Privacy Policy: How We Handle Your Information
At scholarship.co.in, we believe that searching for financial aid is stressful enough—your privacy shouldn’t be. This page explains what happens to your data when you visit our site.
1. The “No-Nonsense” Rule
We are a private information portal, not a government agency. We don’t sell your personal data to third parties. We are here to help you find scholarships, not to auction off your email address.
2. What Information Do We Collect?
-
Voluntary Info: If you leave a comment or contact us with a scholarship problem, we see your name and email. We only use this to reply to you.
-
Automatic Info: Like almost every website, we use “cookies” and basic analytics (like Google Analytics) to see which scholarship articles are the most popular. This helps us write better content for you. It tells us things like your general location or the device you’re using, but not your home address or identity.
3. Third-Party Links
Since we provide scholarship updates, our articles contain links to government and university websites. Once you click those links and leave our site, their privacy rules apply, not ours. Always double-check the URL to ensure you are on an official .gov or .nic.in site before entering sensitive details.
4. Advertisements
To keep our services 100% free for students, we may show ads (like Google AdSense). These ad partners may use cookies to show you relevant ads based on your interests. You can always turn off cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.
5. Children’s Privacy
Our content is for students. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you are a minor, we encourage you to browse the web with your parents or guardians.
6. Changes to This Policy
If we change how we do things, we’ll update this page. It’s a good idea to check back occasionally.
Contact Us
Got questions? We’re humans, not robots. If you’re worried about your data, just reach out to us through our contact page.
Why this works:
-
Active Voice: Uses “We” and “You” instead of “The User” and “The Company.”
-
Reassurance: Explicitly states that you don’t sell data.
-
Context: Explains why you collect data (to improve content or show ads to keep it free).
-
Transparency: Reminds them again that you are not a government entity.
Quick Tip: Make sure the formatting on your website uses plenty of white space so it’s easy for students to read on their mobile phones!
