Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 9, 2026

collegedata.fyi is designed to work without accounts, logins, or saved student profiles. You can browse school pages, read source documents, use the public API, and use the current planning tools without submitting personal information to us.

What we collect

We use Vercel Analytics to understand anonymous, aggregate site usage: things like page views, referrers, browser type, device type, and general location. This helps us see which pages are useful and whether the site is performing reliably.

Vercel Analytics does not give us a list of named visitors, and we do not use it to build student profiles or sell audience data.

What we do not collect

• No account information, because there are no accounts.
• No student profile database.
• No application lists, grades, test scores, essays, or financial details.
• No sale of personal data to schools, lenders, advertisers, or data brokers.

Public API and server logs

Requests to the website and public API may create ordinary hosting, database, and security logs. We use those logs to operate the site, debug problems, and protect the service from abuse. We do not use them to identify students or build marketing profiles.
