Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-08. Operator: Lattice (operated by Vincent Couey).

EduBracket is committed to transparency about what data we collect and which third parties touch your data when you visit. This page lists every data category, every ad and affiliate network, and how to exercise your privacy rights.

Information We Collect

Analytics events: page views, referrer, browser type, country (derived from IP and discarded), device class. Collected via Google Analytics 4 and/or Cloudflare Web Analytics. We do not collect raw IP addresses for long-term storage.
Cookies: we set no first-party tracking cookies. Third parties listed below may set their own cookies (ad measurement, affiliate attribution).
localStorage: our interactive tools (calculators, savings estimators, dosage checks, savable lists) store your inputs locally in your browser. This data is never transmitted to our servers.
Email address: only if you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter. Stored in our own first-party database (Cloudflare KV); we use no third-party email marketing platform. Unsubscribe anytime.
Server logs: Cloudflare records standard HTTP request logs (IP, user agent, path, status) for security and abuse prevention. Retention is governed by Cloudflare's policies; we do not retain or analyze these logs separately.

Third-Party Ad Networks and Affiliate Partners

EduBracket earns revenue through display advertising and affiliate partnerships. Each partner operates under its own privacy policy:

Google AdSense: Display advertising. AdSense may set advertising cookies to serve relevant ads. Opt out of personalized ads at adssettings.google.com.
Cloudflare: Hosting, CDN, edge security. Standard request logs only.
Google Analytics 4: Aggregate site usage analytics. We use IP anonymization where available.

Some articles include affiliate links to third-party merchants. When you click an outbound affiliate link, the destination merchant operates under its own privacy policy and may set a cookie to attribute any resulting purchase. These cookies do not contain personal information you gave us.

How We Use Your Data

To improve content and tools based on which pages and features are most useful.
To deliver newsletter emails you have opted into.
To attribute affiliate commissions on outbound product links.
To prevent abuse and protect site availability.

We never sell personal data to third parties. We do not share your email address with any third party; newsletter subscriptions are stored only in our own first-party database.

Your Rights: California (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, to request deletion of personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. EduBracket does not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. To exercise your rights, email [email protected] with the subject line "CCPA Request" and we will respond within 45 days.

Your Rights: European Union / United Kingdom (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you are located in the EU, UK, or EEA, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing of, or port personal data we hold about you, and the right to object to processing. Our legal basis for processing analytics data is legitimate interest (operating and improving the site); our basis for email processing is consent (you opted in). To exercise these rights, email [email protected] with the subject line "GDPR Data Subject Request" and we will respond within 30 days.

Children's Privacy (COPPA)

EduBracket is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our newsletter signup or any other form, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.

Data Retention

Analytics: aggregate event data retained for up to 14 months in Google Analytics, then auto-deleted.
Email subscriptions: retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
localStorage: retained on your device until you clear it (browser settings, "clear site data," or running localStorage.clear() in your developer console).
Server logs: governed by Cloudflare retention windows (typically under 30 days for raw logs).

How to Delete Your Data

Newsletter: click "Unsubscribe" in any email, or email [email protected] to request full deletion from our subscriber database.
localStorage: clear site data for edubracket.com in your browser settings.
Analytics: aggregate, non-identifying. Nothing to delete individually, but you can install an analytics-blocking extension to opt out going forward.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. There is no consensus standard for how operators should respond. EduBracket treats DNT signals as a request to opt out of personalized advertising where the underlying ad network supports it; first-party analytics remain active for aggregate measurement.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy when our data practices change. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced on the EduBracket homepage.
