Privacy Policy | GoOpportunities

GoOpportunities (“we”, “us”) operates a public directory of scholarships, fellowships, internships, jobs, and related international opportunities. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies to all visitors to this website and to registered users of our services.

Information We Collect

We collect only the data required to operate the service:

Account data. When you register, we store your name, email address, and a hashed version of your password. We never store plaintext passwords.
Preference and activity data. Bookmarks, saved searches, application trackers, and dashboard settings that you create are stored to personalize your experience.
Newsletter data. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address and subscription consent timestamp.
Technical data. Standard server logs (IP address, browser type, requested pages) are collected for security and aggregate analytics only.

How We Use Information

To authenticate you and deliver the features of your account.
To send deadline reminders and newsletters you explicitly opted into.
To measure aggregate usage so we can improve listing quality and site performance.
To detect, prevent, and address abuse, security incidents, and spam.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers for cross-site tracking.

Cookies and Analytics

We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in and to protect forms against abuse. Aggregate, privacy-respecting analytics may be used to understand traffic patterns; these tools are configured not to profile individual visitors.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep account data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time by contacting us; directory records about opportunities are public facts and are retained independently of user accounts.

Third-Party Links

Opportunity listings link to external application pages operated by universities, governments, and other organizations. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and this policy does not cover your activity on them. We encourage you to review their policies before submitting information.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to withdraw marketing consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details on the contact page.

Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify registered users by email or an on-site notice.
