Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how grades-calculator.us (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our free grade calculators and related guides. Our website is operated by Muhammad Umer Shuaib from the United States and serves a primarily US-based audience of students, parents, and teachers.

By using grades-calculator.us, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Information We Collect

We keep data collection to a minimum. Our calculators run entirely in your browser — you do not need an account, and we do not ask you to sign up to use any tool on this site. The grades and numbers you enter into a calculator are processed on your own device and are never sent to or stored on our servers.

We collect the following limited information:

  • Contact form information: If you email us or use our contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this only to respond to you.
  • Analytics data: We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are visited and for how long. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: We and our advertising partners use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. You can manage your cookie choices at any time through our cookie consent banner.

How We Use Information

  • To operate and improve our calculators, guides, and website content.
  • To respond to your questions and messages.
  • To analyze site usage and fix technical problems.
  • To display advertising that keeps the site free (see “Advertising” below).
  • To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on grades-calculator.us. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info/choices.

Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for essential site functions, remembering your preferences, analytics, and advertising. For a full list of cookie categories and how to control them, please read our Cookie Policy. When you first visit the site, our consent banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies.

Your US Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live in the United States, you may have specific privacy rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA, and similar laws in Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, and other states. These rights may include:

  • Right to know: what personal information we collect and how we use it.
  • Right to delete: request deletion of personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to opt out: of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising (for example, via advertising cookies). You can exercise this through our cookie consent banner or by contacting us.
  • Right to non-discrimination: we will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@grades-calculator.us. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

Our calculators are general-audience tools, but we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. We do not require any personal information to use the calculators. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us personal information, please contact us at info@grades-calculator.us and we will delete it promptly.

Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including HTTPS encryption across the site. Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to handle your request. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics’ standard retention settings.

Third-Party Links

Our pages may link to external websites (for example, Google’s opt-out tools or our author’s academic profiles). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please review their policies separately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will always show the latest revision, and continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
