Plain-English summary: Admission Chance UK is a free calculator tool that respects your privacy. We don't require accounts, and we don't collect any personal data except your IP address, which we temporarily store for security purposes (deleted within 30 days). Everything you enter into our calculator (or other pages) stays on your device in your browser's local storage. We do not ask you for your A-Level grades, UCAS ID, name, or any academic record — the calculator inputs exist only in your browser and are never sent to us.
Jurisdiction Notice: This website is operated from England, United Kingdom. Using the ICO's self-assessment tool, we have determined that our current data processing activities fall within an exempt category under the Data Protection (Charges and Information) Regulations 2018, and that registration with the Information Commissioner's Office is not currently required. This is a self-assessment, as the ICO does not issue confirmations of exempt status. Should our processing activities change, we will reassess, register if required, and update this policy accordingly. This policy has been drafted to comply with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Intended Audience: Admission Chance UK is designed for applicants to UK universities, including UK home applicants, Scottish home applicants, rest-of-UK applicants, and international applicants. The Service is publicly accessible worldwide and is not directed specifically at any jurisdiction outside the UK. It is not intended for applicants to US or other non-UK institutions; content and data relate solely to UK university admissions and A-Level offers.
We collect minimal data from our visitors:
Aside from the IP addresses noted above, we do not collect, store, or process any personal information such as names, email addresses, UCAS IDs, or academic records.
We do not use your data for targeted advertising, to build profiles, or for any purpose unrelated to providing our service.
Under UK GDPR: We process the limited data we collect (IP addresses) based on:
Our website is suitable for all ages and does not require age verification, since the only data we collect (temporary IP addresses) is not used to identify or verify a user's age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
We retain IP addresses in server logs for a maximum of 30 days, after which they are automatically deleted. This retention period is necessary for security monitoring and abuse prevention.
Any data stored in your browser's local storage remains under your control and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
We take reasonable measures to protect the limited data we collect:
Our website is hosted with Render, which uses cloud infrastructure based in the United States. Cloudflare also processes visitor data (including IP addresses) for security purposes at their global edge network. This means that IP addresses may be transferred to and processed in the United States. We take steps to ensure that any international transfers of personal data are subject to appropriate safeguards as required by UK data protection law.
In the unlikely event of a data breach involving personal information, we will assess the situation and take appropriate steps as required by UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, including notifying the ICO and affected individuals where necessary. However, since the only personal data we collect is IP addresses in server logs (retained for 30 days maximum), the risk of a meaningful data breach is extremely low.
Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Since we collect minimal data (only IP addresses in server logs, retained for 30 days maximum), most privacy requests can be handled simply. You may contact us at [email protected] to exercise any of these rights.
Note on IP addresses: We retain IP addresses in server logs for a maximum of 30 days for security purposes. Due to the nature of security logs, we may not be able to manually delete individual IP addresses before the automatic deletion. However, this data is automatically purged on schedule and is never used for any purpose other than security.
Right to complain: You have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). You can contact them at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/ or by calling 0303 123 1113.
This Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal data. It does not cover the accuracy, completeness, or currency of the university, course, and admissions content displayed on the site — including typical offers, required subjects, admissions tests, interview requirements, offer rates, fee-status rates, UCAS deadlines, and any per-course/per-university research notes or "Key note" annotations.
Some of that content is compiled from public sources (UCAS, university admissions pages) together with the author's own informal research observations. It may be incomplete, outdated, or simply wrong, and research notes are not provided for every course or university. For the full disclaimers covering this content, see our Terms of Service (in particular §3 and §3.1 "Research Notes & Annotations").
None of that content is linked to you personally, and the calculator does not send your inputs to us — so this content has no privacy implications for you; it is mentioned here only so you know where to find the accuracy disclaimers.
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
