Information we collect
Information you give us
- Email alerts. If you sign up for alerts, we store your email address, the scholarship you chose (if any), the date you signed up and confirmed, and a one-way hashed version of your IP address used only to stop spam. We send a confirmation email first and nothing else until you confirm. Unconfirmed sign-ups are deleted after 14 days. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.
- Reports. If you use Report a problem, we store your message, the page address and, if you give it, your email address, plus a hashed IP address for spam limits.
- Scam check. Text you paste into the scam check is not stored unless you tick the consent box; if you do, CNIC and passport numbers are removed before it is saved.
- Emails to us. If you email us, we keep the message so we can reply.
Information collected automatically
- Saved scholarships are stored only in your own browser (local storage) and are not sent to us.
- Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard technical information such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security and to keep the site running.
- Cookies. See the cookies and advertising sections below.
