Privacy & Cookie Policy

Hey there! This notice explains how our website protects your privacy and uses cookies. We take your privacy seriously and want to be clear about what information we collect and how we use it.

What We Collect:

  • Just Browsing? (Cookies): Even if you visit our website without signing up, we use cookies to understand how people use it (like which pages are most popular). These cookies don't collect any personal information about you - think of them like website footprints. We also use unique identifiers to track things like your device and browsing time (again, no personal details!).
  • Want More Personalised Content? (Career Quiz): To personalise your experience and create content that hits the mark, we collect some additional information:
    • User Type (student, parent, teacher, others): This helps us tailor content to your specific needs, whether you're a student seeking guidance, a parent looking for support, or an educator searching for tools.
    • Nickname: We use your nickname for a friendly greeting and personalised touch.
    • Age: Knowing your age helps us determine what content will be relevant to you and understand what kinds of content to add in the future.
    • Type of School (public, private, international): Helps us tailor content and resources, recognising that pathways may differ based on your educational background e.g. IGCSE vs SPM.
    • Part-Time Work & Number of Cars in Family: Sharing this information helps us understand your background. These indicators help us ensure we reach the right audience and create resources that address the real challenges and choices you face after SPM.
    • Plans After SPM: Knowing your aspirations (further studies or immediate work) allows us to develop even better content aligned with your goals.
  • Want Updates on WhatsApp? (Sign Up): Signing up for WhatsApp updates will directly link you to our WhatsApp chat. This means we'll obtain your phone number once you send your first message and your WhatsApp username (so we can send you updates!). We'll also ask for your preferred language and user type to tailor updates to your interests. We DON'T collect any other personally identifiable information during signup. Additionally, you can unsubscribe from WhatsApp updates at any time.

About Cookies:

We use two types of cookies:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website's basic functionality, like letting you navigate properly. You don't need to worry about these; they're used automatically.
  • Non-Essential Cookies (Analytics & Personalisation): These cookies help us understand how people use our website (which helps us improve it!). They track things like visited pages and browsing time. Think of them like a website assistant telling us what works and what doesn't. These cookies also help personalise your experience (like remembering your language preference).

Who Might We Share Your Information With?

We may need to share your personal information with other people or companies, such as:

  • Companies that we work with to help us understand how people use our website;
  • Experts and governmental bodies who help us comply with the law; and
  • Any other person where the law requires us to share your personal information.

Control Over Your Information:

You can always control your cookies! Most browsers let you choose which cookies to accept and delete. You can also choose not to sign up for WhatsApp updates if you do not want to share your phone number.

If You're Under 18:

In Malaysia, if you're under 18, you must obtain permission from a parent or guardian before sharing any personal information online, including signing up for WhatsApp updates. By using this website and Schola’s WhatsApp service, you confirm that you have obtained such permission.

Protecting Your Personal Information:

We make sure your personal information is kept safe and secure. We follow the law and make sure that steps are taken to protect your personal information. When we work with other people or companies, we make sure they also keep your information safe and secure.

We will also keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or if we are required to do so by law.

More Info & Data Removal:

If you have any questions about this notice or your privacy, feel free to contact us at [email protected]. We're always happy to help! You can also contact us at this email address if you want to access or update your personal information, or if you want it removed from our system.

Our Commitment to Privacy: We comply with the relevant data protection laws to ensure your data privacy.
