Privacy Policy

Your quiz answers stay on your device

Your profile — grades, test scores, income bracket, budget, and preferences — is stored only in your browser's local storage. It is never sent to our servers. Matching happens entirely on your device. Clearing your browser data deletes it.

Your shortlist stays on your device too

Institutions you save to your shortlist are kept in your browser's local storage, like your quiz answers, and are never sent to us — unless you ask us to email you the list. Then we send the links on it, and the address you typed, to our server for that one email. We keep the address only if you tick the box to get our updates; otherwise it isn't stored. To stop the same address being emailed over and over, we keep a count of shortlist emails per address and per connection, which is deleted automatically after a few days.

What we collect

If you join a waitlist or ask us to email your matches, we store the email address you provide, along with which form you used and when. Your quiz answers are not attached. To stop the sign-up form being used to send our welcome email to a stream of addresses, we also count sign-ups per connection (IP address) per day; that count is deleted automatically after a few days.

How we use it

To send you what you asked for: your match list, launch announcements, deadline reminders, and financial-aid tips. We don't sell or share your email address with anyone. Reply to any email from us, or email us, to be removed at any time.

Visitor statistics

We count visits with Plausible Analytics, which sets no cookies and collects no personal data. It records which page was viewed, the referring site, the country and the type of device, and nothing that identifies you. It cannot read your quiz answers — those stay in your browser — and when you join a waitlist it records only that a signup happened and on which page, never the address you entered.

College & university data

US college statistics come from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard, a public dataset. Net prices are averages and may not reflect your actual aid offer.

UK university statistics come from Discover Uni (© HESA, licensed under CC BY 4.0) and the Office for Students (Open Government Licence v3), aggregated from course-level records to institution level. Entry tariffs describe students actually admitted, not published offers.
