Last updated: 8 October 2026. This policy explains how ApplyScholars handles information when you visit applyscholars.com or contact us.
Information you provide
When you email us or use a contact form, you provide the information included in your message, such as your name and email address. If comments or subscriptions are available and you use them, the information requested by those features is also processed. Please do not send identity documents, bank details or scholarship application files to ApplyScholars; applications belong with the official provider.
Technical and usage information
The website, hosting services and security or statistics tools may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device details, pages requested, referral information and access times. This information helps operate the site, investigate errors, understand use and prevent abuse. Technical information is not necessarily anonymous.
How information is used
Information is used to respond to messages, operate requested features, maintain the website, assess readership and protect the site against spam and misuse. Access may be provided to hosting and service providers involved in these functions, and information may be disclosed where required by applicable law.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies or similar technologies may support website features, statistics, social sharing and advertising. Your browser can block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect some features. Where a consent control is provided, you can use it to manage the choices it offers. Reading this policy or visiting the site does not replace consent where consent is required.
Google advertising
When Google advertising is enabled, Google and other advertising vendors may use cookies based on visits to this website and other websites. These cookies can support personalised advertising across the Internet. You can manage Google personalised advertising through My Ad Center and explore participating vendors’ choices at aboutads.info. These choices do not necessarily remove all advertising.
Third-party services
Where enabled, Google services, Automattic services such as Jetpack or Akismet, and ShareThis sharing features may process information according to their own policies. See Google’s privacy policy, Automattic’s privacy policy and ShareThis’s privacy notice. Service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live.
External application websites
Articles link to universities, employers and funding providers. Their websites operate under their own privacy policies. ApplyScholars does not control their application forms or the information you submit to them. Check the destination before sending personal documents.
Retention and security
Information is retained for the purpose for which it is processed, including handling enquiries, security and applicable legal obligations. Different providers and website functions may have different retention practices. No online system can guarantee complete security; avoid including unnecessary sensitive information in a message.
Your requests and choices
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or request deletion of personal information, or object to certain processing. Contact us with enough detail to identify your request. Identity verification may be needed, and legal or security requirements can affect what can be deleted. Use the relevant provider’s own privacy controls for information it holds independently.
Children and changes
The site is not intended to collect sensitive application information from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child has supplied personal information can contact us. Changes to this policy will be posted here with an updated date.
