Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 30, 2026

Welcome to EMJMD Catalogue (emjmdcatalogue.com). This Privacy Policy tells you how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, read our articles about Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) programs, sign up for updates, or send us questions.

By using our site, you agree to this policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. We are an informational blog only — we help students find details on EMJM programs, scholarships, applications, and related updates. We don’t sell courses or take payments.

1. Who We Are

EMJMD Catalogue is a personal blog run from Pakistan, focused only on Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters programs. Website: emjmdcatalogue.com Email: contact@emjmdcatalogue.com

We are the data controller for your information (under GDPR if you’re in EU/UK).

2. What Information We Collect

A. You Give Us Directly

  • When you email us, comment, or subscribe to newsletter: name, email, country, message details (e.g., “I’m applying for EMJM in AI”).
  • We only ask what’s needed — no phone numbers or IDs unless you share them.

B. Collected Automatically When you visit:

  • IP address
  • Browser type (e.g., Chrome), device (phone/computer)
  • Pages you view, time spent, clicks
  • Where you came from (e.g., Google search for “Erasmus Mundus catalogue 2026”)

We use tools like Google Analytics for this.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use it only for:

  • Answering your questions about EMJM programs or applications.
  • Sending newsletter updates (e.g., new catalogue changes, deadlines) — only if you subscribe and can unsubscribe anytime.
  • Making the site better (e.g., see which EMJM articles get most reads).
  • Basic stats (anonymous, like how many visitors from Europe).
  • Stopping spam or bad use.

We never sell, rent, or trade your data. We don’t use it for ads targeting you personally.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies (small files on your device) to:

  • Remember if you accepted cookie notice.
  • Track site usage (anonymous).
  • Make site faster/load better.

Types:

  • Necessary (site works without them? No).
  • Analytics (Google Analytics — sees patterns, not your name).

You can block cookies in browser settings (e.g., Chrome > Settings > Privacy), but site might not work perfectly. We use a cookie banner for consent (GDPR rule).

5. Third-Party Services

We use:

  • Google Analytics: for traffic stats (their policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy).
  • Email service (e.g., Mailchimp or similar): for newsletters (their policy applies too).
  • WordPress plugins (if any for comments/forms).

These companies may collect data under their rules. We choose trusted ones. We have no control over them. Check their sites.

No other sharing unless law requires (e.g., court order).

6. Where Your Data Goes

Data is stored on servers (likely in US/EU via hosting provider). If you’re in EU, we use GDPR-approved tools (e.g., EU-US Data Privacy Framework for Google). Transfers outside EU are protected by standard clauses.

7. How Long We Keep Data

  • Emails/newsletter subscribers: until you unsubscribe or ask delete.
  • Comments: as long as post exists (you can ask remove).
  • Analytics: anonymous data kept 14–26 months (Google default). We delete when no longer needed or you ask.

8. How We Protect Your Data

We use basic security: HTTPS (secure connection), strong passwords, limited access. No perfect security online — we can’t guarantee 100%, but we try hard.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our site is not for kids under 16. We don’t collect from under 16 on purpose. If a child shares info, tell us — we’ll delete it fast.

10. Your Rights (Especially if in EU/UK – GDPR)

You can:

  • See what data we have about you.
  • Fix wrong info.
  • Ask us delete it (“right to be forgotten”).
  • Stop newsletter (unsubscribe link at bottom).
  • Get copy of your data.
  • Complain to your data protection authority (e.g., in EU: local DPA).

Email us at [contact email] to ask. We reply in 30 days (GDPR rule).

11. Links to Other Sites

We link to official Erasmus Mundus pages (eacea.ec.europa.eu), university sites, etc. We are not responsible for their privacy. Check their policies before sharing info there.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this (e.g., new tools or laws). New version posted here with new date. Check back sometimes. Continued use means you accept changes.
