This section describes how we handle personal information when you use Upgraded.

To monitor performance, prevent abuse, and debug issues.
To communicate updates when you explicitly contact us.

Your choices

You can export or delete your account data while signed in via GET/DELETE /api/account (session Bearer token; deletion requires confirm=DELETE), or contact us at contact@upgraded.college.

Terms of service

By using Upgraded, you agree to these terms. We may update them; we will refresh the date above when we do.

Use of the product

You use the service for lawful, personal college-planning purposes.
You do not attempt to disrupt, scrape, or misuse the service in ways that harm others or our systems.

You are responsible for activity under your account. Let us know at contact@upgraded.college if you believe your account was compromised.

Disclaimer

Upgraded is still in beta testing and is not yet ready to be used as a standalone resource for college planning; use it alongside official school materials, counselors, and other trusted sources. We work to keep data accurate and up to date, but school-level metrics change and sources differ. You should verify critical details with institutions and official sources. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Upgraded is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.
