What we do with your details
We are a student-run community, not a company. This page is in plain language because you deserve to know exactly what happens to what you send us. If anything here is unclear, email us and ask.
What we collect
When you apply, the form asks for seven things:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your WhatsApp number
- Your college year
- Which circle you want to join
- Your LinkedIn profile
- A short paragraph about yourself
That is all. We do not ask for your marks, your resume, or anything we do not actually need.
What becomes public
If your application is accepted and you are added to the member directory, four things appear on this website where anyone can see them:
- Your name
- Your course
- The paragraph you wrote about yourself
- A link to your LinkedIn profile
Your email address and WhatsApp number are never published. They are not shown on the site, not shared with other members, and not given to anyone outside the organising team.
Write your paragraph knowing other students will read it. If you would rather not appear in the directory at all, say so when we message you and we will keep you off it. You can still be in your circle.
Why we need your number
Circle group links are not posted publicly, which is how we keep the groups small and worth being in. So once we have read your application, we message you on WhatsApp with your circle's link. That is the only reason we ask. We use it for that, for session reminders, and for nothing else.
Where it is stored
Applications go into a Google Sheet that only the organising team can open. Member profiles that appear on this site are stored in our own database. We do not sell anything to anybody, we do not run ads, and we do not pass your details to other organisations.
How long we keep it
If we do not take your application forward, we delete it from the responses sheet within three months. If you join, we keep your details for as long as you are part of the community, and delete them within three months of you telling us you are leaving. Nobody here has a reason to hold on to a phone number longer than that.
Changing or removing your details
Email theroundtable0128@gmail.com and tell us what you want changed. You can ask us to correct your profile, take you off the public directory, or delete everything we hold about you. We will do it, and we will not make it awkward or ask you to justify it.
Cookies
This site sets no tracking or advertising cookies. The only cookie we use is one that keeps the organising team signed in to the admin page, and it is never set for visitors.
