Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how our Live Quiz Platform (the "Platform", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you access our website or participate in our live quiz events (the "Events"). This Platform is intended solely for users located within the United States.

---

1. Information We Collect

To operate our real-time game logic, track scoring fairly, and manage advertisement placements, we collect the following categories of information:

• Account Information: When you log in via Google Sign-In, we collect your verified Google email address, your name, and your Google profile picture.
• Technical and Connection Data: We automatically collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address and device connection tokens (Socket IDs) when you connect to our game server.
• Gameplay Metrics: We track your submitted answers, the specific timestamps of your submissions, and your total calculated scores.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data strictly for the following operational and business purposes:

• To authenticate your identity and administer your live quiz account.
• To process real-time scoring logic and verify leaderboard accuracy.
• To enforce anti-cheating protocols (such as verifying that no more than two accounts are playing from a single IP address).
• To distribute winner notifications, prizes, and promotional sponsor materials on behalf of our partners.

3. Data Protection and Zero Third-Party Sharing

• No Sale or Distribution of Data: We value your privacy. **We do not sell, rent, lease, or share your personal information, including your email address, with any third-party companies, corporate sponsors, or advertisers.** All user data remains entirely secure within our internal systems.
• Sponsor Advertisements: We partner with corporate event sponsors to fund our free competitive prizes. These sponsors pay to place advertisements on our Platform and utilize our internal mailing capability. If you participate in an Event, **we** may send you exactly one (1) post-quiz promotional email featuring the sponsor's offer. The sponsor themselves never receives, views, or owns your email address or personal identity details.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or government regulation, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of the Platform, its users, or the public.

4. Geographic Restrictions: United States Only

The Platform is hosted in the United States and is explicitly restricted to residents of the United States. We do not knowingly collect information from, or market to, individuals residing within the European Union, Canada, or other international jurisdictions. If you access the Platform from outside the United States, you are doing so in violation of our regional terms.

5. State-Specific Privacy Rights (Multi-State Disclosures)

Depending on the U.S. state in which you reside, you possess specific statutory data privacy rights regarding your personal information. Because your data is never sold or shared with third parties, our processing remains compliant across standard state regulations:

• Ohio Consumer Protections: In accordance with Ohio law, we maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to shield your consumer data and account information from unauthorized access or breach.
• California Residents (CCPA/CPRA): Because we retain complete internal control of your email address and do not distribute it to our advertising partners, the Platform does not engage in the "sale" or "sharing" of personal data as defined under California law. California residents retain the right to request deletion of their account history at any time.
• Other State Frameworks (VA, CO, CT, UT, etc.): Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws maintain matching rights to confirm data processing or completely delete their account profiles from our active databases by making a direct request.

6. Data Retention and Security

We retain your gameplay metrics and connection data only as long as necessary to fulfill the operational goals of the quiz engine and verify historical leaderboard standings. We employ industry-standard web security practices to protect your data. However, please be advised that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Events are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it from our servers immediately.
