Last updated: March 26, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Foundation & Alumni Association ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information in connection with our Facebook application integration ("the App"). This policy applies specifically to data accessed through the Facebook Platform via the Meta Graph API.
1. Information We Collect
Our App accesses the following information from Facebook Pages that we manage:
- Page Events: Event names, descriptions, dates, times, locations, and cover images from Facebook Events created by or hosted on our Facebook Page(s).
- Page Posts: Published post content from our Page(s) for the purpose of identifying event announcements.
- Page Metadata: Page name, category, and profile information for our own managed Page(s).
We do not collect, store, or process any personal data from Facebook users, including but not limited to:
- User profiles, names, or email addresses
- User friends lists or social connections
- User photos, posts, or private messages
- RSVP or attendance data from events
- Any data from users who interact with our Page or events
2. How We Use Information
The information accessed through the Facebook Platform is used exclusively to:
- Synchronize event listings from our Facebook Page to our website (javelinaalumni.org / dev.javelinagiving.org) so that alumni, students, and community members can view upcoming events in a unified calendar.
- Display event details (title, date, time, location, description, and cover image) on our website.
- Help Page administrators manage and promote events more efficiently across platforms.
We do not use Facebook data for advertising, selling to third parties, or any purpose other than displaying our own Page's event information on our website.
3. Data Storage and Retention
- Event data synchronized from Facebook is stored in our website's database (WordPress) for the purpose of displaying event listings.
- Facebook Page Access Tokens are stored in encrypted form (AES-256-CBC) in our website's database and are accessible only to authorized site administrators.
- Event data is retained only as long as the event is relevant. Past events may be retained for archival purposes on our website calendar.
- We do not store any Facebook user data.
4. Data Sharing
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any data obtained from Facebook with third parties. Event information displayed on our website is publicly visible, consistent with the public nature of the events on our Facebook Page.
5. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data accessed through the Facebook Platform, including:
- Encrypted storage of access tokens
- HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
- Access restricted to authorized administrators only
- Regular security updates to our website platform
6. Your Rights
Since our App does not collect personal data from Facebook users, there is generally no personal data to access, correct, or delete. However, if you believe we have inadvertently collected your personal information, you may contact us and we will promptly address your concern.
7. Facebook Platform Terms
Our use of data received from Facebook APIs complies with the Meta Platform Terms and Developer Policies. We only access data that is necessary for the stated purposes and within the scope of permissions granted.
