Privacy Policy

    Last updated: March 9, 2026

    Overview

    CalculatedPath ("we," "us," or "our") operates calculatedpath.com. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data. The short version: we collect minimal data, we do not sell it, and we respect your privacy.

    This privacy policy should be read together with our Terms of Use, which explain the rules for using the site.

    Information We Collect

    Analytics

    We use Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This includes anonymized data such as page views, referral sources, browser type, and general geographic region. We do not track individual users across sessions or collect personally identifiable information through analytics.

    Calculator and Tool Usage

    Our UC GPA Calculator and CSU GPA Calculator process course selections, GPA calculations, exports, and share-link state in your browser. That calculator data is not transmitted to our servers or stored by us as part of normal calculator use. If you use the Course Planner while signed out, that planner state also remains in your browser.

    Accounts and Authentication

    If you choose to create or use an account, we store the account data needed to authenticate you, such as your email address, provider identity, and any optional display name you save. We also use essential authentication cookies so you can stay signed in.

    Saved Planner Data

    If you are signed in and use the Course Planner, we store your saved plans, plan names, and related planner state in our database so the planner can autosave and so you can switch between saved plans across visits. Deleting a saved plan removes it from your account. Deleting your account removes your saved planner data from our servers.

    Feedback Submissions

    Our tools include a feedback button that lets you report issues or suggest improvements. When you submit feedback, we collect: the feedback type, your message, your email address (if you choose to provide it), the current page URL, and your browser's user agent string. Feedback submissions are stored as issues in our private issue tracker. We do not use this information for any purpose other than responding to your feedback and improving the site.

    Contact Information

    If you email us, we retain your message and email address to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list or share your email with third parties.

    Cookies

    We use essential cookies and localStorage for site functionality. This includes keeping you signed in, storing signed-out planner or calculator state in your browser, and supporting analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some site features may not work as expected.

    Third-Party Services

    We use the following third-party services, each of which has its own privacy policy:

    • Vercel (hosting and analytics)
    • Neon (managed Postgres database for accounts and saved planner data)
    • Google (OAuth sign-in and site analytics)
    • Resend (delivery of emailed sign-in links)
    • Cloudflare (DNS, content delivery, and email routing)

    These services may process the data needed to provide their function, such as analytics events, authentication requests, sign-in emails, or database storage. Their handling of that data is governed by their own privacy policies.

    Data Retention

    Analytics data is retained in aggregate form. Account records and optional profile data are retained until you delete your account or request deletion. Saved planner data is retained until you delete individual plans or delete your account. Contact emails are retained only as long as needed to respond and then deleted. Feedback submissions are retained in our issue tracker until the reported issue is resolved or kept as needed for product support history.

    Children's Privacy

    Our site is intended for students, parents, and educators. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

    Your Rights

    You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you. California residents have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what data is collected and the right to opt out of data sales (we do not sell data). To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@calculatedpath.com.

    Changes to This Policy

    We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
