Who is responsible
GrabYourChance is created and operated by Ajay Thakral, who is responsible for the personal information described in this policy.
Information we process
Account data may include name, email, verification status, age group, policy acknowledgements, and security metadata. Optional student-profile data may include school level, GPA, scores, interests, location, activities, financial-need range, demographic information, and goals. Workspace data can include saved scholarships, notes, tasks, application statuses, searches, and AI prompts.
Do not enter Social Security numbers, bank credentials, government identification numbers, medical records, or other highly sensitive information. GrabYourChance does not need those items to match scholarships.
How information is used
- Authenticate accounts and send verification or password-reset messages.
- Personalize search, matching, deadline planning, and application tools.
- Show in-app reminders for saved scholarship deadlines.
- Operate, secure, debug, and improve the service.
- Generate AI responses requested by the user and detect abuse.
AI and internet-assisted discovery
When you use AI features, the prompt and relevant profile or catalog context may be processed by Base44’s AI services and, when live discovery is enabled, internet-search services. Do not include sensitive personal data in prompts. AI output can be incomplete or wrong and must be checked against official provider pages.
Children and minors
You must be 12 or older to create your own GrabYourChance account. Users aged 12 to 17 must have parent or guardian knowledge and approval, and a parent or guardian must approve every scholarship application they plan to submit.
Children under 12 may use GrabYourChance only through a parent or legal guardian’s account. In that case the adult is the account holder and is responsible for the account, its data, and all activity. We do not knowingly create accounts for children under 12. If we learn that a child under 12 created an account without a parent or guardian, we may restrict the account and delete the data. A parent or guardian may contact us to review, correct, or delete a child’s information.
Sharing and third parties
Information may be processed by infrastructure, authentication, email, analytics, security, and AI providers needed to run the service. We do not authorize those providers to use data for unrelated purposes. When you leave GrabYourChance for a scholarship provider, that provider’s privacy policy applies.
We never sell student data. We may disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the service, or in a business transfer subject to appropriate safeguards.
Retention and security
We retain data while an account is active and as reasonably needed for service, security, dispute, and legal obligations. Reasonable technical and organizational protections are used, including email confirmation and per-user access controls, but no system can guarantee perfect security.
Your choices
You can browse public listings as a guest, choose whether to create a profile, edit optional profile fields, and request access, correction, or deletion. Signed-in users can permanently delete their account from the Profile page after password re-authentication and an emailed verification code. The active account and user-owned planning records are removed immediately after confirmation, while limited backup, security, or legally required records may be retained only as permitted by law.
Policy changes and contact
Updates will be posted with a new date and material changes may require renewed acknowledgement. Use the in-app reporting tools for privacy questions while a dedicated privacy contact address is being established.
