Privacy & your data
Hub Club is a homeschool families’ board for London, Ontario. This page says, in plain terms, what we hold about you, who can see it, and how to get it back or delete it. Last updated August 2026.
What we collect
Only what you put in, and only what the board needs to work:
- A family id. Made up at random in your browser the first time you visit. It is how the board knows one family from another. There is no account and no password.
- What you choose to show: a name (or nothing), and your children’s ages if you turn that on. Both are optional and off until you set them.
- Your email, only if you give one to sign in on more than one device or to get messages about things you’re part of.
- What you do on the board: ideas you post, things you say you’ll come to, comments, and attendance if you run an event.
- Payment, once it’s switched on: handled by Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe, not to us. We keep only a record that a membership was paid.
No trackers, no advertising, no selling anyone’s information, ever. We don’t load anything from other companies that would watch you across the web.
Who can see what
This is the heart of it, so it’s worth being exact. Anyone who opens the board, member or not, sees events, dates, how many families are coming, and roughly what part of town something is in.
Names, children’s ages, comment authors and the exact address are for KLC Core members only — the paid, values-affirmed layer of the club. If you are not a member, other families’ names and ages are hidden from you, and yours are hidden from them. You always see your own. Members-only events are invisible to non-members entirely.
Children’s information
A child’s age band is the only thing about a child the board ever holds, it’s optional, and it’s entered by a parent. We ask for as little as the board can work with on purpose. If you’d rather show nothing about your children, leave it off on the You page, and the board still works.
Getting your data, or deleting it
Under Canada’s privacy law (PIPEDA), you can ask to see what we hold about your family and ask us to delete it. To do either, reply to any email from Hub Club, or message the organiser who invited you. We’ll confirm it’s you and then:
- send you a copy of what’s on file, or
- delete your family: your email, sign-in devices, membership and your entries on the board all removed.
You can also sign out and wipe everything this browser holds any time from the device settings — that clears this device; ask us if you want your record on the board removed too.
Keeping it safe
Your family id never leaves our server in a form another family could use, the connection is encrypted, and the board is backed up. No system is perfect, but we hold as little as possible so there is as little as possible to lose.
The short version of the terms
- Hub Club is a community board run not-for-profit, offered as-is, with no guarantee an event will run.
- Be decent. Post real things, don’t misuse other families’ information, and treat what you see about other families as theirs, not yours to share on.
- You’re responsible for your own children at any activity. Organisers of an activity are not vetted or insured by the board unless they say so.
- We can take down anything that doesn’t belong here, and you can leave and take your data with you whenever you like.
