Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how University of Embu Christian Union (UoEm CU) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you use our website and services.

What we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Identity data — name and similar identifiers.
• Contact data — email address and phone number.
• Profile data — account details, preferences, and activity within the platform.
• Authentication data — sign-in method and related credentials.
• Usage data — pages visited, actions taken, and general interaction with our services.
• Third-party data — information imported from providers like Google when you use Google Sign-In.

Google OAuth

When you sign in with Google, we may receive your email address and basic profile information. We only request the minimum scopes required — email and profile — and do not store access tokens unless strictly necessary for the service to function.

You can unlink Google from your account at any time in Settings, and you can revoke UoEm CU's access directly from your Google Account permissions page.

How we use your data

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and maintain your account
• Provide, operate, and improve our services
• Communicate updates, events, and announcements
• Maintain the security and integrity of our platform
• Comply with legal obligations

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with trusted service providers who help us operate our services (for example, hosting or authentication providers), and only to the extent necessary for them to perform their functions, or where required by law.

Data security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

You have the right to request access, rectification, deletion, and portability of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@uoemcu.ac.ke.
