All third parties are required to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we authorize.

5. Comments and Contact Form

When visitors submit our contact form or leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the form, along with your IP address and browser details to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

6. Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from such images.

7. Cookies

Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience.

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last one year.
  • If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, we set cookies to save your login and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days; display cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved, expiring after one day.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work properly.

8. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor visited that other site directly.

These third parties may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content — especially if you are logged in to those services.

9. How Long We Keep Your Data

  • Inquiry data (contact form submissions): retained for up to 2 years.
  • Client application data (visa, admission documents): retained for up to 7 years after the service is completed, in line with educational and immigration record-keeping practices.
  • Comments and their metadata: retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
  • User account information (if you register): stored until you request deletion.

You may request earlier deletion at any time (see Section 11).

10. How We Protect Your Data

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including:

  • SSL encryption on our website
  • Secure storage of physical and digital documents
  • Limited staff access to sensitive client data
  • Confidentiality agreements with our team

However, no online transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to share highly sensitive documents through secure channels only.

11. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct any inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements)
  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time
  • Receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you
  • Lodge a complaint with the relevant authority if you believe your rights have been violated

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@edspheres.com.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

12. Where Your Data Is Sent

Because we help you apply to universities and embassies abroad, your data may be transferred to countries outside Pakistan (including the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and European nations). These transfers are necessary to deliver the services you’ve requested.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

13. Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for prospective students aged 16 and above. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16 without parental or guardian consent. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us.

14. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (partner universities, embassies, blogs). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before sharing any information.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
