • In a business transfer — if Campus Hustle is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use our site. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect how parts of the site work.

Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account or shop is active, or as needed to provide the Services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at admin@campus-hustle.com. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in those emails.

Children's Privacy

Campus Hustle is intended for current college and university students and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, let you know.
