iPhone app privacy policy

Effective September 7, 2026. This policy covers the native Scholarship Buddy iPhone app provided by Scholarship Buddy. It does not describe features on the separate Scholarship Buddy website.

Information stored on your device

The app stores the programs you save, recruiting stages, notes, follow-up dates and funding amounts in its local files. No account is required. The app does not upload this information to Scholarship Buddy, and it contains no advertising, tracking or analytics SDKs. Your device backup settings may include app data.

Notifications

If you choose to schedule a reminder, the app asks for notification permission and schedules the reminder on your device. You can change this permission in iPhone Settings. Removing a plan also removes its scheduled reminder.

Your choices

Use About & privacy to export your saved data or delete all local plans and reminders. You choose where exported files go; the recipient or storage service then handles that copy. We cannot recover or delete copies you have exported or placed in device backups.

External links and support

School and website links open outside the app. Those services process information under their own policies. If you email help@scholarshipbuddy.app, our support team receives your email address and the information you choose to send through Google Workspace. We use that correspondence to respond to your request and resolve support issues. Contact us to request deletion of support correspondence, subject to any records we must retain.

Students and families

The app is intended to help families research college basketball. It does not request a child's identity or upload recruiting profiles. Avoid including sensitive student or financial information in support emails.

Changes and contact

We will update this page if the app's data practices change. For privacy questions, contact help@scholarshipbuddy.app.
