Privacy Policy

How we collect, use and protect your personal data.

1. Who we are

AfterSxtn ("we", "us", "our") operates a platform helping UK students aged 16–21 discover and apply to university courses and apprenticeships. We are the data controller for personal data collected through our website and app.

2. What we collect

Account details — name, email, date of birth, school/college.
Profile information — subjects, predicted grades, interests, location and preferences you add to personalise matches.
Application activity — saved listings, applications submitted through the platform, and messages with providers.
Usage data — device type, pages viewed, and interactions, collected via cookies (see our Cookies policy).

3. How we use it

To match you with relevant courses and apprenticeships and rank results by fit.
To let you apply directly to providers and track application status.
To send service updates, deadline reminders and — only with your consent — marketing emails.
To improve AfterSxtn through aggregated, anonymised analytics.

4. Who we share it with

We share the minimum data needed with universities, employers and training providers when you submit an application through AfterSxtn. We never sell personal data to third parties. Trusted processors (hosting, email delivery, analytics) act only on our instructions and under contract.

5. Under-18 users

Users aged 16–17 can create an account with the same protections as adult users. We don't require parental consent for the core service, but we apply extra safeguards to marketing communications and never share under-18 data with providers without an explicit application action from the user.

6. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, and can object to or restrict certain processing. Contact hello@aftersxtn.com to exercise any of these rights — we respond within 30 days.

7. Data retention

We keep account and application data for as long as your account is active, plus 24 months after closure to support re-applications and legal record-keeping, unless you request earlier deletion.

8. Contact

Questions about this policy: hello@aftersxtn.com. You can also lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
