Privacy Notice – Outside the Gulf
You see the notice for the country you are connecting from. Changing the country at the top of the site does not change it.

The short version: your marks never leave your device, there are no accounts, and no ad or visit counter loads before you say yes.
1. Who we are
KamJibt is an independent site run by Patrick Goodman, a private individual. It is not affiliated with any government body, ministry or university. For anything about your data, write to privacy@kamjibt.me.
This notice follows the standards of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which we apply to visitors outside the Gulf as our own voluntary standard; this is not an acceptance that the GDPR applies to us. For visitors in the United Kingdom we apply the UK GDPR in the same way.
2. What we collect and what we don't
| Data | Where it is | Why | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marks, GPA inputs, children's nicknames, your role and region | On your device only. We never receive it. | The calculators and the family board | None needed: it never reaches us |
| Your IP address, turned into a two-letter country | Read when the page asks where you are; not stored | Choosing your default country and this notice | Our legitimate interest in showing the right page |
| Your country and language choice | On your device (one cookie each, and browser storage) | Remembering your preference | You asked for it by choosing |
| Your consent choice, its date and the notice version | On your device | Proof of what you chose | Needed to respect your choice |
| Visit counts: event, country, page and day | Our server, with nothing that identifies you | Knowing which calculators are used | Your consent |
| A mistake report: page address, rule and your text | Our server | Fixing the mistake | Your consent, by sending it |
| A privacy request: your email and your message | Our server | Answering your request | Our legal duty to answer you |
| Advertising identifiers | Google, only after you accept ads | Showing ads that pay for the site | Your consent |
What we do not collect
- No accounts, names, ID numbers or phone numbers.
- No marks, grades or anything else you type into a calculator.
- No stored IP addresses and no record of who visited.
- No passwords for Noor, Tawakkalna, UAE PASS or any official system — we never ask for them.
We obtain no data about you from other sources. You are not required to give us anything: the forms are optional, and the calculators work without them.
3. Why, and on what basis
We use data only to run the calculators, pick your country and notice, count visits without identifying anyone, fix mistakes you report, answer your requests and — with your consent — show ads. We do not sell data and we do not use it for anything else.
Where the basis is our legitimate interest, that interest is showing you the right country's page and privacy notice. We make no automated decisions about you and do no profiling.
4. Who receives it
- Hostinger — the hosting company that runs our server and content delivery network. It stores what reaches us and handles it only for us.
- Google — advertising (AdSense). It receives data only after you accept ads.
Nobody else. The service we use to draft and check our own texts never receives visitor data.
5. Transfers abroad
Hostinger and Google may handle the items in the table outside your country. Where the law requires safeguards for such a transfer, we rely on the standard contractual clauses in the data protection terms each company publishes.
6. How long we keep it
- On your device: until you clear your browser data. It is yours to delete at any time.
- Visit counts: kept as totals; they identify no one.
- Mistake reports: up to 12 months after the report is closed.
- Privacy requests: up to 24 months after we answer, as proof that we did.
7. Your rights and how to use them
You have the right to:
- see the data we hold about you and get a copy
- have wrong or incomplete data corrected
- have your data deleted
- have us restrict or stop the use of your data
- receive your data in a common format or have it sent elsewhere
- object to how we use your data
- withdraw your consent at any time, as easily as you gave it
- not be subject to decisions made only by a machine — we make none
Most of your data is on your own device, where you control it. For anything that reached us, use the request form — it is free.
We answer within one month. If a request is complex we may take up to two more months, and we will tell you within the first month.
8. Children and guardians
Consent to ads or visit counting from anyone under 16 must be given by a parent or guardian. Some countries set a lower age, never below 13; in the United Kingdom it is 13. The calculators need no consent, because your marks never leave your device.
10. Complaints
Write to us first and we will try to fix it. You may also complain to the data protection authority where you live; in the United Kingdom that is the ICO.
11. Changes and version date
If we change this notice we change the date below, and the consent box asks you again.
