Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026 · Editable
1. Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly, including name, email address, phone number, alumni or student affiliation, graduation year, event selections, ticket and order information, dietary restrictions, accessibility accommodation requests, and messages submitted through contact forms. When analytics are enabled we may also collect technical information such as browser, device, and basic site usage data.
2. How We Use Information
We use information to process event registrations; complete ticket and merchandise transactions; send confirmations and event updates; respond to inquiries; manage attendance; administer scholarships or philanthropy programs; improve the website; prevent fraud or misuse; comply with legal obligations; and send promotional communications when you have consented.
3. Event Registration Information
Registration details are used to reserve your place, communicate event updates, coordinate attendance, and support event operations. Certain records may be retained for reporting, accounting, and fraud-prevention purposes.
4. Purchases and Payment Processing
Payments are processed by the selected third-party payment processor, such as Stripe. The Block does not intend to directly store complete payment card numbers or card security codes on its own website database. The payment processor's separate terms and privacy policy apply to payment processing.
5. Communications and Marketing
You may receive transactional messages related to your registration or purchase. Promotional communications are sent only when you have consented, and you may unsubscribe at any time via the link included in those messages.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
By default, this website uses essential cookies only. Advertising, tracking, and marketing cookies are not installed unless the administrator intentionally enables them. If nonessential tools are later enabled, we will provide a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject nonessential cookies and to update your preferences.
7. Service Providers
Registration, order, and contact information may be processed or stored using our hosting, database, email, analytics, and payment service providers. Provider names will be identified in this policy once services are connected.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Retention periods will be reviewed by the administrator before launch.
9. Information Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to help protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, disclosure, or breach will never occur.
10. Choices and Privacy Requests
You may request access, correction, or deletion of your information, subject to applicable legal and operational requirements. Certain records may need to be retained for transactions, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, accounting, or legal compliance. Submit requests via the Contact page.
11. Children's Privacy
The website and Homecoming events are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13 through the website.
12. Third-Party Websites
This website may link to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The 'Last Updated' date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
14. Contact Information
For privacy questions or requests, please use the Contact page and select 'General Question' or the most relevant category. A dedicated privacy contact address will be added before launch.
