Privacy Policy for Best CGPA Calculator
Effective Date: April 25, 2026
At BestCGPACalculator.com, accessible from https://bestcgpacalculator.com, the privacy of our student visitors is our absolute highest priority. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal and non-personal information we collect, how we use it to provide our services, and how we strictly safeguard your academic data in compliance with global privacy standards (including GDPR and CCPA).
1. Data Collection & Processing
Academic Data: We DO NOT collect, store, or transmit your personally identifiable academic information. All CGPA and SGPA calculations (such as when using our LUMS or NUST calculators) are processed entirely client-side. Your course names, grades, and credit hours never leave your browser and are never sent to our servers.
Automated Information: Like all standard websites, we automatically collect specific non-personal analytical information when you visit our site to ensure proper functionality and security. This includes:
- IP (Internet Protocol) addresses (anonymized where required by law)
- Browser type, version, and language
- Device type and operating system
- Date and time stamps of your visit
- Referring pages and navigation paths
2. How We Use Analytical Information
The anonymous data we collect is strictly used to:
- Diagnose technical issues and improve calculator response times.
- Understand geographic traffic (to prioritize building calculators for specific countries/universities).
- Ensure website security and prevent malicious bot traffic.
- Deliver relevant advertisements via third-party vendors.
