At Scholarshipvv, your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website at scholarshipvv.com, how we use that information, who we share it with, and what choices you have. We have written this in straightforward language so it is easy to understand and not just something we have published to tick a box.
By using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information in the ways described in this policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, please stop using the site. We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to read through it periodically so you always know where things stand.
This policy applies to all pages, articles, guides, and content published on scholarshipvv.com.
Who We Are
Scholarshipvv is a free online scholarship information and educational resource platform published by Scholarshipvv Media, based in Lagos, Nigeria. We do not award scholarships. We research, verify, and publish information about scholarships, grants, fellowships, bursaries, and other funded academic opportunities to help students in Nigeria, Africa, and beyond find and apply for the funding they need.
If you have any questions or concerns about how we handle your personal data, please contact us at support@scholarshipvv.com. We are always happy to help and we will respond as quickly as we can.
About Our Content
All content published on scholarshipvv.com, including scholarship listings, application guides, tips, and editorial articles, is the original work of the Scholarshipvv editorial team. While many of the scholarship opportunities we cover are publicly available, the way we research, write, verify, and present that information is entirely our own work.
All content on this website is copyright of Scholarshipvv Media. No individual, author, user, or third party has any right to reproduce, redistribute, or republish our content without our written permission. Our content does not support or endorse any individual, organisation, or product. It is not intended to harm or misrepresent any person, group, or institution.
What Information We Collect
We collect two types of information. The first is information you give us directly. The second is information that is collected automatically when you visit and use our website.
Information You Give Us Directly
When you contact us by email, submit a scholarship tip or correction, fill in a contact form, or sign up for any email newsletter or notification service we may offer, you share personal information with us such as your name and email address. We only collect what you choose to share with us and we only use it for the reason you shared it.
If you subscribe to our email updates, your email address will be used only to send you scholarship alerts and updates related to Scholarshipvv. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in every email we send.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit Scholarshipvv, certain information is collected automatically through standard web technologies, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the type of browser you are using, your device type, the operating system on your device, the pages you visit on our site, how long you spend on each page, the website that referred you to us, and the date and time of your visit. This information helps us understand how people find and use our content so we can improve it.
Log Files
Like most websites, Scholarshipvv makes use of log files. These are standard records that web servers create automatically every time a visitor accesses a website. The information stored in log files includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring and exit pages, and the number of clicks made during a visit.
We use log file data to analyse trends, administer and improve the site, track how visitors move through our pages, and gather general demographic information. IP addresses and related data stored in log files are not linked to any personally identifiable information. We do not use this information to identify individual users.
Cookies and Web Beacons
Scholarshipvv uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly and to give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.
We use cookies to store information about visitor preferences, to record information about which pages users access or visit, and to customise our web pages based on the browser type or other information that a visitor sends through their browser.
In addition to cookies, some of our advertising partners also use web beacons on our site. Web beacons, sometimes called pixel tags or clear GIFs, are tiny transparent image files that are placed on web pages or in emails. They are used by third-party advertising networks to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements, to track whether an ad has been viewed, and to personalise the advertising content you see when you visit our site or other sites across the internet.
Scholarshipvv does not have access to or control over the cookies and web beacons used by third-party advertisers. You should consult the privacy policies of those third-party ad servers for more detailed information about their practices and how to opt out of certain activities.

More detailed information about managing cookies in specific browsers can be found at the website of whichever browser you use. Please be aware that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website and the services that some of our advertising partners provide.

Cookie Consent for Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland
If you are visiting scholarshipvv.com from a country within the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, please be aware that before any non-essential cookies are placed on your device, you may be shown a cookie consent notice. This is in line with Google’s requirements for publishers serving advertisements to users in those regions and with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
You have the right to accept or decline non-essential cookies, including advertising and analytics cookies. If you decline, some features of the site may not work as intended and you may see non-personalised advertisements instead of personalised ones. Your preference will be recorded and respected during your visit.
Because Scholarshipvv covers scholarships in the United Kingdom, Europe, and other international destinations, some of our visitors will be based in or accessing the site from EEA-covered regions. We take this responsibility seriously and we are committed to handling those visitors’ data in compliance with applicable law.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Scholarshipvv website, to respond to messages and enquiries you send us, to understand how visitors are finding and using our content, to identify and resolve technical issues, to monitor for fraudulent or abusive activity, and to serve relevant advertisements through our third-party advertising partners.
We do not use your personal information to build profiles on individual users for the purpose of selling those profiles to other parties. We do not send unsolicited marketing emails to anyone who has not opted in to receive them from us.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information to anyone. We do not trade your data or share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
We may share your information in the following limited circumstances. We may share data with service providers who help us operate our website, such as hosting companies and analytics providers, but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services on our behalf. We require that these third parties handle your data in line with this privacy policy and applicable law.
We may also share or disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable government request, to enforce our Terms of Service, to detect or prevent fraud or security issues, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Scholarshipvv, its readers, or the public.
If Scholarshipvv Media is ever sold, merged, or restructured in any way, your data may be transferred to a successor entity, but only under terms that continue to protect your privacy in a manner consistent with this policy.
Third-Party Links
Scholarshipvv publishes links to external scholarship websites, university portals, government funding pages, and other third-party sites as part of our scholarship listings and editorial content. When you click on one of these external links and leave our website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.
We have no control over the privacy practices or the content of any third-party websites we link to. We are not responsible for what those websites collect, how they use it, or how they protect it. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any external website before submitting personal information to it.
Data Retention
We keep your personal information only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes described in this policy. If you contact us by email, we may retain that correspondence for as long as is reasonably necessary to respond to your query and to keep a record of communications. Analytics data is typically retained in an aggregated and non-identifiable form.
If you would like us to delete any personal information we hold about you, please contact us at support@scholarshipvv.com and we will respond promptly.
Data Security
We take reasonable and commercially appropriate steps to protect the information you share with us from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data. We encourage you to be mindful of the information you share online and to contact us immediately if you believe your information with us has been compromised.
Children’s Privacy
Scholarshipvv is designed for students and adults seeking scholarship information. Many of our readers are young people, including secondary school students. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at support@scholarshipvv.com and we will promptly take steps to delete that information.
If you are between the ages of 13 and 18, we encourage you to review this Privacy Policy with a parent or guardian before submitting any personal information to us through our contact forms or email.

Depending on where you are located, you may have certain legal rights over your personal data. These may include the right to access the personal information we hold about you, the right to ask us to correct inaccurate information, the right to request that we delete your personal data, the right to object to how we are processing your information, and the right to withdraw consent where you have previously given it.
Residents of the European Economic Area may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Residents of the United Kingdom may have rights under the UK GDPR.
