Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how QuizPop ("we", "us", or "our"), operated at quizpop.co.uk, collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle data.

1. Information We Collect

QuizPop is designed to collect as little personal data as possible. We collect the following:

• Username: A display name you choose yourself when you first visit the site. This is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to our servers.
• Quiz scores and progress: Your scores, streaks, and achievements are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data does not leave your device.
• Usage data: We may collect anonymised information about how visitors interact with our site, such as pages visited and time spent, through third-party analytics tools.
• Score data: When you complete a quiz, your chosen username, score, and streak are submitted to our secure database to power the leaderboard feature. No email address, IP address or personally identifiable information is collected — only the username you chose and your quiz scores.

2. Cookies

QuizPop uses cookies and similar tracking technologies in the following ways:

• Essential cookies: We use localStorage (a browser-based storage mechanism) to save your quiz progress, username, streak and achievements on your device.
• Advertising cookies: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our site. Google AdSense may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the internet. These cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Analytics cookies: We may use cookies to understand how visitors use our site in order to improve the experience.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.

3. Google AdSense and Advertising

We use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google LLC, to display advertisements on QuizPop. Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google will obtain consent before showing personalised ads. We have implemented Google's consent management tools to ensure compliance with applicable regulations including the UK GDPR and the EU ePrivacy Directive.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, please visit: How Google uses data from sites that use Google services.

4. Supabase — Leaderboard Data

We use Supabase (supabase.com), a third-party database service, to store leaderboard data including usernames, quiz scores, and streaks. This data is used solely to power the QuizPop leaderboard feature and display rankings to players.

Only your chosen username and quiz scores are stored — no email address, IP address, real name or any other personally identifiable information is collected or transmitted. Because usernames are chosen freely by users with no registration required, scores cannot be linked back to any real individual.

Supabase's privacy policy can be found at supabase.com/privacy.

5. How We Use Your Information

The limited information we collect is used to:

• Provide and improve the QuizPop experience
• Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
• Understand how our site is used so we can make it better
• Ensure the security and proper functioning of the website

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties, except:

• Google AdSense: As described above, Google may collect and use data for advertising purposes in accordance with their own privacy policy.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

7. Your Rights (UK GDPR)

As a UK-based service, we comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). You have the following rights:

• Right to access: You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to erasure: You can request deletion of your personal data. Since most data is stored locally in your browser, you can clear this at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage and cookies.
• Right to object: You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time using Google's opt-out tools.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address below.

8. Data Retention

Quiz scores, usernames and achievements are stored locally in your browser and remain there until you clear your browser data or reset your data within the QuizPop app. We do not store this data on our own servers.

9. Children's Privacy

QuizPop is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
