Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyze site usage. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a set period).
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features on our site.
Third-Party Services
We use third-party services to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. These include:
- Google Analytics: To collect anonymous traffic data and report on website usage patterns.
- Advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense): To display relevant, non-personalized ads based on general browsing behavior. These services may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads, but they do not collect personally identifiable information from our site.
We do not share any personal data with these services, as we do not collect or store such information. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the information we collect. Our website uses standard security protocols, including HTTPS encryption, to safeguard data transmission. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we strive to implement industry-standard practices.
Your Rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected about them
- Request deletion of their personal information
- Opt out of the sale of their personal information
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights
Since we do not sell personal information and do not collect personally identifiable data, these rights do not apply in practice. However, if you believe we have inadvertently collected identifiable information, please contact us immediately.

MFA Degree Hub is intended for general audiences and does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it immediately. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children’s online activities.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
