Your privacy matters. This page explains clearly what data BunkWise collects, why, and how it is used. This policy covers Google Analytics (currently active), Google AdSense (planned for future use), and all other third-party services used by BunkWise. Last updated: March 2026.
All attendance data you paste or upload (CSV/Excel), and all result PDFs you upload for SGPA calculation via the RTU pipeline, are processed entirely inside your own browser using JavaScript. This data is never transmitted to any server operated by BunkWise. Once you close the tab, everything is gone — no data is stored in any database, cookie, or local storage by BunkWise for this purpose.
The Autonomous SGPA Calculator (for SKIT result PDFs) is an exception — see the AI-powered analysis section below.
BunkWise uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics is loaded on every page of BunkWise (except on localhost during development). It collects the following types of information automatically:
This information is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies placed by Google. The data is sent to and stored by Google on servers which may be located outside India. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.
BunkWise uses this data solely to improve the website — for example, to understand which tools are most used, which devices need optimisation, and how users discover the site. We do not sell this data or use it to identify you personally.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by using your browser's private/incognito mode.
BunkWise currently shows placeholder ad spaces only — no real advertisements are being served at this time. In the future, BunkWise plans to use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the website.
When Google AdSense becomes active, the following will apply:
_ga, IDE, and DSID cookies) to serve ads based on your prior visits to BunkWise or other websites across the internet.You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google at any time by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor personalised ads via the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool. Note that opting out of personalised ads does not mean you will see no ads — it means the ads shown will not be based on your interests.
BunkWise itself sets one item in localStorage: your theme preference (bw-theme, value: light or dark). This never leaves your device.
The following third-party cookies may be set when you visit BunkWise:
_ga (2-year expiry), _ga_* (2-year expiry), _gid (24-hour expiry) — used to distinguish visitors and sessions.IDE, DSID — used by Google to deliver personalised ads once AdSense is enabled.You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Deleting Google Analytics cookies will cause you to be treated as a new visitor on your next visit.
When you use the Autonomous SGPA Calculator feature (for SKIT result PDFs), the raw text extracted from your uploaded PDF is sent to Google's Gemini AI API for analysis. This text contains your result data as it appears in the PDF — including your name, roll number, father's name, and subject marks.
This data is transmitted to Google's servers to perform the analysis and is governed by Google's AI API Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. BunkWise does not store or log this data.
The API call is routed through a Cloudflare Worker proxy — the Gemini API key is stored securely in Cloudflare environment variables and is never exposed in BunkWise's front-end code.
A rate limit of 2–3 analyses per device per day is enforced locally using localStorage. This counter is stored only on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.
If you are not comfortable with your result data being processed by Google's AI, please use the RTU SGPA Calculator instead — it processes everything locally in your browser with no external API calls.
The following external services are used by BunkWise. Each is governed by its own privacy policy and terms.

We recommend checking this page periodically. Continued use of BunkWise after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
