PRIVACY

What this site knows about you.

Short answer: how the site gets used, and nothing that identifies you.

No account, no login, no newsletter.
We measure how the site is used, so we can improve it.
No advertising, ever.
Nothing is sold or passed to any university.

We pay attention to how the site gets used, because that is how it gets better for you. When we can see that something useful is hard to find, we can move it, rewrite it, or build the thing that was missing. None of it identifies you.

What we look at, and what we never see

Which pages get opened, which universities get looked at, and which parts of a page people actually read. That is how we decide what to research and write next, so the answers you came for are the ones that get built first.

We also keep an anonymous playback of how people move through a page. It is rebuilt from the page itself rather than filmed from your screen, and anything you type is hidden before it leaves your browser.

Your name, your number and your email never reach us this way. A small cookie tells a returning reader from a new one. All of it is held in the EU, by a company called PostHog, and none of it is sold.

What stays on your phone

Saving a university keeps it in your own browser and nowhere else.

Two things are stored on your device: the universities you save, and the ones you put side by side to compare. They never leave the phone and nobody here can see them.

Clearing your browser data removes both. Nothing else is kept.

If you fill in a form

There are two, and you only meet them if you choose to.

If you tell us what you are trying to decide, we can usually help you with it, and the next student gets a better site because of what you said. That is the whole reason they are there.

Never sold, and never passed to an advertiser.
No university is ever told that you asked about them.
Where your answers go, and how to have them removed

Answers arrive in a spreadsheet that Vasu reads. Sometimes someone he works with reads them too, so that you get a reply rather than silence. They are used for two things: to write back to you, and to decide what gets built or corrected next.

The same goes for the chat with Vasu. Your messages are answered with help from Anthropic, a company in the United States that processes text under its own privacy policy and does not use it to train its systems. The conversation is kept in the same spreadsheet, so that a follow-up picks up where you left off and the answers keep getting better for the next student. If you leave a phone number there, it is only so that someone Vasu works with can call you back.

Email hellovasugorle@gmail.com, say which form or chat and roughly when, and it is deleted. You do not have to give a reason.

What loads from somewhere else

Two companies see something when you use this site. Here is exactly what.

  • Google, for the maps. When a map or the 3D view loads, Google receives your IP address and what the map asked for, under Google’s own privacy policy. Google may set its own cookies at that point. A map only loads when you scroll to one.
  • Netlify, which hosts the site. Like any web host it keeps standard server logs of requests, including IP addresses, for a limited period.
Where the photographs come from

Some campus photographs are served by Google Places and some are from Wikimedia Commons, credited where they appear. Loading one tells Google that an image was requested. It does not tell Google who you are.

Who is responsible

uniwise is run by Vasu Gorle, an individual, in the United Kingdom. There is no company behind it.

Anything about your data, including having it removed, goes to the address below and is read by a person.
