Privacy policy

Information we process

Choices and permissions

You can browse without registering. Notification permission is requested through Android and can be declined or disabled in the app or system settings. Advertising privacy choices are available in Settings; a Google consent form is shown where applicable. We do not request your precise location, contacts, microphone, camera or personal files.

Service providers and sharing

Our hosting provider processes server data. Google Firebase delivers notifications and Google AdMob provides advertisements and consent handling. Their processing may take place outside your country. See Google’s privacy policy and how Google uses information from partner apps. We do not send your account password, bookmarks or interests to advertisers. We may disclose information when legally required or necessary to protect the service.

Content and external websites

Administrators may use the OpenAI API to prepare summaries from public opportunity announcements and linked pages. Student profiles, bookmarks and interests are not submitted to that article-generation workflow. Application links and email links open third-party services governed by their own privacy policies. Academic Hunt does not collect scholarship applications.

Administrator Gmail integration

Administrators can connect a Gmail account with read-only authorization to collect announcements from selected mailing lists or senders. We store matching message identifiers, subjects, senders, received dates and text, along with encrypted authorization tokens. Matching email text and relevant public linked-page content may be sent to the OpenAI API to prepare opportunity drafts. Attachments and Gmail credentials are not submitted to that workflow. Imported emails are visible only to administrators; drafts require administrator review before publication. The integration does not send or delete Gmail messages or change their read status. Disconnecting deletes the stored Gmail connection, source rules and imported email rows; prepared announcement sources, drafts and duplicate-tracking fingerprints remain part of the editorial system. Administrators can contact us about deleting that retained editorial material.

Retention and deletion

Account information is retained while your account exists. You can delete your account in Settings or request deletion by email. Deletion removes associated account data from the active database. Security logs may be retained for up to 30 days, or longer where legally required. Operational backups, if maintained, rotate within 30 days and are not used to restore deleted accounts. Providers such as Google apply their own retention policies. Local public-post caches may remain until cleared, updated or the app is uninstalled; account deletion clears cached posts on that installation.

Security and your rights

We use HTTPS, hashed passwords, protected server credentials and secure device storage. No service can guarantee absolute security. Contact us to request access, correction, deletion or assistance exercising applicable privacy rights. We may verify ownership before acting.

Audience and changes

Academic Hunt is intended for higher-education applicants and researchers aged 18 and older and is not directed at children. Contact us if a child has supplied personal information. We will update this policy when practices change and publish the revised date here.
