Last Updated: September 19, 2026
Welcome to ShivanshAbroad.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you visit or interact with our website.
Shivansh Abroad is a study-abroad information website created around real student experiences, university research, scholarship information, application guidance, and personal observations about studying abroad. Our goal is to make complicated study-abroad topics easier to understand while being transparent about how our website works.
If you use this website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you may choose not to use the website.
1. What Information Do We Collect?
We try to keep personal data collection limited to what is reasonably necessary for operating and improving Shivansh Abroad.
Depending on how you use the website, information may be collected in several ways.
Information You Voluntarily Provide
If we provide features such as contact forms, newsletter subscriptions, comments, surveys, or other communication tools, you may voluntarily provide information such as:
- Your name
- Email address
- Message or question
- University or study-abroad interests
- Information you choose to include in a communication
You do not need to provide unnecessary personal information simply to read our publicly available articles.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most modern websites, Shivansh Abroad may automatically receive certain technical information when you visit a page. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate geographic region, visit duration, and general interaction information.
This information is primarily useful for understanding website performance, identifying technical problems, improving page experience, and understanding which study-abroad topics are useful to readers.
2. How We Use Information
Information collected through Shivansh Abroad may be used for legitimate website-related purposes, including:
- Operating and maintaining the website
- Improving website performance and usability
- Understanding how visitors use our articles
- Responding to questions and messages
- Improving our study-abroad content
- Detecting spam, abuse, fraud, or security problems
- Monitoring website traffic and technical performance
- Displaying relevant advertising where applicable
- Complying with applicable legal requirements
For example, if readers repeatedly ask about MBA scholarships in the United States, that feedback can help us understand what information students are actually looking for. We may use aggregated website insights to improve future articles without identifying individual readers.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Shivansh Abroad may use cookies and similar technologies to improve the functionality and performance of the website.
A cookie is a small text file that can be stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies can help websites remember preferences, understand traffic patterns, maintain certain functionality, and provide a better browsing experience.
Cookies may be used for purposes such as:
- Website functionality
- Remembering certain preferences
- Analytics and traffic measurement
- Security and abuse prevention
- Advertising and measurement
You can usually control or delete cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features work.
4. Google and Third-Party Advertising
Shivansh Abroad may use third-party advertising services, including Google advertising products, to support the operation of the website.
Third-party advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to understand user interactions and display advertisements. Advertising practices can change over time, so visitors should also review the privacy information provided by the relevant advertising provider.
For information about how Google handles data in advertising products, you can review Google’s official privacy resources:
Where applicable, advertising and consent mechanisms may also provide visitors with choices concerning personalized advertising.
5. Analytics and Website Measurement
We may use analytics or similar measurement technologies to understand how people interact with Shivansh Abroad.
Analytics can help us answer practical questions such as:
- Which study-abroad topics are receiving genuine reader interest?
- Which pages are difficult to navigate on mobile devices?
- Which articles should be updated?
- Are pages loading correctly?
- Where are visitors generally coming from?
Analytics information is generally used in an aggregated or statistical manner rather than to personally identify individual readers.
6. External Links
Our articles may contain links to external websites. These links may include official university websites, scholarship organizations, government resources, education platforms, ranking organizations, application resources, or other websites that we believe may be useful to students.
For example, when discussing a university, we may link readers to that university’s official website so they can verify current admission requirements, tuition information, deadlines, or program details.
Once you leave ShivanshAbroad.com and visit an external website, that website’s own privacy policy and terms apply. We do not control how external websites collect or process information.
We encourage students to check important information directly with the relevant university, government department, scholarship provider, or official organization before making an application or financial decision.
7. Study Abroad Information and Personal Responsibility
Shivansh Abroad publishes educational and informational content about studying abroad, including MBA universities, engineering universities, scholarships, admissions, student life, applications, and international education.
Some articles may include personal experiences or opinions from Shivansh. A personal experience is not necessarily representative of every student’s situation.
Admission requirements, tuition fees, scholarship deadlines, visa rules, eligibility requirements, test requirements, and university policies can change. Because of this, readers should always verify important information with the relevant official source.
