Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Study in Germany ("we", "our", or "the site") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit study-in-germany.pages.dev or any related pages.

1. What we collect

We deliberately collect very little. Specifically:

• Anonymous analytics: page views, country (general), browser type, and how you found us — through Vercel Analytics and (optionally) Google Analytics. We do not link this data to your identity.
• Local browser storage: your selected country (e.g., Pakistan) so the site can personalise content. This stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.
• Email (only if you subscribe): if you sign up for our newsletter, we store your email address only for sending you updates.

2. What we do NOT collect

• We do not require accounts or logins.
• We do not sell your data to third parties.
• We do not track you across other websites.
• We do not collect sensitive information (passport numbers, financial details, etc.).

3. Cookies & tracking

We use minimal cookies — only for analytics (so we know which pages help readers) and for remembering your country preference. You can clear these any time from your browser settings.

4. Affiliate links

Some links on this site (especially on the blocked account page and within blog articles) are affiliate links. If you sign up through them, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend services we genuinely consider useful for international students. This helps us keep the site free.

5. Third-party services

We use the following third-party services that may collect their own anonymous data:

• Vercel — hosts the site and provides anonymous analytics.
• Google Analytics (if enabled) — page-level analytics.
• External links — when you click out to DAAD, Expatrio, university websites, etc., their privacy policies apply.

6. Your rights

You always have the right to:

• Clear your local browser data at any time.
• Unsubscribe from any emails you receive from us.
• Contact us to request information about what (if anything) we store related to you.

7. Children

Our site is intended for students aged 17 and above who are exploring higher education in Germany. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy occasionally. We will post the new version here with the updated date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
