Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This policy explains what personal information EZGraderCalc.com ("the Site", "we") collects, why, and the choices you have. In short, the grades and scores you type into our calculators never reach us.
Summary in plain language
- The numbers you enter into the calculators stay in your browser. We never receive them.
- We do not sell personal information.
- We collect only the messages you email us and the basic technical logs kept by our hosting provider, plus usage data from Google Analytics.
- You can ask us what we hold about you and ask us to delete it. See "Your rights" below.
Who is responsible for your data
The Site is operated by the operators of EZGraderCalc.com. Where privacy laws such as the GDPR refer to a "controller", that is the operator. For any privacy question or request, email supportezgradercalc@gmail.com.
Calculator data stays on your device
Everything you enter into the calculators, including test scores, wrong-answer counts, current grades, target grades and category weights, is processed by JavaScript in your own browser. It is held in the page's memory while you use it and is cleared when you close or reload the page. We do not save it in cookies, in local storage or on our servers, and we cannot see it.
If you use the Copy, CSV or Print buttons on a chart, the file is created on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
What we collect
- Messages you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you write.
- Server logs. Like any website, our hosting provider automatically records technical data when a page is requested, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the page requested and the time.
- Usage data. Google Analytics records which pages are visited and how the Site performs, such as approximate location, device and browser type, and referring page.
We do not ask for accounts, names, student records or payment details, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information.
Why we use it, and our legal basis
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we need a legal basis for each use of your information:
| Purpose | Information | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Reply to your messages | Email address, name if given, message | Legitimate interests in answering enquiries, or taking steps you ask for |
| Run and secure the Site | Server log data | Legitimate interests in keeping the Site available and secure |
| Understand how the Site is used | Usage data from Google Analytics | Consent where the law requires it, otherwise legitimate interests |
We do not use your information to make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.
Advertising
We do not currently show advertisements on the Site. If we start to, we will update this policy before ads appear and explain how to opt out.
How long we keep it
- Emails to us: as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up, then deleted unless we have a legal reason to keep them.
- Server logs: kept by our hosting provider for a limited period under its own settings.
- Analytics data: kept for the period set in Google Analytics.
International transfers
Our hosting and email providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where the law requires safeguards for such transfers, we rely on the mechanisms our providers offer, such as standard contractual clauses.
Your rights (GDPR and UK GDPR)
If you are in the EEA or the UK, you have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Have inaccurate information corrected.
- Have your information erased.
- Restrict or object to our use of it.
- Receive a copy of information you gave us in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on it.
To use any of these rights, email supportezgradercalc@gmail.com from the address your request concerns. We may need to confirm your identity, and we will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to your local data protection authority.
US state privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA and others)
We do not sell personal information. The categories we may collect are identifiers (such as an IP address in server logs, or your email address if you write to us) and internet activity information, which we use for the purposes described above.
If you live in California or another US state with a comprehensive privacy law, you can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to delete it, or to correct it, and you will not be treated unfairly for using these rights. Email supportezgradercalc@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity, an authorized agent may submit a request for you, and we aim to respond within 45 days.
Children's privacy
The Site is intended for teachers, students and parents. Our calculators do not ask for names or any personal information, so using them does not involve collecting a child's data. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or a higher age where local law requires). If a child has emailed us, a parent or guardian can ask us to delete it by contacting supportezgradercalc@gmail.com.
Security
The Site is served over HTTPS. Because calculator inputs never leave your device, there is no database of your grades for us to protect. We use reasonable measures to protect the limited information we do hold, but no system is completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the Site or the law changes. We will post the new version here and change the "Last updated" date. If a change materially affects how we use personal information, we will make that clear on this page.
