EduRanked (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website eduranked.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you understand the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Who this policy covers
This policy applies to visitors who browse guides, open category pages, submit email inquiries, sign up for newsletters (when a form is live), or otherwise interact with eduranked.com. It does not cover third-party websites we link to — those sites have their own privacy practices.
Information we collect
Information you provide
When you email us or use a contact form, we receive the content of your message and any contact details you include (such as name, email address, and organization). If you request a correction, we may also receive URLs and source links you send so we can investigate.
Information collected automatically
Like most sites, we may collect technical and usage data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, and timestamps. We use this to operate the Site, diagnose errors, and understand which guides help readers.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies and local storage may be used for essential site function, remembering preferences, analytics, and — if enabled — advertising measurement. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may limit parts of the Site.
How we use information
- To operate, secure, and improve EduRanked
- To respond to corrections, feedback, press, and partnership messages
- To measure traffic, content performance, and technical reliability
- To send newsletter updates if you opt in (you can unsubscribe anytime)
- To detect abuse, spam, or security incidents
- To comply with legal obligations when required
Legal bases (where applicable)
Depending on your location, we may process data based on legitimate interests (running an informational publishing site), consent (non-essential cookies or marketing emails), contract necessity (responding to a request you initiate), or legal obligation.
Sharing and processors
We use service providers that help us host the Site, deliver email, run analytics, and secure infrastructure. These processors only receive what they need to perform their services. We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of EduRanked and its users.
Retention
We keep correspondence as long as needed to resolve your request and maintain an accurate editorial record. Analytics data is retained according to the tools we use. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it where feasible.
International transfers
Our hosting and processors may store data in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards offered by those providers.
Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal data, or to object to certain processing. To make a request about personal data you sent us, email [email protected] with “Privacy” in the subject line. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
Children
The Site is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; please use strong unique passwords for any accounts you control and be careful with sensitive documents — do not email full application packages or government ID unless a school specifically requires that channel.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
