Privacy notice.

ONYX X is a class-organized website for Hampton University’s Class of 2017. This notice explains what we collect and how we use it.

What we collect

When you sign up we store your name, optional former name, email, optional mobile number, class year, the time you agreed to these policies and, if you choose text updates, the time and wording of your text consent. We also store a one-way hash of your connection address to limit spam; we do not keep the address itself. Your email and phone are visible only to the site owner for account administration, never to other members.

Sign-in uses a one-time code emailed to you through our authentication provider (Neon). We don’t use passwords.

Messages we send

Verified members get in-app notifications for official announcements. Email announcements are on by default and can be turned off in settings. Text messages are sent only if you opt in; message frequency varies, message and data rates may apply, and you can reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help at any time. We never sell or share your phone number for marketing.

Our hosting provider keeps standard technical logs such as IP address and browser type to operate and secure the site. We do not use advertising trackers.

Coming features

• When the member directory opens, you’ll control which profile fields classmates can see, and you can hide yourself from it.
• Private messages will be visible to their participants. Chats are not end-to-end encrypted.

GroupMe

Today the site only links to our class GroupMe. If the committee later connects GroupMe messages to the site, the group will be told first, and phone numbers or emails from GroupMe will not be imported into our records.

Payments

When purchases open, payment will be handled on a secure hosted checkout. We will not store full card details.

Your choices

You can ask the committee to update or delete your information at any time. See the Contact page for how to reach us.
