4. Cookies and advertising
The website may use cookies or similar technologies for sign-in, preferences, measurement, security and advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's previous visits to this website or other websites.

5. Legal bases and consent
Where required, we process information with your consent, to provide the service you request, for legitimate interests such as security and improvement, or to comply with law.

6. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help operate World Quiz, when legally required, to protect users and the service, or as part of a legitimate business transfer. Public leaderboard details may be visible to other players, so avoid using sensitive information in your display name.
7. Data retention and security
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain records, resolve disputes and meet legal obligations. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no online system can guarantee absolute security.

We may need to verify that you own the account. After verification, the account and associated personal data will be deleted, except for information that must be retained for security, fraud prevention or legal compliance as permitted by law.
10. Children's privacy
World Quiz is a general-audience knowledge game and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13 without the permission required by law. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information should contact us so we can investigate and delete it where appropriate.
