Privacy Overview

Clear expectations about information shared through SOS.

This overview explains the public-facing privacy choices described by the SOS workflow. Application users should also review notices presented during registration and account use.

Marketing-site inquiries

When you use the contact form, SOS receives the name, email address, organization, and message you submit so the team can review and respond to the inquiry.

Student identity

Students may choose an identified or anonymous profile. Anonymous profiles and SOS requests display school and major rather than the student's identity.

Shipping information

Student shipping addresses are not publicly displayed. An address becomes available to a donor only after that donor reserves an SOS item for purchase and delivery.

Purchase documentation

Donors may upload retailer confirmation emails or transaction screenshots as proof of purchase. Users should avoid including unrelated personal or payment information in an upload.

External services

SOS requests may link to third-party retailers, and this website links to Instagram. Those services operate under their own privacy practices.
