1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how CGPA to Percentage Calculator ("we", "us", "our", or "the Site") — operating at cgpapercentagecalculator.com — collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and tools. By using our Site, you agree to the terms described below.
We've designed our tool to work entirely in your browser. Your CGPA entries, calculation history, and grade scale choices never leave your device — we don't send them to any server, store them in any database, or share them with anyone. That said, like most websites, we do use some standard analytics and advertising tools that collect limited information, which we explain in full below.
2. Information we collect
We collect two categories of information:
A. Information you provide
We do not require you to create an account, sign up, or submit personal information to use the calculator. The CGPA values, university selections, and grade scales you enter are processed locally in your browser and are not transmitted to our servers.
If you choose to contact us via our contact page or email, you may voluntarily provide information such as your name and email address. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
B. Information collected automatically
When you visit our Site, certain information is automatically collected by us and by third-party services we use:
- Log data: Your IP address, browser type and version, the pages you visit, time and date of your visit, time spent on pages, and referring URL.
- Device information: Operating system, device type (mobile/desktop), and screen resolution.
- Cookies and similar technologies: Small data files stored on your device. See Section 4 for details.
- Approximate location: General location (country/region) derived from your IP address. We do not collect precise GPS location.
3. How we use information
We use the limited information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve our website and calculator
- Understand how visitors use the Site (which pages are popular, where users get stuck) so we can make it better
- Diagnose technical problems and prevent abuse, fraud, or unauthorized access
- Display relevant advertisements through our ad partners (see Section 6)
- Respond to your inquiries if you contact us
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
4. Cookies & tracking technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Our Site uses the following types of cookies:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality — for example, remembering your last-used grade scale during your session.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand which content is useful and where to improve. These are usually set by Google Analytics or similar services.
- Advertising cookies: Used by our advertising partners (including Google AdSense) to show ads relevant to your interests and to measure ad performance.
5. Third-party services
We rely on a small number of trusted third-party services to operate the Site. Each has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data:
- Google Analytics — to understand site traffic and user behaviour in aggregate. Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google AdSense — to display advertisements. See Section 6 below.
- Google Fonts — to serve the typography you see on the page. Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.
- Our hosting provider — which may automatically log standard server data for security and diagnostics.
We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their independent privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies.
6. Google AdSense and third-party advertising
Our Site uses Google AdSense — a third-party advertising service provided by Google LLC — to display advertisements. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Site and other sites on the internet.
The DART cookie
Google's use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our Site and other sites on the internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie for personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
Third-party vendors and ad networks
Third-party vendors, including Google, may also serve ads on our Site. These vendors may use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies — independent of those used by us — to collect information about your visits to our Site and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
You can opt out of personalized advertising from many networks by visiting:
- Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page
- Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out tool
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (for EU users)
For more information about how Google uses data when you visit partner sites, please visit How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
7. Children's privacy
Our Site is intended for general audiences and is primarily used by college and university students. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 where applicable under GDPR), and our calculator does not require any personal information to function.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details in Section 10 and we will take steps to remove that information from our systems.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Objection: Object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing.
- Portability: Receive your data in a portable format (where applicable).
- Opt-out: Opt out of personalized advertising as described in Section 6.
Since we do not maintain user accounts and the calculator does not store data on our servers, most personal data requests will relate to inquiries you've sent us by email. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address in Section 10.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If we make material changes, we will provide a more prominent notice on the Site.
10. Contact us
If you have questions, comments, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please reach out:
- Email: hello@example.com
- Contact form: Contact page
We aim to respond to all inquiries within 5 business days.
