🔒 Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 21, 2026
Welcome to HSC GPA Calculator (accessible from hscgpacalculator.com). Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how it is processed, and your rights regarding data security when using our services.
1. Information We Collect
We believe in minimal data collection. Our tools run dynamically in your browser:
- Local Grade Data: Any subject marks or grades you input into the calculator are processed client-side inside your browser. We do not transmit, collect, or store your personal marks on our backend servers.
- Theme & Local Preferences: We use your browser's local storage (`localStorage`) solely to store preferences such as your Dark Mode display setting.
- Log Data & Analytics: Standard server logs automatically record non-personally identifiable technical information (such as browser type, device details, IP address, and page request timestamps).
2. Cookies and Advertising Disclosures
HSC GPA Calculator uses cookies and third-party script integrations to optimize site performance and deliver advertisements:
- Google Analytics (GA4): We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and visitor behavior patterns. Google Analytics collects anonymized interaction data via cookies.
- Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
3. Third-Party & External Links
Our website may contain third-party links or recommendations. If you click on an external link, you will be redirected to that third party's website. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or policies of external platforms.
4. Data Protection & Security
We prioritize the security of your interaction with our tool. All connections are encrypted via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/TLS HTTPS protocol). Since core academic calculations take place locally inside your browser, sensitive personal grade submissions are never exposed to remote network databases.
5. Children's Privacy
HSC GPA Calculator provides general educational calculation tools suited for students. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has provided personal information on our site, please contact us immediately so we can remove such records.
6. Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological updates or legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated revision date.
