📋 Plain-English summary: Admission Chance is a free calculator tool that respects your privacy. We don't require accounts, we don't collect personal data, and we don't sell anything. The only thing we temporarily store is your IP address for security purposes (deleted within 30 days). Everything you enter into our calculator stays on your device in your browser's local storage. That's it.

We collect minimal data from our visitors:
We do not collect, store, or process any personal information such as names, email addresses, or academic records.
We do not use your data for targeted advertising, to build profiles, or for any purpose unrelated to providing our service.
While operating from Ohio, USA: We process IP addresses based on legitimate business interests in maintaining security and preventing fraud, consistent with applicable US federal law.
Upon relocation to the UK (late September 2026): We will process the limited data we collect (IP addresses) based on:
We do not process any personal data requiring consent, as we do not collect personal information.
Our website is suitable for all ages and does not require age verification since we don't collect personal data. 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.
We retain IP addresses in server logs for a maximum of 30 days, after which they are automatically deleted. This retention period is necessary for security monitoring and abuse prevention.
Any data stored in your browser's local storage remains under your control and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
We take reasonable measures to protect the limited data we collect:
Our website is currently hosted with Render, which uses cloud infrastructure based in the United States. Cloudflare also processes visitor data (including IP addresses) for security purposes at their global edge network. Upon relocation to the UK, we will evaluate whether to continue with current providers or switch to UK/EEA-based alternatives.
In the unlikely event of a data breach involving personal information, we will assess the situation and take appropriate steps as required by applicable law. However, since the only personal data we collect is IP addresses in server logs (retained for 30 days maximum), the risk of a meaningful data breach is extremely low.
Since we collect minimal data (only IP addresses in server logs, retained for 30 days), most privacy requests can be handled simply.

Note on IP addresses: We retain IP addresses in server logs for a maximum of 30 days for security purposes. Due to the nature of security logs, we may not be able to manually delete individual IP addresses before the automatic 30-day deletion. However, this data is automatically purged on schedule and is never used for any purpose other than security.
Upon relocation to the UK (late September 2026): UK GDPR will apply, and you will have additional formal rights including the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
