HSKOBA ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of visitors, members, alumni, administrators, and other users of the HSKOBA website.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, and protected when you use our website and related services.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect information including:

We only collect information that is reasonably necessary for operating and maintaining the HSKOBA website and alumni-related activities.

2. How We Use Your Information

Information collected through the website may be used to:

3. Google Services and Google Drive

HSKOBA may use Google APIs and Google Drive to allow authorized administrators to manage photographs, documents, and other media used by the HSKOBA website.

When an authorized administrator connects their Google account, the application may request permission to access Google Drive. This access is used only for the functions required by the HSKOBA website, such as uploading, storing, organizing, or managing website media.

HSKOBA does not use Google Drive data for advertising, selling personal information, or unrelated purposes.

Google account information and Google Drive data accessed through the Google API are handled in accordance with Google's applicable policies.

4. Google OAuth Authentication

The website may use Google OAuth 2.0 to securely authorize access to Google services. When an administrator authorizes the application, Google may provide authentication credentials such as access tokens and refresh tokens.

These credentials are used solely to maintain the authorized connection between the HSKOBA website and the administrator's Google account.

We do not request or store the administrator's Google password.

5. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information stored by the website against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Access to administrative functionality and stored information is restricted to authorized personnel.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

6. Sharing of Information

HSKOBA does not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

Information may be shared with service providers or technology platforms only when reasonably necessary to operate the website and provide its services.

We may also disclose information when required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of HSKOBA and its users.

7. Publicly Displayed Information

Some information may be displayed publicly on the HSKOBA website, such as alumni names, photographs, events, activities, or other content that has been approved for publication.

Users should avoid submitting information that they do not wish to be displayed publicly.

8. Third-Party Services

The website may use third-party services such as Google services, hosting providers, analytics services, or other infrastructure providers.

These services may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

9. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for legitimate alumni, administrative, operational, legal, or security purposes.

Users may contact us if they would like information relating to them to be reviewed, corrected, or removed, subject to applicable requirements and legitimate administrative needs.

10. Children's Privacy

The HSKOBA website is intended primarily for alumni, members, administrators, and other appropriate users. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for purposes unrelated to the operation of the website.
