Fresh Scholarships exists to provide clear, honest guidance about scholarships, fellowships, and study opportunities worldwide. To do that responsibly, we collect limited data, use standard analytics tools, and work with advertising partners. This page explains exactly how that works, what data is collected, and what rights you have as a user.
This policy applies to all pages on FreshScholarships.com and covers analytics, cookies, advertising, and general data protection practices.
Why this page exists
Transparency matters. Search engines, advertising platforms, and users all expect websites to clearly explain how data is handled. More importantly, students deserve to know how their information is used when they visit an education platform.
This page is written to meet international privacy expectations, including common standards used by Google Analytics, advertising networks, and modern data protection laws.
What information we collect
Fresh Scholarships does not collect sensitive personal information by default. Most visitors can browse the site without submitting any personal details.
We may collect limited information in the following ways:
If you contact us through a form or email, we may collect your name, email address, and the message you choose to send. This information is used only to respond to your inquiry.
When you browse the site, non-identifying technical data may be collected automatically. This can include browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on pages, and general location such as country or city. This data does not identify you personally.
We do not require user accounts, logins, or profiles to access content.
How analytics are used
Fresh Scholarships uses analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the website. These tools help us answer practical questions, such as which pages are helpful, where users get confused, and how content can be improved.
Analytics data is used to:
• Improve content clarity and usefulness
• Fix broken pages or navigation issues
• Understand overall traffic trends
• Maintain site performance and security
Analytics tools may use cookies or similar technologies to collect this information. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous. It is never used to identify individual students.
Cookies and tracking technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function properly and gather basic usage insights.
Fresh Scholarships uses cookies for limited, essential purposes:
Some cookies help the website load correctly, remember basic preferences, or prevent security issues.
Other cookies may be used by analytics or advertising partners to understand general user behavior, such as page views or visit duration.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect certain site features, but the core content will remain accessible.
Advertising and ad networks
Fresh Scholarships may display advertisements through third-party ad networks. These ads help support the site and keep educational content freely available.
Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show relevant ads based on general browsing behavior. This does not mean Fresh Scholarships knows who you are or tracks you across the internet.
Important points about advertising on this site:
• Ads are managed by third-party networks, not directly by Fresh Scholarships
• We do not control the content of individual ads shown
• Advertisers do not receive personal contact information from us
• Ads do not influence scholarship eligibility or selection
Sponsored content, if present, is clearly identified. Editorial decisions are never sold or influenced by advertisers.
Affiliate and referral disclosures
Some pages may contain affiliate references or partnerships related to education services, tools, or resources. This means Fresh Scholarships may earn a small commission if a user chooses to use a recommended service.
These partnerships do not affect how scholarships are evaluated, explained, or ranked. Funding reality, eligibility limits, and risks are always stated clearly, even if that discourages applications.
The priority remains accuracy and student trust, not conversions.
How we protect your data
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect this website and any information shared with us.
We take steps to:
• Secure the website against unauthorized access
• Limit internal access to submitted messages
• Use reputable hosting and software providers
• Avoid collecting unnecessary personal data
However, no website can guarantee absolute security. Users should avoid sharing sensitive personal or financial information through contact forms or email.
Third-party links and external sites
Fresh Scholarships may link to external websites, such as universities, scholarship providers, or government portals. These sites operate independently and have their own privacy policies.
Once you leave FreshScholarships.com, this policy no longer applies. Users are encouraged to review the privacy practices of any external site they visit.
We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or data practices of third-party websites.
Children and student users
Fresh Scholarships is designed for students aged 15 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
If you believe a child has shared personal information with us unintentionally, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.
Changes to this policy
Privacy laws, advertising standards, and technology evolve. This policy may be updated when necessary to reflect changes in tools, regulations, or site features.
Updates will be posted on this page. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the revised policy.
The goal remains the same: clarity, honesty, and respect for users.
Contact and questions
If you have questions about this policy, data usage, or advertising practices, you can reach out through the contact page on this site.
We take corrections and concerns seriously, especially when they affect trust, accuracy, or user safety.
