Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 6, 2026

This policy explains what information Scholarships for Pakistani Students ("we", "us") collects when you use this site, and how we use it.

Information we collect

Account information: name and email address if you register or subscribe to scholarship alerts.
Usage data: pages viewed, referring pages, and approximate location (from IP address), collected via analytics. We hash IP addresses before storing them for view tracking.
Cookies: used for session management, remembering preferences, and — if you consent — personalized advertising via Google AdSense.
Chatbot conversations: if you use the scholarship assistant, your messages are stored to improve accuracy and prevent abuse.

How we use it

To send scholarship alerts you've explicitly subscribed to (double opt-in — you must confirm by email before receiving anything).
To operate the site, prevent abuse, and understand aggregate traffic patterns.
To serve advertising through Google AdSense, which may use cookies to show relevant ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google's Ads Settings.

Third parties

We use Google AdSense (advertising), an email delivery provider (subscription notifications), and OpenAI (to power the scholarship chatbot — your chatbot messages are sent to OpenAI's API for processing). None of these providers receive your name or email unless you explicitly provide it to them directly.

Your rights

You can unsubscribe from any email using the link in every message, or request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.
