Privacy

This site is run by the College of Graduate Studies at Kuwait University. Applicants, students, faculty members and staff use it to apply for admission, submit and follow requests, order certificates and book appointments.

• Your account: your name, your university or civil ID number, your email address, your mobile number and, for students and faculty members, your academic details from the University's student information system.
• What you submit: applications, requests, forms, messages and the files you upload.
• What happens to it: the decisions taken on your applications and requests, by whom and when.
• How the site is used: when you sign in and from which device, and the pages opened while signed in, to keep accounts safe and the site working.

To do the work you ask for: process admissions and requests, issue certificates, arrange appointments, and tell you what happens.

We do not sell your information or use it for advertising.

The site sends you emails about your account, your applications and your requests.

If you choose, it also sends short WhatsApp notifications to a mobile number you confirm. They only say that something needs your attention or has changed, and they never contain a sign-in link. You can switch them off at any time from your profile; the email is always sent as well.

WhatsApp notifications are delivered through Meta's WhatsApp Business service, which receives your mobile number and the text of the notification. The site does not read or answer messages sent to its WhatsApp number.

The College's staff, and the program directors, faculty members and committee members who take part in handling your application or request, each only as far as their work needs.

Some details are exchanged with Kuwait University's student information system. The companies that deliver a service for the College (email, WhatsApp notifications, card payments) receive only what that service needs.

Records are kept for as long as the University's rules for academic and administrative records require.

Opening them needs a sign-in, what each person sees depends on their role, and important changes are recorded.

• See your details in your profile, and ask the College to correct what is wrong.
• Switch WhatsApp notifications off at any time; your confirmed number can be removed too.
• Ask the College what the site keeps about you.
