Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data Where To Apply (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit this site, and how it’s used.

Information we collect

We don’t require an account to browse deadlines, guides, university profiles, or scholarships, and we don’t collect personal information unless you choose to give it to us, for example by emailing us a correction or question.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) and Google Search Console to understand aggregate traffic: which pages are visited, roughly where visitors are located at the country level, and how people arrive at the site. This data is used only in aggregate to improve content and site structure; we don’t attempt to identify individual visitors from it. Until you accept the cookie consent banner shown on your first visit, Google Analytics runs in a cookieless mode: no analytics cookie is set and only anonymous, aggregate page-view signals are sent. Accepting enables full analytics cookies.

Cookies

Your consent choice itself is stored in your browser’s local storage, not in a cookie, and never leaves your device. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) are set only if you accept them via the consent banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser, which brings the banner back on your next visit.

If advertising is introduced, advertising cookies will be treated the same way: not set until you have accepted them, and, for visitors in the UK and EEA, gathered through a consent tool that meets the applicable consent requirements.

Advertising

This site may display ads served by third-party ad networks. Where those ads are served by Google AdSense, the following applies.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
• More detail on how Google handles data from sites that use its services is at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

No advertising is served on this site at the time of writing. If and when it is, ads will be labelled and kept off the pages people use to make a decision — calculators, verified data tables, and visa and deadline reference pages. Advertising never influences which universities, scholarships, or providers appear, or in what order; see our editorial policy.

Third-party links

Pages on this site link to official university, government, and scholarship-provider websites. Once you leave this site, their own privacy policies apply, and we have no control over their data practices.

Data retention and requests

We don’t store personal data beyond what’s needed to respond to a message you send us. To request deletion of any personal information you’ve shared with us, email admin@wheretoapply.xyz.

Changes to this policy

We’ll update the date at the top of this page whenever this policy changes materially.
