Your information, handled with care

If you browse without an account, we collect no personal details. Our servers record normal technical information about each visit, such as the pages requested.

If you create a student account, we store the details you give us: your name, date of birth, mobile number, email address, your password (stored only in scrambled, hashed form), and your education details and preferences if you fill them in. We also store the programs and institutes you save.

If you send us a message through the Contact page, we store your name, email address and the message so we can reply.

• To run your account and keep you logged in.
• To suggest programs that match your preferences and to show your saved items and deadlines.
• To verify your email or mobile number and to help you reset your password.
• To answer your messages and to keep the service secure.

We do not sell your personal information.

When you log in we use one essential cookie to remember your session. It is needed for the site to work and is not used for advertising. If analytics is switched on, we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, which sets its own cookies. The site may also show advertising banners or ad-network code, which may set cookies of its own.

We share information only with the service providers that help us run Dost.pk (for example hosting and database providers), and where the law requires it. When you tap "Apply", you leave Dost.pk for the institute's own website, which has its own privacy policy.

• You can see and change your details any time in My profile.
• You can turn off notification channels in your notification settings.
• To have your account and data deleted, contact us.

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page.
