GradeNeeded information
Privacy Policy
Privacy information for GradeNeeded, a student tools hub for grades, GPA, assignments, deadlines, credits, accounts, and academic planning.
Public tools and browser-saved planner data
You can use GradeNeeded's public calculators and planner without creating an account. Calculator inputs are used to show results in your browser. When you are signed out, planner information such as classes, assignments, grades, notes, due dates, and statuses is saved locally in your browser storage on that device.
Accounts
GradeNeeded uses Clerk to provide account creation, sign-in, session management, and related authentication services. If you create or use an account, Clerk may process information needed for authentication, such as your email address, login method, account identifiers, and session information.
Cloud data for signed-in users
For signed-in users, GradeNeeded stores important product data in Supabase, including planner information such as classes, assignments, due dates, statuses, grades, and notes, as well as study sets, progress, profile data, and settings. This cloud storage allows your data to be available across devices and sessions.
Payments and subscriptions
GradeNeeded offers optional paid subscriptions (Premium and Ultra) processed through Stripe. When you subscribe, Stripe processes your payment information directly. GradeNeeded stores your subscription status, tier, Stripe customer identifier, and related subscription metadata in Supabase to manage your account entitlements. GradeNeeded does not store full payment card details.
Third-party services
GradeNeeded uses third-party services to operate, including Clerk for authentication, Supabase for cloud data storage, Stripe for payment processing, Vercel for hosting, Google Analytics for analytics, and Google Gemini or OpenAI models for Geno AI features. These services may process data as needed to provide their functions. Each service operates under its own privacy policy.
Premium waitlist and contact information
If you join the GradeNeeded Premium interest list or submit a contact form, the site may collect the name, email address, role, interest level, selected feature interests, notes, source page, product label, and submission time that you provide. This information is used to understand interest in future account and premium features, respond to messages, and support product updates.
Analytics
GradeNeeded may use analytics tools to understand site usage and improve the website. Analytics can help show which pages are useful, how visitors move through the site, and where the experience can be clearer. Analytics events are intended to measure product behavior, such as page views, clicks, waitlist submissions, and planner conversion activity, rather than collect unnecessary personal details.
Sensitive information
Do not submit sensitive personal information, official student records, private school portal information, passwords, student ID numbers, medical information, financial information, or confidential information through the site, planner notes, waitlist form, contact form, Study Helper, or email. Planner notes should be used for ordinary schoolwork organization, not highly sensitive personal information.
Data choices and deletion requests
You can delete browser-saved planner data by clearing your browser storage or manually removing planner items. If you have used account cloud save and want help deleting account-linked planner data, contact GradeNeeded through the contact page. Account and authentication data may also be managed through the account tools provided by Clerk.
AI features and Geno
GradeNeeded uses Geno, an AI-powered study assistant. When you use Geno, your messages and relevant planner context are sent to an AI provider (Google Gemini or OpenAI) to generate responses. Do not send sensitive personal information, passwords, private school records, or confidential data through Geno. AI responses are for educational planning purposes only and are not a substitute for official academic advice.
Policy updates
This privacy policy may be updated as GradeNeeded adds or changes features. Significant changes will be reflected in this document. Continued use of GradeNeeded after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
