Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to our Quiz Application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection, use, and protection.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to provide our quiz functionality:

• Name: When you participate in a quiz, you may be asked to enter your name. This is stored temporarily for the quiz session.
• Quiz Responses: Your answers to quiz questions are collected to calculate and display your score.
• Anonymous User ID: We use Firebase Anonymous Authentication, which generates a temporary, anonymous identifier for your session.

What We DO NOT Collect

We want to be clear about what we do not collect:

• Email Addresses: We do not collect, store, or require email addresses.
• IP Addresses: We do not log or store your IP address in our database.
• Personal Identifiable Information: We do not collect phone numbers, physical addresses, or other personally identifiable information.
• Device Information: We do not track or store information about your device or browser.

Anonymous Authentication

Our application uses Firebase Anonymous Authentication. This means:

• You are automatically assigned a temporary, anonymous user ID when you use the app.
• This ID cannot be traced back to you personally.
• No registration or login is required.
• The anonymous ID may be cleared if you clear your browser data.

How We Use Your Information

The limited information we collect is used solely for:

• Displaying your name during the quiz experience.
• Calculating and showing your quiz score.
• Maintaining the basic functionality of the quiz application.

We do not use your information for marketing, advertising, or any other purposes.

Data Storage and Security

We use Firebase, a service provided by Google, to handle authentication and data storage. All data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption. However, given that we only collect minimal, non-personal information, the risk to your privacy is extremely low.

Third-Party Services

Our application uses the following third-party service:

• Firebase (Google): For anonymous authentication and database services. Firebase's privacy policy can be found at https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

Cookies and Local Storage

Our application may use browser local storage to maintain your session state. This information is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers except for the anonymous authentication token required by Firebase.

Children's Privacy

Our service does not specifically target children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us, and we will take steps to remove such information.

Data Retention

Given our minimal data collection practices, quiz data may be retained for the duration necessary to provide the service. Anonymous authentication sessions may expire or be cleared based on Firebase's policies and your browser settings.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Clear your browser data at any time, which will remove any locally stored information.
• Stop using the service at any time.
• Request information about what data we have collected (which is minimal and anonymous).

Changes to This Privacy Policy

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