Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 11, 2026 • Effective: September 11, 2026

At onlinecgpaconverter.com, your privacy matters. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices. Our core tools — GPA Converter, GPA Calculator, Transcript Builder — run entirely in your browser. Your grades never leave your device unless you explicitly share them.

TL;DR Summary

  • No account, no grades stored: Calculations happen locally in your browser.
  • No selling data: We do not sell personal information.
  • Minimal analytics: We may use privacy-friendly analytics to improve the site.
  • You control cookies: You can block or clear them anytime.

1. Who We Are

Online CGPA Converter (onlinecgpaconverter.com) provides free educational tools: GPA Converter to 4.0/5.0 scale, CGPA to GPA converter, percentage to GPA converter, weighted GPA calculator, college GPA calculator, semester & cumulative GPA calculators. This policy applies to all pages under onlinecgpaconverter.com.

Contact for privacy questions: Contact Us or email privacy@onlinecgpaconverter.com.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

We only receive personal information if you voluntarily provide it:

  • Contact form messages — name, email, and message content when you use Contact Us.
  • Custom grading scales — optionally saved in your browser's localStorage or via URL hash when you build a custom scale. Not sent to our servers.

2.2 Information Processed Locally (Not Collected)

The following never leaves your device and is not transmitted to us:

  • Grades, CGPA, GPA values, credits, course names entered in Converter / Calculator / Semester Planner
  • Transcript images scanned in Transcript Scanner (processed in-browser)
  • Transcript PDFs generated via Transcript Builder (generated client-side with jsPDF)

2.3 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit the site, standard technical data may be logged by our hosting provider or analytics:

  • IP address (anonymized where possible), browser type, device type, operating system
  • Pages visited, time on page, referring URL, approximate region (country/city)
  • We do not use this data to identify you personally — it is aggregated for performance & error monitoring.

3. Cookies & Local Storage

We use minimal local storage and cookies:

  • Theme preference (theme in localStorage) — remembers light/dark mode.
  • Custom grading systems — stored in localStorage so your custom scales persist.
  • Analytics cookies (if enabled) — to understand which tools are most used. You can disable these in your browser settings without affecting core functionality.

We do not use advertising tracking cookies or fingerprinting. Blocking cookies will not break the converter/calculator.

4. How We Use Information

  • To provide and maintain the GPA conversion & calculation tools
  • To respond to your inquiries via the contact form
  • To improve site performance, fix bugs, and understand aggregate usage (e.g., which scales are most converted)
  • To comply with legal obligations if required

We do not use your data for personalized advertising or automated profiling.

5. Third-Party Services

We limit third parties and choose privacy-respecting options:

  • Hosting / CDN — The site is served via a static host. Server logs may temporarily contain IP and request logs for security.
  • Fonts — Google Fonts (Inter, Geist Mono) loaded via fonts.googleapis.com. Refer to Google Privacy Policy.
  • Analytics — If we deploy analytics (e.g., Plausible, Cloudflare Web Analytics or Google Analytics in privacy mode), it will be configured to anonymize IPs and respect Do-Not-Track.

No third party receives your entered grades.

6. Data Retention

  • Browser-local data (theme, custom scales, calculator rows) stays on your device until you clear browsing data / localStorage.
  • Contact messages are retained only as long as needed to respond and for a reasonable period thereafter, then deleted.
  • Server logs are retained for up to 30–90 days per hosting provider defaults, then automatically rotated.

7. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

8. International Users & GDPR / CCPA Rights

We serve students worldwide. Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Data portability
  • Opt-out of sale (we do not sell data) / non-discrimination

To exercise rights, email privacy@onlinecgpaconverter.com or use Contact Us. We will respond within 30 days.

Legal basis (EEA/UK): Consent (when you submit contact form), Legitimate Interest (aggregate analytics to improve service), Legal Obligation (if required by law).

9. Security

We use HTTPS, hardened headers, and keep dependencies updated. Since calculations are client-side, the most sensitive data — your grades — is never transmitted, which is the strongest protection. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. Avoid entering highly sensitive identifiers (e.g., full student ID, government IDs) into any online tool, including ours.

10. Links to Other Sites

Our site may link to university grading pages or external evaluators (e.g., WES). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before providing them data.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law or features. We will post the new date at the top and, for material changes, highlight them on the homepage for 7 days. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
