Privacy Policy & Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: October 2026 • Effective Immediately
1. Introduction & Our Commitment to Student Privacy
MasterPath (accessible via this website) is an independent international education discovery and application planning platform. We respect the privacy of aspiring scholars and are committed to protecting any personal data you share with us.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you visit our website, utilize our interactive tools (Eligibility Checker, Cost Calculator, Application Tracker), or subscribe to deadline alerts.
2. Important Affiliate & Commercial Partner Disclosure
In accordance with FTC guidelines and international commercial disclosure standards:
MasterPath participates in various affiliate and student partner programs. Some of the links on this website (such as links to German blocked account providers including Expatrio and Fintiba, student accommodation services including AmberStudent and HousingAnywhere, or English language test preparation services) are affiliate links.
This means that if you click through these links and subsequently open an account, purchase a service, or book accommodation, MasterPath may earn a referral fee or commission.
This comes at NO additional cost to you. In many cases, our partner agreements secure special perks, discounted activation fees, or complimentary packages for students.
Our editorial reviews, university rankings, and scholarship guides remain 100% independent. We only recommend partners that are legally vetted, officially recognized by relevant government agencies, and actively helpful for international applicants.
3. Information We Collect
- Information you provide voluntarily: When you subscribe to our newsletter, request scholarship alerts, submit feedback, or request a 1-on-1 SOP review, we may collect your name, email address, target study destinations, intended intake, and academic background details.
- Local Browser Storage (Client-Side): Data entered into the Application Tracker or Eligibility Checker is stored primarily within your web browser’s local storage (localStorage) for your convenience and privacy.
- Log and Device Data: Standard server logs, IP addresses, browser types, referring pages, and interaction timestamps collected automatically for system diagnostics and security.
4. How We Use Collected Information
We use your information solely to:
- Deliver relevant Master’s scholarship notifications and upcoming application deadline alerts.
- Connect you with requested admission mentors or 1-on-1 SOP review feedback.
- Improve platform usability, verify university criteria accuracy, and fix reported bugs.
- Respond to direct feedback and support inquiries.
We do NOT sell, rent, or trade your personal email or contact information to third-party telemarketers or unauthorized agencies.
