Your Privacy Matters to Us
At Test Grades Calculator, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and calculators. We believe in transparency, so we’ve written this policy in clear, straightforward language.
Information We Collect
Grade Calculation Data: When you use our calculators, you enter information like test scores, assignment grades, credits, and percentages. This data is processed entirely in your web browser and is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere.
Automatic Information: Like most websites, we collect certain technical information automatically when you visit our site. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, and pages you visit. We use this data to understand how people use our site and to improve performance.
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand site usage patterns.
Third-Party Analytics: We use analytics services like Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior and improve our website. These services may collect information about your visit, including pages viewed, time spent on the site, and referring websites.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for several important purposes:
Providing Our Services: To deliver accurate grade calculations and ensure our calculators function properly across different devices and browsers.
Website Improvement: To analyze how visitors use our site, identify popular features, and make improvements that enhance user experience.
Technical Maintenance: To monitor site performance, fix bugs, prevent fraud, and ensure security for all users.
Communication: To respond to your questions, feedback, or support requests when you contact us directly.
Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes when required.
We never sell your personal information to third parties. We don’t use your grade data for marketing purposes or share it with educational institutions, advertisers, or data brokers.
Your Grade Data Privacy
Your academic information remains completely private. All grade calculations happen locally in your browser using JavaScript. When you enter test scores, GPAs, or assignment grades, that information stays on your device.
We don’t have databases that store your grades. We don’t create user profiles based on your academic performance. When you close your browser or leave our site, your calculation data disappears unless you’ve saved it locally on your own device.
This approach ensures maximum privacy. We cannot see what grades you’re calculating or what courses you’re tracking.
Third-Party Services
Our website may use third-party services that have their own privacy policies:
Google Analytics: Helps us understand website traffic and user behavior. Google collects data according to its privacy policy, which you can review on its website.
Advertising Partners: We may display advertisements through third-party networks. These partners may use cookies to show you relevant ads based on your browsing activity.
Content Delivery Networks: We use CDNs to deliver website content faster and more reliably. These services may process technical information about your visit.
While we carefully select our partners, we don’t control their privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies independently.
Cookies and Tracking
We use different types of cookies on our website:
Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functionality. These cookies enable core features like page navigation and access to secure areas.
Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting anonymous usage statistics.
Advertising Cookies: May be used by our advertising partners to show relevant ads based on your interests.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing ones. However, disabling cookies may affect certain website features.

Children’s Privacy
Our website is designed for general audiences and doesn’t specifically target children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent.
If you’re a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. We’ll delete such information promptly.
Students of all ages can use our calculators safely since we don’t require registration or collect personal academic data.
Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect information collected through our website. This includes secure hosting, encrypted connections (HTTPS), and regular security updates.
However, no internet transmission is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use our website at your own risk.
Since we don’t store your grade data on our servers, there’s no centralized database that could be compromised in a security breach.
International Users
Our website is accessible worldwide. If you access our site from outside the country where our servers are located, your information may be transferred internationally.
By using our website, you consent to the transfer of information to countries that may have different data protection laws from those in your country of residence.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we’ll update the effective date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your privacy. Continued use of our website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
