We built this calculator for Filipino students — your privacy matters to us. This page explains exactly what we collect, why, and how we protect it.

Website: dev-gwa-calculator.pantheonsite.io Last Updated: August 2026 Effective: August 2026

✅

Short version: Our GWA calculators and converters work entirely in your browser. We do not collect your grades, your GWA result, or any personal information when you use our tools. No account is needed. No data is stored.

📋 Information We Collect

GWA Calculator Philippines collects only the minimum information needed to keep the site running. Here is what we may collect and why:

💬 Comments

If you leave a comment, we collect your name, email address, and website (if provided), along with your IP address and browser details to help prevent spam.

🖼 Media Uploads

If you upload images, please remove embedded location data (EXIF GPS) before uploading. Other visitors may be able to extract this data from your images.

📊 Usage Data

We may collect anonymous usage data such as pages visited, browser type, and device type through analytics tools. This data does not identify you personally.

📧 Contact Forms

If you contact us through a form, we collect the information you provide (name, email, message) only to respond to your inquiry.

Calculator tools are 100% private. Your grades, GWA values, and results are never sent to our servers. All calculations happen in your browser only.

🍪 Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience on the site. A cookie is a small file stored on your device. Here is how we use them:

Comment cookies — If you leave a comment, your name, email, and website are saved in cookies for one year for your convenience.

🧮 Calculator and Converter Privacy

This is the most important section for most visitors. When you use any of our tools — GWA Calculator, GWA to GPA Converter, or GWA to Percentage Converter — here is what happens:

All calculations run inside your browser using JavaScript.
Your grades and results are never sent to our servers.
We do not store, log, or share your academic results.
No account or sign-up is needed to use any tool.
Closing the page clears all your entered data permanently.

Your academic data stays with you. We designed our tools this way on purpose — students should not have to worry about their grades being stored or shared anywhere.

🔗 Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services that have their own privacy policies:

Google Analytics — Anonymous traffic and usage data. Google Privacy Policy
Google Fonts — We use Poppins font loaded from Google Fonts servers.
Gravatar — If you leave a comment, an anonymized hash of your email may be sent to Gravatar to check for a profile picture.

Password resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email for security purposes.
