We know you're trusting us with sensitive information about your education, finances, and future. Here's exactly what we collect, why, and the control you have over it.
This Privacy Policy explains how Find Scholarship For Me ("we," "us," "our," or the "Platform") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you use findscholarshipforme.com, our dashboard, and any related mobile applications (collectively, the "Service").
This policy applies to all users globally, regardless of which country you are applying for scholarships from or which country's universities you are applying to. Where local law (such as the EU's GDPR) grants you stronger rights, those rights apply to you in full.
Our AI tools (Scholarship Matcher, SOP Writer, IELTS Coach, CV Optimizer, and your personal AI agent) process the text and documents you submit in order to generate responses, feedback, and drafts.
Some AI processing may be performed via third-party AI infrastructure providers acting strictly as data processors under contractual confidentiality and data protection terms.
Regardless of where you live, you have the right to:
| Right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Access | Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. |
| Rectification | Correct inaccurate or incomplete information. |
| Erasure | Request deletion of your account and associated data ("right to be forgotten"). |
| Portability | Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format. |
| Objection | Object to certain processing, including marketing communications. |
| Restriction | Request that we limit how we use your data while a dispute is resolved. |
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@findscholarshipforme.com or use the in-app "Privacy Requests" option in Settings. We respond within 30 days.
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data and drafts within 30 days, except where we are required to retain limited records (such as billing history) for legal or tax compliance.
We use industry-standard safeguards including encryption in transit (TLS), encrypted storage for sensitive documents, access controls, and regular security reviews. No system is 100% secure, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.
Our Service is intended for users aged 16 and above who are preparing for higher education. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
As a global platform serving students across 54+ countries, your data may be processed in countries outside your country of residence, including jurisdictions with different data protection laws. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to protect transfers of EU/EEA user data.
We may update this Privacy Policy as our Service evolves. Material changes will be notified via email or an in-app banner at least 7 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
