Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 | Last Updated: September 23, 2026

Welcome to Grade-Calculator.tech ("the Website"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparent handling of your data. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect, how it is processed and protected, our use of cookies and advertising partners, and your comprehensive legal rights as a visitor.

By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with any portion of this policy, please discontinue use of our site.

1. About Grade-Calculator.tech

Grade-Calculator.tech provides free, high-performance academic calculators and educational resources designed for students, parents, and educators worldwide. Our suite includes final grade calculators, weighted semester calculators, GPA estimators, reading/study timers, and test preparation resources.

2. Our Commitment to Client-Side Data Privacy

We do not collect, store, or transmit your grades or course data. All calculation routines executed on Grade-Calculator.tech occur strictly on the client-side within your browser using vanilla JavaScript. When you enter assignment names, test percentages, letter grades, or category weights, that data is processed solely in local memory on your device. It is never transmitted across the network, never stored in databases, and never inspected by our servers or any third party.

3. Information We Collect

While our calculators require zero personal registration, we may collect minimal standard data in the following situations:

• Voluntarily Provided Contact & Newsletter Information: If you reach out through our Contact Us form or subscribe to our academic newsletter, we collect the name and email address you provide. This information is securely transmitted to our administrative inbox (junaidwaseem474@gmail.com) and is strictly used to answer your inquiry or deliver requested study guides. We will never sell, lease, or distribute your email address.
• Log Files & Technical Usage Data: Like virtually all web servers and hosting infrastructures, Grade-Calculator.tech utilizes standard log files. The data captured automatically includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts. These data points are not linked to any personally identifiable information and are analyzed purely to assess system health, administer the site, and maintain uptime.
• Cookies and Local Storage: Small text files and local browser caching stored on your device to ensure website speed, remember user theme preferences, and facilitate analytics and compliant advertising.

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as financial account numbers, government identification numbers, medical information, or academic student ID numbers.

4. How We Use Your Information

We utilize the limited information gathered to:

• Operate, troubleshoot, and maintain the functionality of our educational calculators.
• Respond promptly to technical bug reports, feedback, and user questions.
• Analyze anonymous site metrics to understand which calculators and guides provide the most educational value.
• Serve non-intrusive, relevant advertisements through authorized advertising partners to keep all our tools 100% free of charge.
• Protect the website from unauthorized exploitation, spamming, and distributed attacks.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Grade-Calculator.tech employs cookies to deliver a seamless user experience. You have complete control over cookies through your web browser preferences.

We classify cookies used into three primary categories:

• Essential & Performance Cookies: Necessary for standard page rendering, theme toggle persistence, and browser caching of CSS/JS assets (stored for up to 30 days to dramatically decrease mobile data consumption and accelerate load times).
• Analytics Cookies: Placed by Google Analytics 4 to collect aggregated, anonymized metrics on user sessions, device types, screen resolutions, and bounce rates.
• Advertising Cookies: Deployed by authorized ad networks to serve contextual or personalized advertisements based on visitor browsing history.

6. Advertising Partners & Google AdSense Policies

We display third-party advertisements, primarily via Google AdSense, to fund ongoing server maintenance and development.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website and other websites across the internet.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to Grade-Calculator.tech and/or other sites on the internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or through the Network Advertising Initiative at aboutads.info.
• We do not control the direct content of third-party advertisements. For full disclosures on Google's advertising practices, please consult the official Google Privacy & Terms for Advertising.

7. Third-Party Privacy Policies & Analytics Opt-Out

Our Privacy Policy does not apply to external advertisers or other websites. We advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party vendors for comprehensive practices and opt-out instructions.

Google Analytics Opt-Out: You can prevent Google Analytics from utilizing your data across all websites by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

8. Third-Party Links & No Affiliate Endorsements

Grade-Calculator.tech may link to third-party academic portals, universities, open-source libraries, and official grading documentation for supplementary reading. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy policies, terms, or content of those external domains.

No Sponsored or Affiliate Links: We do not engage in affiliate marketing or undisclosed paid sponsorships. All external hyperlinks exist solely for informational convenience.

9. Data Retention Policy

Because calculations are performed client-side, we store zero user calculation logs. Any voluntary communication sent via email or contact forms is kept only as long as necessary to address the correspondence or comply with standard record-keeping obligations, after which it is permanently purged.

10. CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific statutory rights:

• Right to Know: You may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal data collected about you.
• Right to Delete: You may request the deletion of your personal data collected by us.
• Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to direct businesses not to sell or share your personal data. Grade-Calculator.tech does not sell, barter, or commercialize your personal information.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you, diminish tool access, or alter calculation features for exercising your statutory privacy rights.

To exercise any CCPA rights, please submit a request to junaidwaseem474@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

11. GDPR Data Protection Rights

For visitors residing within the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, our processing complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Every European user is entitled to:

• The Right to Access: You can request confirmation of whether your personal data is processed and request copies.
• The Right to Rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal records.
• The Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may request the deletion of personal data under statutory conditions.
• The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request restriction of your data processing under certain circumstances.
• The Right to Object to Processing: You may object at any time to data processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
• The Right to Data Portability: You may request the transfer of your provided data to another organization or directly to you in a structured, machine-readable format.

If you submit a formal GDPR request, we have one month to respond without undue delay.

12. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)

Protecting children online is an absolute priority. While our academic calculators are educational, Grade-Calculator.tech does not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in applicable jurisdictions).

Because our calculators function entirely client-side without registration, student computations remain anonymous. If a parent or guardian believes that a child under 13 has submitted personal contact data via our contact form, please notify us immediately at junaidwaseem474@gmail.com, and we will promptly expunge the data from our records.

13. Data Security Measures

We deploy standard SSL/TLS encryption across Grade-Calculator.tech to ensure that all data transmitted between your browser and our server remains encrypted and protected from interception. While no electronic transmission or digital storage method is 100% invulnerable, our architectural decision to keep grading computations client-side provides the ultimate safeguard against data breaches.

14. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect modifications in legal requirements, browser technologies, or operational practices. When updates are published, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document will be amended accordingly. We encourage users to inspect this page periodically.
