Privacy Policy

QuizWorld operates at quizworld.xyz. We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how we use it. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why, and your rights over it.

Contact: support@quizworld.xyz

Account data: When you create an account, we collect your email address and (optionally) a display name and avatar.

Google Sign-In: If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google. We do not receive your Google password.

Quiz content: Quizzes, questions, and answers you create are stored on our servers.

Game session data: Player nicknames, scores, and answers during live game sessions. This data is used to run the game and generate results.

Usage data: XP points, study progress, streak counts, and leaderboard position — used to power your profile and game features.

Technical data: Browser type, device type, and IP address collected automatically when you use the Platform. Used for security and performance monitoring; optional analytics is described below.

• To create and manage your account.
• To operate live game sessions and study features.
• To display your username, avatar, and level on leaderboards and quiz cards.
• To send transactional emails (e.g. account confirmation). We do not send marketing emails without your consent.
• To improve the Platform and fix bugs.
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

Your data is stored securely using Supabase (supabase.com), a cloud database provider. Data is stored in a secure, access-controlled environment. Supabase processes data in accordance with GDPR and relevant international data protection standards.

Game session data (player nicknames, in-game scores) is temporarily processed by our real-time game engine hosted on Render (render.com) and saved to our database after each game.

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and maintain your session. Optional Google Analytics 4 is off until you confirm you are 18 or older and choose to allow it. Rejecting analytics does not limit QuizWorld. Your choice is stored in this browser, separately from essential cookies. You can change it using Analytics preferences on any page.

For opted-in, signed-out adults, we measure visits only to our home page, Kahoot alternative page and AWS practice test information page. Analytics is not loaded on login, account, discovery, quiz, game, study, classroom or other private routes, or while you are signed in.

We send fixed public page labels, not your actual URL, query string, fragment, page title or referrer. We do not send names, emails, quiz content, answers, room codes or account/student identifiers. Google also receives a pseudonymous browser identifier, device/browser information and your IP address when your browser connects. This is not anonymous data. See how Google uses information from partner sites.

Analytics uses host-only session cookies with the qwga_ prefix. Rejecting or withdrawing consent stops future analytics and removes those cookies; it does not affect sign-in cookies. We do not keep a local browsing-history log. Browser settings can also delete cookies and your saved preference.

Google Analytics runs in a separate empty frame. Enhanced Measurement can remain enabled, but does not measure your forms, site searches, downloads, videos or clicks in the QuizWorld application. Automatic frame engagement or scroll events may occur and are not measurements of those application interactions. Advertising storage, advertising user data, ad personalization and Google signals are disabled by this integration. We do not configure User-ID or share your account details with Google.

QuizWorld requires users to be at least 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us at support@quizworld.xyz and we will delete the account promptly.

For classroom use involving students under 18, teachers are responsible for ensuring appropriate consent has been obtained from parents or guardians. Optional analytics is intended only for signed-out adults, not students or classroom activity.

We only share your data in these circumstances:

• Service providers: Supabase (database), Render (game engine), Vercel (website hosting), and Google (optional analytics after your opt-in). These providers process data only as needed to deliver the service.
• Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of users or the public.
• We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers.

Depending on where you are located, you may have the following rights:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Update or correct your data via your Profile settings.
• Deletion: Request deletion using the email instructions in Profile settings or by emailing support@quizworld.xyz from your account email address. Opening the email draft does not send a request or delete your account. We verify account ownership before deletion and process deletion requests within 30 days.
• Portability: Request an export of your quiz content and game history.
• Objection: Object to processing of your data in certain circumstances.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@quizworld.xyz.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. After receiving your account-deletion request and verifying ownership, we remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance reasons. Anonymised usage data (e.g. aggregated game statistics) may be retained indefinitely.

QuizWorld is based in Australia. Our service providers (Supabase, Vercel, Render and, if you opt in, Google) may process data in the United States and other countries. These providers maintain appropriate safeguards including Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers from the EU/UK.

We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). If you are located in Australia and have a complaint about our handling of your personal information, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legal basis for processing your data is:

• Consent — for optional analytics; withdraw it at any time using Analytics preferences. Withdrawal stops future analytics but does not delete data already received by Google. Contact us about deletion requests.
• Contract performance — to provide the QuizWorld service you signed up for.
• Legitimate interests — to operate, improve, and secure the Platform.
• Legal obligation — where required by law.

You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by posting a notice on the Platform or emailing your registered address. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
