Last Updated: April 2026

The Dissertation Compass is committed to respecting your privacy. This policy explains what information is and is not collected when you visit this website.

Static Website – No User Data Collected

The Dissertation Compass is a 100% static website. This means:

No accounts or logins. There is no user registration system on this site.
No forms or email collection. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other personal information through this website.
No cookies set by this site. The Dissertation Compass does not set any first-party cookies on your device.
No databases. There is no server-side application or database storing information about visitors.

You can browse every page, read every guide, and download every template on this site without providing any personal information whatsoever.

Third-Party Services

While this site itself does not collect personal data, we may use the following third-party services that operate under their own privacy policies:

This site may use a third-party analytics service (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative) to understand general traffic patterns, including which pages are most visited, how visitors find the site, and what devices and browsers are commonly used. If analytics are active, the service may use cookies or similar technologies subject to its own privacy policy. No personally identifiable information is intentionally collected through analytics.

Font and Asset Hosting

This site may load fonts or other assets from third-party content delivery networks (such as Google Fonts or similar services). When your browser requests these assets, the third-party provider may receive your IP address and basic browser information as part of the standard HTTP request. These providers operate under their own privacy policies.

Downloads

Templates, checklists, and other downloadable resources are served directly from this website. No registration, email address, or personal information is required to download any resource. Downloads are not individually tracked or associated with any visitor identity.

The Dissertation Compass contains links to external websites, including sites within the Subthesis ecosystem such as Subthesis.com, Study Healthcare Theory, Grant Writing Consultant, Public Health Practicum, and CHES Study Guide. Each of these websites operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any external site you visit.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites linked from this site.
