Privacy Policy

Hum Scholars ("Hum Scholars," "we," "us," or "our") provides scholarship consultation services to students through humscholars.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide directly. When you submit our contact or consultation form, message us on WhatsApp, or email us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, country of interest, academic background, and any other details you choose to share.
• Automatically collected information. Like most websites, we may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the Site through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 3).
• Information from communications. If you contact us by email, WhatsApp, or social media, we keep a record of that correspondence to respond to you and provide ongoing support.

We do not collect payment card details, bank information, or government ID numbers through the Site, as Hum Scholars does not process payments or transactions online.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide scholarship consultation services;
• Follow up with relevant scholarship opportunities, deadlines, and guidance;
• Improve our Site, content, and services based on how visitors use them;
• Communicate updates about our services, where you have consented to receive them; and
• Comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud or misuse of the Site.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies (such as web analytics tools like Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve performance. We may also, in the future, use Google AdSense or similar advertising services, which can place cookies to serve relevant ads and measure their performance. Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings.

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the Site function.

4. Third-Party Links

Our scholarship guides and articles link to official university and government scholarship pages so you can verify details and apply directly. These third-party sites operate under their own privacy policies, which we do not control. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site before submitting personal information there.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share it only:

• With trusted service providers who help us operate the Site (such as hosting or analytics providers), under obligations to protect your information;
• When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process; or
• With your consent, for a purpose we've disclosed to you.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 10 and we'll respond within a reasonable time.

8. Children's Privacy

Hum Scholars' services are intended for students who are applying to, or old enough to consider, higher education programs. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
