Privacy policy
Last updated: 14 October 2026
The short version: we collect as little as we can, we never sell it, and analytics only runs if you say yes.
Who we are
Never Graduate runs nevergraduate.org, a self-study platform for every age. When this policy says "we" or "us", it means Never Graduate. You can reach us about anything in this policy at hello@nevergraduate.org.
What we collect, and why
When you join the waitlist
We collect your email address and the age you picked on the ruler. We use your email to tell you when we launch and to send occasional updates about Never Graduate. We use the age, together with everyone else's, to understand who is interested so we can write the right lessons. The form is handled by Formspree, which also records technical details such as your IP address and browser to block spam.
When you allow analytics
If you answer "Present" on our cookie note (or switch analytics on in your cookie settings), we use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. It collects information such as the pages you view, how you arrived, your device and browser type, and your approximate location (city or country, worked out from your IP address). Google Analytics doesn't store your full IP address. If you don't allow analytics, Google Analytics doesn't load at all.
When you visit any page
- Hosting: our website is served by Cloudflare, which processes your IP address and request details to deliver pages and protect the site from attacks.
- Fonts: our typefaces load from Google Fonts, so your browser sends your IP address to Google when it fetches them.
- Your settings: your browser stores your light or dark mode choice and your cookie choice, so we don't ask again. These stay on your device and aren't sent to us.

Cookie settings
Analytics is currently not set. You can change this at any time. If you turn analytics off, we delete its cookies from this browser.
Who we share it with
We don't sell your information, and we don't use it for advertising. We only share it with the services that help us run the site:
- Formspree, to receive and store waitlist signups
- Google, for Google Analytics (only with your permission) and Google Fonts
- Cloudflare, to host and protect the website
These services are based in, or process data in, countries including the United States. We'll also share information if the law requires us to.
How long we keep it
- Waitlist details: until you ask us to remove you, or until we no longer need them to tell you about Never Graduate.
- Analytics data: up to 14 months, then Google deletes it automatically.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- tell you what information we hold about you
- correct it
- delete it, including removing you from the waitlist
- stop using it, by withdrawing your consent at any time
Email hello@nevergraduate.org and we'll reply within 30 days. If you're in India, you have these rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and can raise a grievance with us first, then with the Data Protection Board of India. If you're in the EU or UK, you also have rights under the GDPR, including the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Never Graduate is for learners of every age, but we don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 without a parent's or guardian's consent. If you're under 18, ask a parent or guardian to join the waitlist for you. If you think a child has signed up without permission, email us and we'll delete their details.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If the change is significant, we'll tell people on the waitlist by email.
