This Privacy Policy explains what data [Site Name] ("we," "us," "this site") collects when you use our university grade calculators, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it. We've written it to reflect what this site actually does: no account system and calculations stored locally on your device by default.
Who we are
[Site Name] is operated by [Business/Contact Name]. For any privacy query, you can contact us at [Contact Email]. We are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy, for the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What data we collect
Calculator inputs. The marks, weightings, and credits you enter into any calculator on this site are stored locally in your browser only, using local storage. We do not receive, see, or store this data on our servers.
Usage and analytics data. Like most websites, we use analytics tools that collect standard technical information automatically: your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This helps us understand how the site is used and fix problems.
Advertising data. This site displays advertisements served through Google AdSense and its advertising partners. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can find out more about how Google uses this data, and manage your ad personalisation settings, at Google's page on how it uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google's Ads Settings or, for participating networks generally, through www.aboutads.info.
Cookies
This site uses cookies for essential site function, analytics, and advertising as described above. For full details on the specific cookies used, their purpose, and how to manage your preferences, see our Cookie Policy.
Consent for visitors in the UK and EEA
If you're visiting from the UK or European Economic Area, we ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookie, including advertising and analytics cookies, through a consent banner on your first visit.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through that same banner or via your browser settings. Advertising cookies and personalised ads are only set for UK/EEA visitors once you've given consent, in line with Google's EU User Consent Policy.
Why we process your data (legal basis)
Where we rely on cookies or data processing that isn't strictly necessary for the site to function, including analytics and advertising, our legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Where processing is strictly necessary for the site to work as requested, our legal basis is the performance of that specific request.
Your rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to: request access to personal data we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; restrict or object to certain processing; and request your data in a portable format.
Since this site doesn't use accounts, most of these rights apply specifically to cookie-based data, which you can manage directly through your browser or our consent banner. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has been mishandled.
Children's privacy
This site is intended for university students and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us at [Contact Email], and we will delete it.
International data transfers
Some of the third-party services we use (including Google, for advertising and analytics) may process data outside the UK and EEA, including in the United States. Where this happens, those providers maintain appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your data in line with UK GDPR requirements.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we add a new feature or change advertising or analytics providers. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
Contact us
For any questions about this policy or your data, contact us at [Contact Email]. For questions about a specific advertisement, Google's own policies linked above are the most direct route, since we don't control individual ad content or targeting decisions made by the ad network.
