Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

GrantMe helps Canadian students find scholarships they are eligible for. We take privacy seriously, especially because many of our users are under the age of majority. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We handle personal information in accordance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

What we collect

When you take the quiz we collect the answers you provide (such as grade level, field of study, school, and grade range) and, if you choose to unlock your full match list, your first name and email address. If you are a student, we also ask for a parent or guardian’s first name and email so we can keep them informed about your matches. Providing this is your choice; you can browse without an account.

Why we collect it

We use your quiz answers solely to rank and personalize the scholarships we show you. We use email addresses to create your account, send you your match list, and (only with your consent) send occasional scholarship-guidance emails. The email that delivers your matches or signs you in is a transactional message; marketing emails are separate and consent-based.

Consent (CASL)

We never pre-check consent. You opt in to scholarship-guidance emails by ticking the box yourself, and every email includes a one-click unsubscribe. You can withdraw consent at any time, and we keep a record of the consent you gave.

Parents, guardians, and minors

Because many of our users are minors, we default to the most protective settings, never enable marketing by default, and ask students to involve a parent or guardian. If you are a parent or guardian and would like a child’s information reviewed or removed, contact us at the address below.

We never sell your data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share it with scholarship providers; the links we show take you directly to the official provider’s own site, where their privacy practices apply.

Analytics

We use privacy-preserving, self-hosted analytics to understand how the site is used. We do not place advertising trackers, and our usage events are stripped of personal information.

Security and retention

We protect your information with encryption in transit and access controls, and we keep it only as long as needed to provide the service. You can ask us to access or delete your personal information at any time.
