Introduction

We respect the privacy of your personal information and make every effort to ensure it is protected and remains private. As the owner and operator of gpameter.com (the “Website”), hereafter referred to in this Privacy Policy as “GPA Meter”, “us”, “our”, or “we”, we have provided this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, share, and protect information about the users of our Website (hereafter referred to as “user”, “you”, or “your”). We will not use or share your personal information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy informs you about the types of personal data we collect, the purposes for which we use it, the ways the data is handled, and your rights with regard to your personal data. It is also intended to satisfy the obligation of transparency under the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and the laws implementing it.

For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, the Data Controller of personal data is GPA Meter, and our contact details are set out in the Contact section at the end of this Privacy Policy. “Data Controller” means the natural or legal person who (either alone or jointly with others) determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any personal information is, or is to be, processed.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Your Information” or “Personal Data” means information about you, which may be of a confidential or sensitive nature and may include personally identifiable information (“PII”). PII means individually identifiable information that would allow us to determine the actual identity of a specific living person.

GPA Meter is a free calculator tool. You do not need to create an account or sign up to use our calculators. We collect information about you when you use our Website and its calculators, read our blog, contact us, or otherwise interact and communicate with us. The term “Services” includes, collectively, the various pages, calculators, forms, and features of the Website through which you have accessed this Privacy Policy.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we decide to change it, we will inform you by posting the revised Privacy Policy on the Website. Those changes go into effect on the “Last updated” date shown at the end of this Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the Website or Services, you consent to the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this policy for the latest information on our privacy practices.

BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, YOU CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION, TRANSFER, STORAGE, DISCLOSURE, AND OTHER USES OF YOUR INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH OR CONSENT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE OUR SERVICES.

1. Your Data Stays in Your Browser

The grades, credit hours, courses, and other values you enter into our calculators are processed in your browser to display your results. We do not require you to log in, and we do not store the specific grades or course details you enter on our servers as part of an account, because GPA Meter has no accounts. Any calculation data that persists (for example, using your browser’s local storage so your inputs remain when you return) is stored locally on your own device and can be cleared by you at any time through your browser settings.

2. Children's Privacy

GPA Meter does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from persons under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not provide us with information of any kind. If you have reason to believe that we may have accidentally received information from a child under the age of 13, please contact us immediately at [contact@gpameter.com]. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a person under the age of 13, we will delete such information from our records.

3. Information You Provide Directly to Us

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you contact us through a contact form or by email, respond to a survey, or otherwise communicate with us. This information may include, without limitation: your name, email address, and the contents of any message you choose to send us. You are not required to provide this information to use our calculators; you provide it only when you voluntarily choose to reach out to us.

4. Information Collected Automatically Through Your Use of Our Services

When you visit the Website, we (and our third-party providers) may automatically collect certain information using technologies such as cookies, web beacons, and log files (explained below). This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring and exit pages, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, and general usage behavior. This information helps us understand how our Services are being used, administer and improve the Website, and enhance your overall experience.

5. Cookies, Log Files, and Anonymous Identifiers

  1. When you visit our Services, we (or our partners) may send one or more cookies small data files to your device to help the Website function and to understand how it is used. Cookies are text-only pieces of information that a website transfers to your device for record-keeping purposes. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain it came from, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique value.
  2. Session cookies are temporary and remain in your browser only until you leave the Website.
  3. Persistent cookies remain in your browser for longer, depending on the lifetime of the specific cookie.
  4. We may use cookies to measure the total number of visitors to the Website on an anonymous, aggregate basis, to remember your preferences, and to understand how you interact with our Services.
  5. Third parties with whom we partner for example, to display advertising or to measure site performance may use cookies to collect and store information.
  6. Our Website may use analytics and advertising services provided by third parties such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense (or similar providers). These services typically collect information sent by your browser, including cookies and your IP address, and their use of that information is governed by their own privacy policies. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, and you can manage personalized Google ads through Google Ads Settings. To opt out of interest-based advertising from many providers, visit the Network Advertising Initiative or Your Online Choices.
  7. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. Most browsers let you refuse cookies or notify you when a cookie is being set, and let you delete cookies already stored. Consult your browser’s or mobile device’s documentation for instructions. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Website, but some features may not work as intended.
  8. We cannot control the use of cookies by third parties (or the resulting information), and the use of third-party cookies is not covered by this policy.
  9. We automatically collect information about how you interact with our Services and store it in log files, which may include IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. If we link such information with PII in a way that identifies a particular individual, we will treat all such information as PII for purposes of this Privacy Policy.
  10. When you use our Services, we may employ web beacons (also known as clear GIFs or tracking pixels) to anonymously track online usage patterns. No personally identifiable information from you is collected using these web beacons.

6. Device Information

When you use our Services through a computer, mobile phone, or other device, we may collect information related to your device, such as device type, operating system version, browser type, and basic usage information such as date and time of access. We may also store information locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage.

7. Location Information

We may derive your approximate location from your IP address in order to understand our audience and serve relevant content or advertising. We do not collect precise GPS location data through the Website.

8. Advertising

To keep GPA Meter free, this Website may display advertising served by third-party advertising partners (for example, Google AdSense or similar ad networks). These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to serve advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. The information practices of these advertising partners are governed by their own privacy policies. You can learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt out via the Network Advertising Initiative and Your Online Choices.

9. How We Use the Information We Collect

Our primary purpose in collecting and using your information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. We use the information we collect in order to:

  1. Consent: for example, where you have consented to cookies or to receiving communications from us;

  3. Performance and support: to respond to your requests, resolve technical issues, and provide customer support;
  4. Legal compliance: where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, such as responding to a lawful request from a regulatory agency or law enforcement.

11. How We Share the Information We Collect

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information we collect as described in this Privacy Policy, including:

  1. With third-party service providers (such as hosting, analytics, and advertising providers) who need access to such information to perform services on our behalf and who are obligated to protect it;
  2. In response to a lawful request by a competent authority, or where disclosure is required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process;
  3. To protect the rights, property, or safety of GPA Meter, our users, or others, or to enforce our terms and policies;

  5. In an aggregated or de-identified form that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

12. Analytics Services Provided by Others

We may allow others to provide audience measurement and analytics services, to serve advertisements on our behalf across the internet, and to track and report on the performance of those advertisements. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, software development kits (SDKs), and other technologies to recognize your device when you visit our Website and when you visit other online sites and services.

13. Protective Measures We Use

We protect your information using commercially reasonable technical and administrative security measures to reduce the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, and alteration. Although we take measures to secure information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your information will always remain secure. We cannot guarantee that information you transmit over the internet will not be intercepted. If any information under our control is compromised as a result of a security breach, we will take reasonable steps to investigate and, where appropriate, notify affected individuals in accordance with applicable law.

14. Links to Third-Party Websites

Our Services may contain links to websites operated by third parties that are beyond our control. Links to third parties are not an endorsement by us of those parties or their websites, products, services, or practices. We are not responsible for the privacy policies, terms, practices, or content of such third parties, and they may send their own cookies to you and independently collect data. We encourage you to read the privacy policies and terms of any third-party website before providing any personal information.

15. Do Not Track Settings

Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. We do not currently respond to DNT signals. If we do so in the future, we will describe how in this Privacy Policy.

16. International Data Transfers

To provide our Services, we may store and process your personal information in the United States or other countries that may have data protection laws different from those in your country of residence. If you reside or are located outside of these countries, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in them. Where such transfers occur and you reside in the European Economic Area, we take appropriate steps to protect your information consistent with applicable law. By using our Services, you consent to the transfer and processing of your personal information as described.

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you.
