Privacy Policy

At CGPA Global, we believe privacy is a fundamental part of earning our readers' trust. Whether you're using our CGPA calculators, reading our educational guides, exploring scholarship opportunities, or contacting us with questions, we want you to understand what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, and protected when you visit cgpaglobal.cloud. By continuing to use this website, you agree to the practices described below.

Who We Are

CGPA Global is an independent educational website founded by Borni Franklin. Our goal is to help students, graduates, educators, and professionals understand international grading systems, convert academic scores accurately, prepare stronger university applications, and make informed educational decisions.

We publish free educational resources, country-specific grading guides, scholarship articles, study-abroad content, and academic calculators. We do not sell your personal information, and protecting your privacy is one of our core responsibilities.

Information We Collect

The type of information we collect depends on how you interact with CGPA Global. Some information is voluntarily provided by you, while other information is collected automatically to help us operate and improve the website.

Information You Provide

You may voluntarily provide information when:

• Submitting a contact form.
• Posting a comment on an article.
• Reporting an error or requesting a correction.
• Communicating with us by email.

Depending on the situation, this information may include:

• Your name.
• Email address.
• Message content.
• Comment text.
• Any additional information you voluntarily provide.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most modern websites, our servers automatically collect certain technical information whenever you visit CGPA Global. This helps us maintain website security, understand visitor behaviour, improve performance, and diagnose technical issues.

• Browser type and version
• Device type
• Operating system
• Approximate geographic location (country or region)
• Pages visited
• Referral sources
• Date and time of your visit
• Anonymous usage statistics
• IP address where necessary for security and server administration

Calculator Privacy

One of the most common questions we receive is whether the CGPA, GPA, or percentage values entered into our calculators are stored.

In general, the academic values you enter into our calculators are processed only to generate your requested conversion or calculation. We do not intentionally create personal academic profiles or permanently associate your grades with your identity simply because you used one of our educational tools.

Our calculators are designed to provide quick educational estimates while respecting your privacy.
