Terms of use

What this is

CSI Map is a student-built campus map for College of Staten Island. It helps you find buildings and rooms, get walking directions, keep a class list on your device, and optionally sign in to add friends and plan meetups. It is not an official CSI service and is not affiliated with the college.

Using the map

You can browse the map and directions without an account. Routes are a guide, not a promise: paths change, doors close, and weather matters. Use common sense outdoors and indoors. We are not responsible if a route is wrong, blocked, or unsafe.

Accounts

Sign in is optional and uses a one-time code to a CSI email (@stu-mail.csi.cuny.edu or @csi.cuny.edu). Pick a display name and username that do not harass others. Do not pretend to be someone else or use someone else's email. You are responsible for what happens on your signed-in devices.

Friends and meetups

Friend requests, private meetups, and campus events are for students using this app in good faith. During a private meetup, live location is shared only with people in that meetup, and only while it is active. Treat others with respect. Do not use meetups to stalk, threaten, spam, or pressure anyone.

What is not allowed

• Harassment, hate, threats, or sexual content involving minors.
• Impersonation, scams, or trying to break into someone else's account.
• Spam, scraping, or automated abuse of the map or the API.
• Posting illegal content, or using the app to plan harm.
• Anything that interferes with other students' safe use of the campus tools.

Blocking, reporting, and removals

You can block someone so they cannot add or invite you, and you can report a person or a campus event from inside the app. There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Every report is reviewed within 24 hours, and content that breaks these terms is removed, meetups are ended, and the people responsible are suspended or have their accounts deleted. Blocking and reporting do not replace calling campus security or emergency services when you need them.

Your content

Names, usernames, meetup titles, and notes you post stay yours. By posting them here you let us show them to the people the feature is meant for (for example friends, or signed-in students on the campus board) and keep them long enough to run the feature and review reports.

Privacy

What we store and what we never keep is explained in the privacy policy. If these terms and the privacy policy say different things about data, the privacy policy wins for that topic.

No warranty

The app is provided as is, for free, by a student project. It may be unavailable, incomplete, or wrong. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost data, missed classes, injury, or other damages from using or not being able to use CSI Map.

Changes

We may update these terms when the app changes. The page you are reading is the current version. Keeping an account after a change means you accept the updated terms. You can delete your account anytime from Account.
