Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

ScholarGem respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information that may be collected when you visit ScholarGem, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us, submit a correction, subscribe to an update, or otherwise communicate with ScholarGem. We may also receive limited technical information automatically, such as browser type, device information, IP address, referring pages, and general usage data.

How We Use Information

Information may be used to operate and improve the website, respond to messages, protect the site from abuse, understand how visitors use our content, and maintain the accuracy and usefulness of our scholarship and opportunity listings.

Cookies and Analytics

ScholarGem may use cookies and similar technologies for essential website functions, analytics, performance, security, and—if enabled in the future—advertising. Third-party services may process information according to their own privacy policies.

External Websites

Our articles frequently link to universities, governments, scholarship providers, employers, international organizations, and other official sources. ScholarGem does not control those external websites or their privacy practices.

Data Retention and Security

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to technical, legal, security, and operational requirements. We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

You may contact us to ask about information you have voluntarily submitted to ScholarGem or to request a correction or deletion where applicable. Browser settings can also be used to control certain cookies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as ScholarGem develops. The latest version will always be published on this page.
