Privacy Policy

At GradeifyPro.com ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we handle information when you use our website and academic calculator tools. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection, use, and protection. We believe in providing free, accessible educational tools without compromising student privacy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide: Our calculator tools operate entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. When you enter grades, credit hours, test scores, or other academic information into our calculators, this information is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers, not stored in databases, and not collected by us in any way. We do not require account creation, email addresses, or any personal identifying information to use our tools.

Automatically Collected Information: Like most websites, our web server may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit GradeifyPro.com, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This information is collected through standard server logs and is used solely for website performance monitoring, security purposes, and understanding general traffic patterns. We do not use this information to identify individual users.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies: GradeifyPro.com does not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics purposes. We do not use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) that would track your behavior across websites. Our website is designed to function without requiring cookies. If we implement advertising through Google AdSense in the future, we will update this policy accordingly and provide opt-out mechanisms as required by law.

2. How We Use Information

The limited technical information automatically collected by our web server is used exclusively for:

• Website Operation: Ensuring the website loads properly and functions correctly across different browsers and devices.
• Security: Detecting and preventing malicious activity, spam, or attempts to compromise the website.
• Improvement: Understanding which tools are most popular so we can improve content and add features students find valuable.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not create user profiles or track individual browsing behavior.

3. Data Storage and Security

Because our calculators process all data locally in your browser, your academic information (grades, GPAs, test scores) never leaves your device unless you manually choose to save or share it. We do not maintain databases of user calculations. Any data you enter is temporary and exists only during your browser session—once you close the page or refresh, the data is gone unless you have saved it locally on your own device.

Standard server logs containing IP addresses and technical information are retained for a limited period (typically 30-90 days) for security and operational purposes, then automatically deleted. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect our website infrastructure from unauthorized access.

4. Third-Party Services

GradeifyPro.com is designed as a standalone static website with minimal third-party dependencies. We do not integrate social media tracking pixels, third-party analytics, or advertising networks at this time. Our website loads images from Unsplash.com for educational and illustrative purposes, which may be subject to Unsplash's own privacy policy when those images load. We link to authoritative educational resources (such as university websites and educational organizations) for additional information; these external sites have their own privacy policies that govern your interactions with them.

If we implement Google AdSense or other advertising in the future to support the free provision of these tools, we will update this Privacy Policy to fully disclose how advertising works, what data may be collected by ad networks, and how you can opt out of personalized advertising.

5. Children's Privacy

GradeifyPro.com is designed for high school and college students, which may include users under the age of 13. We are committed to compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Because we do not collect, store, or process personally identifiable information, and because our calculators function entirely within the user's browser without data transmission, our website does not trigger COPPA's data collection restrictions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children of any age. Parents and guardians can feel confident that using our tools does not expose students to privacy risks.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Because we do not collect or store personal information, there is no personal data for you to access, modify, or delete from our systems. You maintain complete control over any data you enter into our calculators because it exists only on your device. If you have privacy questions or concerns, you may contact us using the information provided on our Contact Us page.

Do Not Track Signals: Because we do not track users across websites or over time, Do Not Track (DNT) browser settings do not change how our website functions. We respect your privacy preferences regardless of DNT settings.

7. International Users

GradeifyPro.com is operated from the United States and is intended for users globally who need academic calculation tools. If you access our website from outside the United States, please be aware that any limited technical information collected through standard server logs may be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using our website, you consent to this transfer. We comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or website functionality. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised. Material changes will be prominently posted on our website. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of GradeifyPro.com after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.

9. Contact Information

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us through our Contact Us page. We will respond to privacy inquiries within a reasonable timeframe.
