Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026. Your privacy and digital autonomy are fundamental to our service.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Scholarships & Study Abroad Hub is a publicly accessible, zero-account community directory. We do not require account registration, login credentials, passwords, or personal user profiles to browse, search, or filter our directory.

Users can explore all verified groups anonymously with no paywalls, mandatory email subscriptions, or gatekept content.

2. Information Collected via Submissions

If you voluntarily submit a community or contact us via our web forms, we collect the submitted metadata (community title, description, invite URL, and contact email). This data is used solely to verify, categorize, and index the submitted public community.

We do not sell, license, or monetize submitted contact emails to third-party marketing brokers or advertising networks.

3. Outbound Links & Third-Party Platforms

Our directory contains outbound links to third-party communication networks including Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Reddit. Once you click an invite link, you are governed by the privacy policy and terms of service of that specific platform.

We encourage users to review the privacy controls and notification settings on respective chat applications before joining any public channel.

4. Cookies & Server Logs

We do not use invasive tracking cookies, browser fingerprinting, or cross-site behavioral advertising trackers. Standard server logs (IP address, browser user-agent, timestamp) may be recorded temporarily by our global CDN edge network solely for DDoS defense and security auditing.

5. Your Rights & Data Requests

Under GDPR and CCPA regulations, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any community metadata associated with you. Please reach out via our Contact Page to submit requests.
