How The OT Index uses data

The OT Index collects only the information needed to understand site performance, improve decision pages, respond to profile updates, and send requested email updates.

Policy

We use measurement to improve the site, not to sell ranking influence.

Traffic, click, and form data helps us understand which school, salary, exam-prep, career, and tool pages readers actually use. It does not change ranking methodology or editorial conclusions.

Analytics and outbound clicks

We may measure page activity, external link clicks, source-page context, and general browser information so we can improve navigation, source links, and high-intent decision pages.

Email updates

When you join an email list, we store the email address, optional name, segment, role, and the page where the form was submitted. You can ask to be removed at any time.

Profile and partner submissions

When you submit a correction, claim request, source update, or partner note, we store the contact details and message so we can review and respond.

Removal

You can ask us to remove or correct submitted information.

Email us with the address or organization name tied to the request. We may need enough context to verify the request before changing stored contact records.
