1. Introduction

Welcome to SmartCGPA. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you use our Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

None. SmartCGPA does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use our Service. All calculations are performed locally in your browser.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

We may collect limited technical information through analytics services:

• Browser type and version
• Device type and operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on pages
• Referring website addresses
• General location (country/city level only)

This information is collected anonymously and cannot be used to identify you personally.

3. How We Use Your Information

The limited technical information we collect is used solely to:

• Improve the Service and user experience
• Analyze usage patterns and trends
• Fix technical issues and bugs
• Understand which features are most useful

4. Local Storage

SmartCGPA uses browser local storage to save your calculation history and preferences on your device. This data:

• Remains on your device only
• Is never transmitted to our servers
• Can be cleared at any time through your browser settings
• Is automatically deleted if you clear your browser data

5. Cookies

We use minimal cookies for essential functionality and analytics. These cookies do not store personal information and are used to:

• Remember your preferences (theme, scale settings)
• Analyze website traffic (through analytics services)

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect some functionality.

6. Third-Party Services

6.1 Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to understand how users interact with our Service. These services collect anonymous usage data and do not track personal information.

6.2 Hosting

SmartCGPA is hosted on Netlify. Netlify may collect standard server logs including IP addresses, but this information is not shared with us or used for tracking purposes.

7. Data Security

Since all calculations are performed locally in your browser and we don't collect personal data, there is minimal security risk. However, we implement industry-standard security measures including:

• HTTPS encryption for all connections
• Security headers to prevent common attacks
• Regular security updates and monitoring

8. Your Rights

Since we don't collect or store personal data, there is no personal information to:

• Access or download
• Correct or update
• Delete or erase

You can clear your local calculation history at any time by clicking "Clear All" in the History page or clearing your browser's local storage.

9. Children's Privacy

SmartCGPA is suitable for users of all ages, including students under 13. Since we don't collect personal information, there are no special considerations for children's privacy under COPPA or similar regulations.

10. International Users

SmartCGPA is accessible worldwide. Since all calculations are performed locally in your browser, your data never leaves your device regardless of your location.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
