Privacy

The short version: the calculators run entirely in your browser. No course, mark or average you enter is uploaded, stored on a server, or sent to us or to anyone else.

What the tools do with your input

• Every calculation happens on the page, on your device, the moment you type.
• No calculator input is transmitted over the network or written to any database.
• Printing or saving a result uses your browser's own print function; the document never passes through us.

The grade tracker record

The grade tracker is the one place on this site where anything is kept — and it is kept only in your own browser, on your own device. The record of your courses and marks is saved in your browser's storage on this device so it is still there when you return; it is never sent to us, never uploaded, and no copy exists anywhere else. It disappears if you clear your browser data, erase it in the tracker, or change devices without exporting — which is why the tracker offers an export file you own, and an import to bring it back. What you do with that file is up to you; anyone you give it to can read it.

Analytics

GradePa is set up to use Google Analytics for anonymous usage statistics (which pages are visited, in aggregate) once its measurement property is configured — the same arrangement the other AH Digital Studio tool sites use, and the reason this paragraph exists. Until that property is configured, no analytics script runs on this site at all. When it does run, it will still never receive anything you enter into a calculator or keep in the tracker: tool inputs and tracker records are not page data, are not sent to the analytics service, and are not used to build any profile. If you block analytics scripts, every calculator works exactly the same.

Advertising

The marked spaces labelled "Advertisement" on some pages are placeholders. No advertising network is connected to this site at the time of writing, so nothing loads in those spaces and no advertising cookies are set by them. If an advertising network is connected later, this page will be updated to name it before the first advert loads. Adverts are never placed inside a calculator, the tracker, or the planner's answer panel.

What the server sees

Like any website, GradePa's hosting receives the ordinary technical record of a page request (the page asked for, the time, and the network address it was sent to). That record is the hosting platform's, is used to serve and protect the site, and contains nothing from inside the calculators or the tracker.

Contact

If you email us, we receive what you send. The contact page explains what to include — and what not to: you never need to send real marks to report a calculation problem.
