The OSU Events application stores users' full name, student email, and
ONID. This information is used for the following purposes:
- To allow users to log in
-
To track which events users have registered for, marked as 'interested',
or viewed.
- To track which resources users have viewed.
-
(ONID only) To track app usage on a day-by-day basis. (for instance,
whether a user has opened the app or not)
We restrict access to this data to specific individuals within
the OSU Honors College and College of Engineering. Subject to FERPA protections, they may use this
data to:
- Better plan events to suit student needs.
-
Contact event attendees (for instance, they may contact attendees via
email if an event's plans change on short notice)
-
Conduct research, which may involve cross-referencing it with other
student records. While the results of this research may be public, all
provided data will be aggregated to such a degree that
no particular individual student will be identifiable. For
instance, we might release the number of students in residence halls who
registered for a particular type of event, but we will not state which
specific students registered for those events.
We also use Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to track usage and
crashes.
All data is encrypted:
- When transmitted (using HTTPS)
- When stored (using Google Cloud's builtin encryption)
