Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how The Trivia Guru (“we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects your information when you play quizzes, create an account and use our website and related services (the “Service”).

By using The Trivia Guru you agree to the practices described here. This is a sample policy for a demonstration product and is not legal advice.

Information we collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account information — your username, email address and password (stored securely) when you create an account.
• Gameplay data — quizzes played, questions answered, scores, accuracy, streaks, levels, XP and badges earned.
• Profile details — optional information such as your country, used to place you on regional leaderboards.
• Device & usage data — browser type, device, approximate location and how you interact with the Service.

How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Run quizzes and calculate your scores, levels and achievements.
• Display rankings on global and country leaderboards (your username and country may be visible to other players).
• Maintain your dashboard, statistics and progress over time.
• Improve the Service, fix bugs and develop new quiz content.
• Send you account-related messages and, where you opt in, occasional product updates.

Cookies & tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences and understand how the Service is used.

We use Google Analytics to measure how the Service is used — for example which quiz categories and regions are most popular. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and processes usage data on our behalf; it does not receive your name, email or password.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect features such as staying signed in or resuming a quiz.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in limited circumstances:

• Public leaderboards — your username, level, country and scores may appear to other players.
• Service providers — trusted vendors who help us operate the Service under confidentiality obligations.
• Legal reasons — when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our players.

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encryption of passwords and secure connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct or update the information we hold about you.
• Delete your account and associated data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, and opt out of marketing messages.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

Children's privacy

The Trivia Guru is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes we will update the “last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the Service.
