Welcome to Scholars.Zycto (accessible at https://scholars.zycto.com). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.

This Privacy Policy explains exactly how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. By using Scholars.Zycto, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

We have written this policy in simple English because we believe you should understand exactly what happens with your data. We are a platform that shares information about international jobs, scholarships, immigration tips, and grants. Because our visitors come from all over the world, we want to ensure this document is clear for everyone.

1. Information We Collect

When you visit Scholars.Zycto, we may collect two types of information: Personal Information (which you voluntarily give us) and Non-Personal Information (which is collected automatically).

A. Personal Information You Provide to Us

We only collect personal information if you choose to give it to us. This may happen when:

B. Information We Collect Automatically (Log Files)

Like mostly all other websites on the internet, Scholars.Zycto uses log files. These files merely log visitors to the site – usually a standard procedure for hosting companies and a part of hosting services’ analytics. The information collected by log files includes:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (This tells us roughly where you are connecting from, e.g., Nigeria, India, USA).

  • Browser type (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari).

  • Internet Service Provider (ISP).

  • Date and time stamp of your visit.

  • Referring/exit pages (The page you came from and the page you left on).

  • Number of clicks.

Important: This information is not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

2. Cookies and Web Beacons

Scholars.Zycto uses “cookies.” A cookie is a very small text file stored on your computer or mobile device. We use cookies to improve your experience on our website.

How We Use Cookies:

4. Our Advertising Partners

Some of advertisers on our site may use cookies and web beacons. Our advertising partners may include platforms like Google AdSense.

These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Scholars.Zycto, which are sent directly to users’ browser.

5. Third-Party Privacy Policies (External Links)

Our website focuses on providing links to external job applications, university portals, and government immigration sites.

Once you click a link on Scholars.Zycto and leave our website, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. We advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers or websites for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.

For example, if you click a link to apply for a job on a company’s career page, that company is responsible for the data you submit to them (like your CV or Resume), not us.
