Privacy Policy

Overview

Global Study Prep is a free informational site. Reading our guides, databases and tools requires no account and no personal information.

What we collect is limited: an email address if you subscribe to the newsletter or create an optional account, aggregate analytics about how pages are used, and the security logs any website needs to operate.

We do not sell personal data, and no listing on this site is a paid placement.

Information You Provide

Newsletter: your email address, used only to send the updates you subscribed to. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from the list.

Optional account: email and basic profile details if you choose to sign in, used to operate your session and any saved preferences.

Support messages: if you contact us, we keep the correspondence to answer you and improve the site.

Information Collected Automatically

Analytics: aggregate, privacy-conscious usage data (pages viewed, referral source, country-level location) used to understand what content helps readers.

Logs: standard technical logs (IP address, user agent, timestamps) retained briefly for security and abuse prevention.

How We Use Information

To operate the site, deliver the newsletter you asked for, keep the service secure, understand aggregate usage, and improve our guides and data.

We do not use your personal data for advertising profiles, and we do not share it with data brokers.

Third-Party Services

We use infrastructure providers (hosting, database, email delivery, analytics) that process data on our behalf under their own safeguards.

Our pages link out to universities, scholarship providers and our own specialist sites (CheveningPrep, FulbrightPrep, G5Admissions, IELTS Actual Tests, IELTS Writing Prep, IELTS Speaking Prep). Outbound links may include referral tags so we can see which pages helped readers; each destination site has its own privacy policy.

International Transfers

Our infrastructure providers may process data in jurisdictions other than yours. By using the site you understand data may be transferred and processed where our providers operate.

Children

The site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your Rights

Where applicable law provides them, you may request access to, correction of, deletion of, or export of your personal information by contacting us at the address below.

Changes

We will update this policy as the site evolves and change the date at the top when we do. Material changes to how we handle personal data will be noted prominently.

Cookies

We use only the cookies needed to run the site: session cookies if you sign in, a preference cookie for language/theme, and analytics cookies where applicable. We do not run third-party advertising cookies.
