This Privacy Policy explains how Degree Globe (“we”, “us”), operating the website degreeglobe.com, handles information when you visit. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible.

Information we collect

Degree Globe is a largely static information website. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask you to submit personal information to browse. Some data is collected automatically or through third-party services, as described below:

• Usage data — standard technical information such as your browser type, device, approximate region and pages visited, used to understand how the site is used and to keep it working.
• Cookies and similar technologies — small files used by analytics and advertising providers (see below). You can control cookies through your browser settings.
• Information you send us — if you email us or submit a correction, we receive whatever you choose to include (for example, your email address and message).

Advertising and Google AdSense

We use advertising, including Google AdSense, to keep Degree Globe free for students. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
• For more on how Google uses data, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Where required (for example, for visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland), we present a consent choice for the use of cookies for personalized advertising.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic (for example, which pages are popular). This helps us improve the site and is not used to identify you personally.

How we use information

• To operate, maintain and improve Degree Globe.
• To display advertising that keeps the site free.
• To respond to messages and correction requests you send us.
• To detect, prevent and address technical issues or abuse.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Data may be processed by the third-party service providers we rely on to run the site (such as our hosting provider and advertising/analytics partners), each under their own privacy terms.

Your choices

• Control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
• Opt out of personalized ads via the links above.
• Contact us to ask about the information you’ve sent us.

Children’s privacy

Degree Globe is intended for a general audience of prospective students and is not directed at children under the age required by local law to consent to data processing. We do not knowingly collect personal information from such children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date above.
