Legitimate uses, where processing is necessary for the functioning of the website, security, and fraud prevention, as permitted under the Act.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The website may use cookies and similar technologies to support basic functionality and security. We do not currently deploy advertising cookies or behavioural profiling. Users can control or disable cookies through their browser settings. For full details, please refer to our Cookies Policy.
6. Third-Party Services and Links
Our website may use third-party tools, such as hosting or analytics providers, to operate and monitor the site. These providers may process limited technical data according to their own privacy policies.
Our articles also link to external websites, including university pages, travel resources, technology platforms, event organisers, and career portals. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.
7. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share personal data with advertisers or partners. Limited technical data may be processed by our hosting provider as a data processor. We may disclose information where required by law, court order, or a lawful request from a government authority.

Technical logs are retained for a short period consistent with security needs. We do not retain personal data longer than necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These include secure connections (HTTPS) and access controls on stored data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of any data shared online.
