Saved schools and comparison lists

Your saved schools and comparison list are stored in your browser (local storage) on your device. They are not sent to us until you open a page that displays them, and then only the identifiers in the page address. Clear your browser data to remove them.

Location

The site never asks for your location automatically. If a feature offers it, it runs only when you press the button.

Forms

When you submit a school, claim a profile, suggest a correction, contact us, ask about advertising, or request information, we store what you enter (name, e-mail, message, details) to review and answer it. We keep such records for as long as needed for that purpose and in any case no longer than two years after the matter is closed, unless law requires otherwise.

Request Information is sent to the single school named on the form, and only if you tick the consent box naming that school. We forward it manually; we do not contact schools automatically and we do not sell or pass your details to anyone else. A request is not an application.

Anonymous counts

We count page and click events (for example sponsored impressions and outbound clicks) using a daily rotating hash of network address and browser type, so individual visitors are not identifiable across days. Raw IP addresses are used only for rate limiting and spam defence and are not stored with form data in readable form. Bots are excluded.

Cookies and analytics

This site currently sets no cookies and loads no third-party analytics or advertising scripts. If that changes, a consent choice will be offered first and this page updated.

Fonts are served from this site, not from a third party. Outbound links go to schools, authorities and other sites with their own policies. School logos, where shown, are loaded from the school's own website.

Your rights

You may ask us to access, correct, export or delete the personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict processing, by e-mailing us. If you are in the EU/EEA, the UK or Türkiye you may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

Representatives of schools

If you claim a profile we store your work contact details and how your identity was verified, in order to keep an audit trail of who can request changes.
