Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how BestCampus ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit bestcampus.org (the "Site").

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Contact form data — your name, email address, and message when you contact us
• Usage data — pages visited, search queries, browser type, and IP address (via analytics tools)
• Cookies — small files stored in your browser to remember your preferences (e.g., filter selections)

We do not require account registration and do not collect payment information.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To respond to your enquiries submitted via the contact form
• To improve and personalise your experience on the Site
• To analyse usage patterns and improve our content and features
• To detect and prevent abuse or technical issues

3. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience. These may include:

• Essential cookies — required for the Site to function (e.g., CSRF protection)
• Preference cookies — to remember filter selections (stored in localStorage)
• Analytics cookies — to understand how visitors use the Site

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect Site functionality.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share data with trusted service providers who assist in operating the Site (e.g., hosting, analytics), under strict confidentiality agreements.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of BestCampus or others.

5. Data Retention

Contact form messages are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry. Usage data collected via analytics may be retained for up to 26 months before being aggregated or deleted.

6. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Third-Party Services

The Site may use third-party services such as analytics providers. These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

• Access to personal data we hold about you
• Correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Objection to certain processing activities

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
