On this events platform specifically
When you sign up for or check in to an event on events.hillelontario.org, here is exactly what happens with your information:
- What we collect.Your name, email address, school, faculty or program, and expected graduation year; optionally a phone number, a second email address, and anything you choose to share in the “Anything we should know?” field (such as dietary or accessibility needs). We also record which events you sign up for and attend.
- What it’s for. Running the events you take part in (confirmations, event details, day-of check-in) and understanding our reach so we can serve students better. Notes you share about dietary or accessibility needs are used only to make events comfortable for you.
- Email.We only email you about events you sign up for. The optional “keep me posted” checkbox at sign-up is your express consent to hear about future events and opportunities — leave it unticked and you won’t get those emails, and you can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.
- Who sees it.Hillel staff at the campus where you engage, and Hillel Ontario’s central team. Your information also flows into Hillel’s internal engagement records system, operated under the same confidentiality obligations described above.
- Payments.Paid events are processed by Stripe on Stripe’s own secure checkout. Your card details never touch our systems — we only learn that your payment succeeded.
- No accounts, no tracking for advertising.You never create a password here, and we don’t sell your information or use it for third-party advertising.
