Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 31, 2026
At Science GPA Calculator, accessible from sciencegpacalculator.com, the privacy of our visitors is our top priority. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we collect and how we use it to support pre-medical students in their AMCAS application journey.
1. Zero-Data Storage Policy (Client-Side Processing)
Critical Privacy Note: Our calculator is a "client-side" application. All academic data you enter—including course names, credits, and grades—is processed entirely within your own web browser. We do not transmit, save, or store your grades on our servers. Once you close the browser tab or refresh the page, your data is permanently cleared from your local session.
2. Information We Collect Automatically
Like most websites, we collect non-personally identifiable information through log files. This includes:
- Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
- Browser type and version
- Date and time stamps
- Referring/exit pages
This information is used solely for analyzing trends, administering the site, and preventing fraudulent activity.
3. Google Analytics & Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to help us understand how pre-med students use our guides and calculator. This allows us to improve our AMCAS resources. Google uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data. You may opt-out by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Advertising Partners
Third-party vendors, including Google (AdSense), use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. These "DoubleCLick" cookies enable Google to serve ads that are relevant to your interests (e.g., MCAT prep or medical school admissions consulting). You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.
5. GDPR and CCPA Compliance
Depending on your location, you may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Because we do not store personal academic data or identifiable user profiles, our service is "Private by Design." If you contact us via email, your email address will only be used to respond to your inquiry and will not be shared with third parties.
