Privacy

Effective November 10, 2026. This page covers the Scholarship Buddy website. The iPhone app has its own privacy policy.

What we never do

We do not sell student or parent information. We do not share it with colleges, lenders, advertisers or data brokers. There are no advertising or tracking scripts on this site.

What stays on your device

You do not need an account. Scholarships and schools you save, and numbers you type into the money plan, are stored in your own browser on your own device. They are not sent to us. Use My plan to export a copy or delete everything. Clearing your browser's site data also removes it.

What we collect if you sign up for email

Your email address, an optional first name, the page where you signed up, which list you chose and a dated record of your consent. We use this to send the emails you asked for. To limit abuse of the sign-up form we keep a short-lived, scrambled counter of requests that is deleted within a day and does not record your address in readable form.

Who processes it

The site and its sign-up records run on Cloudflare, our hosting provider. When our email service is connected, we share only what is needed to deliver email and manage unsubscribes. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.

Links to sponsors

"Go to sponsor" opens the sponsor's own website. What you enter there is handled under the sponsor's policy, not ours.

Children

This site is written for parents and for high school students. We do not ask for a child's identity. If a student is under 13, a parent should be the one to sign up for email.

Your choices and contact

To see, correct or delete your email record, or to ask a privacy question, email help@scholarshipbuddy.app. We will update this page if our practices change.
