Privacy Policy

The Short Version

What Information We Collect

Information You Provide

If you use our contact form, we collect the information you submit: your name, email address, and message content. This is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We don't add you to marketing lists or share your contact information with third parties.

Calculator Data

When you use our calculators (GPA calculator, final grade calculator, etc.), all calculations happen locally in your web browser. We don't transmit or store your grades, course names, or calculation results on our servers. When you close the page, that data is gone.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we automatically collect some technical information when you visit:

• Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
• Your general location (country/region level, not precise)
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Referring website (how you found us)

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use GradePilot. This helps us see which tools are popular, which pages might be confusing, and how we can improve the site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information.

You can learn more about how Google uses data at Google's Privacy & Terms page.

Advertising

GradePilot may display advertisements to help cover hosting costs and keep the site free. If we enable advertising (such as through Google AdSense), third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to GradePilot and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also visit aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. GradePilot and our service providers use cookies for:

• Essential functions: Remembering your theme preference (light/dark mode)
• Analytics: Understanding how visitors use the site
• Advertising: Serving relevant ads (if ads are enabled)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality.

Third-Party Links

GradePilot may contain links to external websites. We're not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. When you leave GradePilot, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Children's Privacy

GradePilot is designed for students of all ages. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 beyond what's automatically collected through analytics. Our calculators don't require any personal information to use.

Data Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all connections to GradePilot. Since we don't store your calculation data, there's no database of grades to protect. Contact form submissions are handled securely.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy occasionally. Significant changes will be noted with an updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of GradePilot after changes means you accept the updated policy.
