Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 5, 2026

At ScholarPus (accessible at https://scholarpus.com.ng/

), we take your privacy seriously. This document breaks down the types of information we gather when you browse our site, how we use that data, where cookies and ad tools come into play, and the options you have regarding your personal information.

By visiting and using ScholarPus, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.

1. Who We Are

ScholarPus is an independent educational platform that shares practical insights on scholarships, study opportunities, job openings, career advice, and international programs.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, ScholarPus operates as an independent resource. We are not connected to, endorsed by, or affiliated with any government agency, university, employer, scholarship board, or immigration authority mentioned on our site.

2. Information We Collect

What we collect depends on how you interact with our website. Here is a breakdown:

Information You Give Us Voluntarily

  • Your name and email address when filled out in forms.
  • Messages or inquiries submitted through our contact page.
  • Subscription details if you sign up for updates or newsletters.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit ScholarPus, our systems automatically log basic technical data, including:

  • Your IP address and general geographic region (such as city or country).
  • Device details, operating system, and browser type.
  • How you navigate the site: pages viewed, links clicked, referral URLs, and time spent on specific pages.
  • Technical metadata gathered via cookies, log files, and analytics services.

Note on Sensitive Data: We do not request or intentionally collect sensitive personal records. Please do not submit financial info, passwords, national identity numbers, or health details through our contact forms.

3. Contact Form Communications

When you send us a message through our site, we record your name, email, and message content so we can:

  • Address your questions or requests efficiently.
  • Handle feedback or resolve issues you bring up.
  • Keep a record of ongoing conversations where necessary for operational purposes.

We never sell contact form details to third parties. On occasion, secure third-party communication tools help process or route these messages so we can respond promptly.

4. Newsletters and Email Subscriptions

If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address purely to send you updates, new articles, educational guides, and relevant announcements.

  • You can leave the list at any point by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email we send, or by contacting us directly.
  • We do not sell, rent, or lease subscriber lists to third-party marketers.

5. Cookies and Web Technologies

Like most websites, ScholarPus uses cookies—small text files stored on your device—along with similar tracking mechanisms. These help us keep the site running smoothly, understand user traffic, save preferences, and deliver relevant advertisements.

We categorize our cookies into four main buckets:

  1. Essential Cookies: Required for core site functions and basic security.
  2. Analytics Cookies: Show us how visitors interact with content so we can improve site layout and performance.
  3. Preference Cookies: Remember choices you make (like layout preferences or language settings).
  4. Advertising Cookies: Used by ad networks to measure campaign performance and serve relevant ads.

You can adjust or block cookies directly in your browser settings. Keep in mind that turning off certain cookies might impact how parts of our site function.

6. Analytics Services

To make ScholarPus better, we use third-party analytics tools like Google Analytics. These tools compile anonymous, aggregated data showing:

  • Which pages get visited most frequently.
  • How long visitors stay on the site.
  • General location trends and device usage patterns.
  • Referral paths showing how users discovered our site.

This information helps us fix broken links, create better educational resources, and streamline site navigation. You can learn more about how Google handles this data by checking Google’s privacy resources.

7. Advertising & Third-Party Partners

ScholarPus relies on third-party ad networks to keep our educational resources free. These ad providers may use cookies, web beacons, and IP tracking to serve ads, evaluate campaign success, and tailor advertising content based on your broader browsing habits.

We do not directly manage or control how these independent advertising partners process data. We recommend checking their individual privacy policies for specific details.

8. Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on ScholarPus.

  • Google and its partners use advertising cookies (including DoubleClick and related domains) to deliver ads tailored to your past visits to our website or other sites on the web.
  • These cookies also manage ad frequency, track conversion metrics, and prevent fraud.
  • Depending on your location and browser preferences, ads may be personalized or non-personalized.

You can manage your preference settings or opt out of personalized Google ads anytime by visiting Google’s Ad Settings

.

9. Third-Party Ad Networks

If we work with ad providers outside of Google, those networks will operate under their own privacy protocols. Where required, we list these networks and provide options to opt out of their tracking programs.

Google guidelines require us to state clearly that third-party vendors may read or place cookies on your browser, drop web beacons, or collect IP data when serving ads through our site.

10. How We Use Your Information

In summary, we use collected information to:

  • Keep ScholarPus running, secure, and fast.
  • Answer your emails and provide requested support.
  • Deliver updates if you opted into our mailing list.
  • Analyze site traffic trends and refine our career guides.
  • Detect and block spam, suspicious activity, and security threats.
  • Meet relevant legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal data simply because you browsed our website.

11. Data Retention

We hang onto personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the goals outlined in this policy—unless applicable law requires a longer retention period.

  • Contact Messages: Saved as long as needed to handle your request and maintain business records.
  • Newsletter Data: Retained until you click unsubscribe or request removal.
  • Analytics Records: Kept in accordance with data retention schedules set inside tools like Google Analytics.

Once data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, regional privacy regulations may grant you specific rights over your data. These often include the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask us to fix inaccurate or outdated details.
  • Request that we delete certain records.
  • Withdraw consent for email updates or specific processing tasks.
  • Object to or restrict specific forms of data handling.

To exercise any of these options, drop us a line using the contact details below. We may need to verify your identity before taking action.

13. Children’s Privacy Protection

ScholarPus is not directed at children under the age of 13, nor do we knowingly collect personal data from them. If you suspect a child has shared personal information with us without parental consent, please let us know immediately so we can remove the data.

14. External Links

Our site contains links to outside resources—including university portals, government job boards, employers, and scholarship providers.

We provide these links strictly for your convenience. Once you leave ScholarPus, our privacy policy no longer applies. We have no control over the privacy practices, security measures, or content on external websites, so be sure to check their policies when you visit them.

15. Security Safeguards

We implement standard administrative and technical safeguards to keep your personal information safe against loss, unauthorized access, or disclosure. That said, no internet transmission or electronic storage setup is 100% secure. Avoid sharing highly confidential data through online forms.

16. Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in site operations, legal rules, or advertising setups. Whenever updates occur, we will adjust the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page occasionally to stay informed.