Our privacy practices do not change the fact that readers remain responsible for how they use information published on this website.
8. Information Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information that may be collected through the website. However, no website, online transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We therefore cannot promise absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.
If we become aware of a security issue affecting information under our control, we will take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances.
9. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to operate our services, resolve disputes, maintain records, prevent abuse, or comply with applicable legal obligations.
The exact retention period may depend on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
10. Children’s Privacy
Shivansh Abroad is intended to provide general educational information to students and people researching international education opportunities.
We do not intentionally request unnecessary personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take reasonable action where appropriate.
11. Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live and the applicable laws, you may have certain rights concerning personal information.
These may include rights to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of certain information
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Manage certain cookie or advertising preferences
Not every right applies in every situation, and some requests may be subject to legal or operational limitations.
12. Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Shivansh Abroad does not intend to sell visitors’ personal information as a standalone commercial product.
However, third-party advertising, analytics, embedded content, and other technologies may involve data processing by external providers. The way those providers process information is governed by their own policies and applicable privacy laws.
13. Third-Party Services
Our website may rely on third-party providers for services such as hosting, security, analytics, advertising, email delivery, embedded content, or other technical functionality.
These providers may process limited information as necessary to provide their services.
We aim to work with services that provide appropriate privacy and security information, but their policies may change independently from ours.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, technology, advertising partners, legal requirements, or data practices change.
When we make a meaningful change, we may update the “Last Updated” date displayed at the top of this page.
We recommend checking this page occasionally if you regularly use Shivansh Abroad.

16. Frequently Asked Questions
Does Shivansh Abroad collect my personal information?
Simply reading an article does not normally require you to provide personal information. Certain technical information may be collected automatically when you visit the website, while information such as your name or email may be collected if you voluntarily use a contact or other interactive feature.
Does Shivansh Abroad use cookies?
Yes, cookies or similar technologies may be used for website functionality, analytics, security, preferences, and advertising purposes.
Why do I see advertisements on the website?
Advertising may help support the ongoing operation of Shivansh Abroad, including research, writing, website hosting, maintenance, and content updates. Depending on the advertising provider and applicable settings, advertisements may use cookies or similar technologies.
Are the universities and scholarships mentioned on Shivansh Abroad guaranteed?
No. Our content is intended for general informational and educational purposes. University requirements, scholarship eligibility, deadlines, fees, and admission policies can change. Students should verify current information through official sources before applying.
Is every article based on Shivansh’s personal experience?
No. Some articles may combine personal observations with publicly available educational information and research. Where an article presents a personal experience or opinion, it should be understood as an individual perspective rather than a universal experience.
Can I request deletion of my information?
Depending on the applicable privacy law and the circumstances, you may request deletion of personal information that we hold about you. We may need to verify the request and may retain certain information where required or permitted by law.
Does clicking an external university link mean Shivansh Abroad controls that website?
No. External websites operate independently. Once you visit an external website, its own privacy policy, cookies, terms, and data practices apply.
Where can I verify important study-abroad information?
For important decisions, we recommend starting with primary sources such as the official university website, official government immigration websites, recognized scholarship providers, and official examination organizations.
17. A Note From Shivansh
I created Shivansh Abroad with a simple idea: studying in another country can feel exciting, but the amount of information online can also be confusing.
When I write about universities, scholarships, MBA programs, engineering programs, or student life, I want the website to feel like information coming from a real student rather than a collection of generic marketing pages. At the same time, I know that my experience is only one experience.
That is why I encourage readers to use our articles as a starting point, compare information from multiple sources, and check important details directly with the official institution.
If something on the website looks outdated, unclear, or incorrect, please let us know. Keeping educational information useful requires regular updates, and reader feedback can help us identify pages that need another look.
18. Final Note
Your privacy matters to us. We aim to collect and use information responsibly, explain our practices clearly, and provide readers with useful study-abroad information without unnecessarily asking for personal data.
By continuing to use ShivanshAbroad.com, you acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to review this Privacy Policy.
