Privacy Policy

Summary

This website does not collect personal data. There are no accounts, no forms, no cookies, no analytics and no third-party scripts. Nothing you do here is recorded, profiled or shared.

Cookies and local storage

The site sets no cookies and writes nothing to your browser's local or session storage. The only state the site keeps is in the page URL — for example, the filters you have selected on the Find Schools page — and that lives only in your address bar.

Third parties

No fonts, scripts, tag managers, embeds, advertising or analytics are loaded from third-party domains. All assets are served from this site.

School films

Some school profiles include a film. YouTube is not loaded unless you enable external media in the cookie settings. Once enabled, films load automatically and start playing muted when you visit a school profile. At that point, your IP address, device information and viewing activity are transmitted to YouTube (Google LLC), and Google's own privacy policy applies. We use YouTube's privacy-enhanced player (youtube-nocookie.com).

Server logs

Our hosting provider may keep standard access logs, including IP address and user agent, for security and operational purposes. These are retained for a short period and are not used to build profiles of visitors.

Links to schools

Profiles link out to school websites. Once you follow a link you are on that school's site, subject to its own privacy practices — which are outside our control.
