Information you provide
You can browse the core site without creating an account. If you email a correction or question, we receive the address and information you choose to send. Do not submit Social Security numbers, government IDs, exam login credentials, health information, or other sensitive personal data.
Technical information
After production analytics is enabled, the site may process device type, approximate location derived from IP address, referring page, pages viewed, and interaction events such as official-resource clicks. This information is used to understand performance, prevent abuse, and improve navigation. Credential Atlas does not sell a learner profile.
Advertising and cookies
The launch advertising provider is Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies, local storage, IP address, device identifiers, and browsing information to deliver, measure, limit, or personalize advertising in accordance with consent choices and applicable law. Learn how Google uses information from partner sites.
The owner publisher account is configured. Ad delivery is still subject to Google site review, policy decisions, visitor consent, ad eligibility, and inventory; an eligible page may display no ad.
Consent and regional choices
Credential Atlas uses Google’s certified Consent Management Platform for required European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and applicable U.S. state privacy messages. Visitors can make the choices presented by that platform. Browser settings can also restrict cookies, although some site or advertising features may be affected.
External links
Official-resource links lead to government agencies, credential owners, and independent publishers with their own privacy practices. Credential Atlas does not control those sites.
Retention and security
Correction emails are retained only as long as needed to evaluate the report and document an editorial decision. Aggregated analytics may be retained according to the configured provider settings. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet transmission is completely secure.
Children
Credential Atlas is a general educational resource and is not designed to collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian believes a child submitted personal data, contact us for deletion.
Your requests
Privacy requests and questions may be sent to privacy@thecredentialatlas.com. Mail delivery begins after the owner configures email routing for this domain. We may need to verify a request before acting on it.
Changes
Material policy changes will update the effective date on this page. The policy will be rechecked before advertising or analytics configuration changes.
