VISAPrep does not require you to create an account, register, or submit your name or email address to use any feature of this site, including all free tools and PDF/DOCX downloads.
1b. Tool inputs stored locally
Our interactive tools (Visa Checklist Generator, Cover Letter Generator, etc.) save your inputs using your browser's localStorage. This data is stored only on your own device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

This data is aggregated and anonymized. We do not have access to any personally identifiable information through Google Analytics. See Google's privacy policy for details.

Some links on this site are affiliate links to third-party services (including Wise, SafetyWing, and NordVPN). If you click these links and make a purchase or sign up, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. All affiliate links are marked with rel="nofollow sponsored".
When you click an affiliate link, the third party may set their own cookies to track the referral. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data

We do not store personal data on our servers. Analytics data in Google Analytics 4 is retained for 14 months by default. localStorage data on your device has no expiry and persists until you clear your browser data.
