Privacy Policy

At EZ Grade Calculator (accessible from https://ezgradecal.com/), the privacy of our visitors is of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by EZ Grade Calculator and how we use, disclose, and safeguard it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, please contact us at privacy@gradecalculator.io.

1. Client-Side Processing & Zero Student Data Storage

We firmly believe in privacy-first educational technology. All grade calculations, score fraction evaluations, GPA computations, and final exam estimates performed on EZ Grade Calculator execute entirely inside your web browser (client-side JavaScript).

• We do not collect, transmit, store, or sell student names, test scores, grades, or academic transcripts to remote servers.
• Data entered into the calculator (such as question counts and missed items) remains exclusively on your device. When you close the browser tab or clear your session, that data is completely discarded.

2. Log Files

EZ Grade Calculator follows a standard procedure of using server log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. Like virtually all web servers, our hosting platform collects non-personally identifiable information, which may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (anonymized where required)
• Browser type, device model, and operating system
• Internet Service Provider (ISP)
• Date and time stamps
• Referring and exit pages
• Number of clicks and page response metrics

These logs are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The sole purpose of this information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking technical server errors, and gathering broad demographic insights to maintain site reliability.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other modern website, EZ Grade Calculator uses "cookies". Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store information, including visitors' preferences (such as your chosen Light or Dark theme preference) and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited.

The information is used to optimize user experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type, device viewports, or theme choices.

4. Google DoubleClick DART Cookie & Advertising Partners

Google is a third-party vendor on our site. Google uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve advertisements to our site visitors based upon their visit to https://ezgradecal.com/ and other sites on the internet.

• Users may choose to decline or opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the official Google ad and content network Privacy Policy at the following URL: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
• You can also manage or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance consumer choice tool at www.aboutads.info/choices or Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org.

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons in their respective advertisements and links that appear on EZ Grade Calculator. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.

Note: EZ Grade Calculator has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

5. Third-Party Privacy Policies

EZ Grade Calculator's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective official websites.

If a parent, guardian, or teacher has reason to believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information, please contact us immediately at privacy@gradecalculator.io, and we will promptly remove such information from our records.
