How we handle information
This policy explains the information Swan Study Bridge may collect, why it is used, and the choices available to visitors.
We aim to collect only the information reasonably needed to operate the website, understand its use, respond to enquiries, and improve our education services.
Information you provide
When you contact us, submit a form, request consultation support, subscribe to an update, or otherwise communicate with Swan Study Bridge, we may receive information such as your name, email address, telephone number, country, education interests, and the contents of your message.
Please do not send passports, financial records, academic documents, or other sensitive personal information through a general contact form unless we have specifically requested it through an appropriate process.
Information collected automatically
Our website and service providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring source, approximate location, and interaction data. Cookies or similar technologies may be used for essential website functions, security, analytics, preferences, and—if introduced after consent where required—advertising.
How information may be used
- To operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.
- To respond to enquiries and provide requested education or consultancy information.
- To understand which articles and services are useful to visitors.
- To prevent spam, misuse, fraud, and technical problems.
- To meet legal, regulatory, accounting, or contractual responsibilities.
- To send updates only where a lawful basis exists and an appropriate choice is provided.
Analytics, advertising, and external services
We may use analytics, security, form, hosting, content-delivery, and advertising services that process limited information on our behalf or under their own privacy terms. If Google advertising services are enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, and personalize advertising where permitted. Our consent controls will provide choices where required.
Links to universities, governments, scholarship providers, and other websites are provided for convenience. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Retention, protection, and sharing
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, legal compliance, dispute resolution, security, and legitimate record-keeping. We use reasonable safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
We do not sell personal information as a standalone business activity. Information may be disclosed to service providers, professional advisers, authorities where legally required, or as part of a legitimate organizational transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.
Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent. You may also adjust cookie choices through the consent tool when available. Requests can be sent to admin@swanstudybridge.com; we may need to verify identity before acting.
Children and changes
This website is intended for a broad education audience and is not designed to collect personal information directly from children without appropriate authorization. We may update this policy as the website, services, or legal requirements change. The current version will display its revision date.
