Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Quiz responses: program interest, degree level, state, and enrollment timeline.
• Contact information: first name and mobile phone number, only if you choose to provide them with consent.
• Consent records: when you check the consent box we store the timestamp, your IP address, the exact consent language version you agreed to, and the page you submitted from.
• Usage data: pages visited, referral source (including whether you arrived from an AI assistant such as ChatGPT or Perplexity, stored in a 30-day cookie), and standard analytics data.

How we use your information

• To deliver your quiz matches by text message.
• To send follow-up text messages about educational opportunities, only with your express written consent.
• To connect you with partner schools that match your answers, which may contact you about their programs.
• To improve our content and measure which guides help readers.

Text messages and TCPA consent

Providing your phone number and checking the consent box constitutes express written consent for UniversityFindr and its partner schools to contact you at that number, including via automated technology, prerecorded messages, and text messages. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or of receiving quiz results. Message and data rates may apply and message frequency varies. Reply STOP to any message to cancel, or HELP for help. We keep a record of every consent (timestamp, IP, and consent text version) as required by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

Sharing

We share your quiz responses and contact information only with the partner schools you consented to hear from, and with service providers that operate our messaging and hosting infrastructure. We do not sell your information to data brokers.

Your rights

You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting privacy@universityfindr.com. Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and Virginia) may exercise their statutory rights through the same address.

Cookies and analytics

We use a small number of cookies: an attribution cookie recording whether you arrived from an AI assistant (expires after 30 days) and standard analytics cookies. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

Changes

We will post any changes to this policy on this page with a new effective date. Material changes to how we use contact information will require fresh consent.
