Privacy Policy

Effective: January 2026

What we collect

TradeSchoolOutlook is a read-only research site. We do not sell products, we do not run accounts or logins, and we do not collect any personal information from visitors. The only data we collect is standard anonymous analytics.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate site usage — which pages are popular, where visitors come from, and roughly what device and browser they're on. Google's tracking is anonymized and does not identify individual visitors to us. If you prefer not to be tracked at all, browser-level Do Not Track settings or ad-blocking extensions that block Google Analytics will fully opt you out.

Cookies

We don't set cookies directly. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies for its own session attribution. These cookies contain no personal information and expire according to Google's standard schedule.

Third-party services

The site is hosted on Amazon Web Services (S3 + CloudFront). AWS logs standard access information (IP address, timestamp, requested URL) for security and operational purposes. We don't combine server logs with analytics data.

External links on the site (primarily to College Scorecard, BLS, and source research) are outbound references; once you click them, you're on someone else's site under their privacy policy.

What we don't do

• No email collection, no newsletter signups, no account creation
• No advertising networks, no retargeting pixels, no behavioral advertising
• No data sold to third parties
• No affiliate tracking or referral networks

Your rights

Because we don't collect identifiable personal data, there's nothing to request, correct, or delete on our side. If you'd like Google Analytics to forget you, Google provides an opt-out browser add-on.

Changes to this policy

If we ever add functionality that requires collecting personal data, we'll update this policy with an effective date before the change ships.
