Privacy Policy: Your Digital Trust
Effective Date: March 29, 2026
At GradeFlip, we understand that privacy is a fundamental right. As a tool designed for students and educators, we are especially sensitive to the protection of academic and personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to transparency and explains how we handle the data generated during your time on our platform.
The core principle of GradeFlip is "Privacy by Design." We have built our CGPA to percentage converter and other educational tools to function without the need for personal data collection. We want you to feel confident using our services for all your academic needs.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
We take pride in being a non-intrusive service. GradeFlip does **not** require you to create an account, provide an email address, or share your full name to use our conversion tools.
- Academic Records: We do not store the CGPA or GPA values you input into our calculators. Once you refresh the page or close your browser, that data is lost from our system.
- Personal Identity: We do not ask for phone numbers, addresses, or institutional IDs.
- Payment Information: Our tools are 100% free, and we do not collect any financial or credit card data.
2. Information We Automatically Collect
Like most websites, GradeFlip collects certain non-identifying information to improve site performance and user experience. This includes:
- Log Data: Our servers automatically record your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you visit. This helps us troubleshoot technical issues and prevent abuse.
- Usage Analytics: We use tools like Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our site—for example, which conversion scales are most popular. This data is aggregated and anonymized.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
GradeFlip uses minimal cookies to enhance your experience. These tiny files are stored on your device and serve specific purposes:
Theme Preference: We use `localStorage` to remember whether you prefer **Dark Mode** or **Light Mode**. This ensures that the website looks exactly the way you want it every time you return. This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.
Advertising: We may use third-party advertising partners (like Google AdSense) to keep our services free. These partners may use cookies to show you relevant ads based on your interests. You can opt-out of personalized advertising through your browser settings or Google's ad settings.
4. Data Security
Even though we collect very little data, we take the security of that information seriously. GradeFlip uses **HTTPS encryption (SSL)** for all communications between your browser and our servers. This ensures that any data you do input is protected from interception.
5. Third-Party Links
Our articles and guides may contain links to external websites, such as official university portals or educational boards. GradeFlip is not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site you visit.
6. Children's Privacy
Our services are directed to students of all ages. However, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. Your continued use of GradeFlip constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
