Privacy Policy
Respecting your privacy is critically important to achieving our mission of motivating every student. These are our guiding privacy principles:

– We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
– We don’t keep your personal information longer than is necessary to provide our services to you.
– We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, provide our services, or protect our rights.
– We don’t rent, sell or exchange your personal information.
– We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

This Privacy Policy describes how QuizS collects, uses, shares, stores and protects your personally identifiable information and how you can access, update, delete, limit, and otherwise halt the use of this information. We offer you choices regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your personal information, including the option to use services without providing personal information.

We strive to support as many people as possible, including those with disabilities.

Protecting students and their personal information

QuizS believes the personally identifiable information of children and students deserves special protections and we comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). We also assist schools in meeting their obligations pursuant to the Family Educational Rights Privacy Act (“FERPA”). QuizS offers a limited feature set and web site experience for young users of QuizS. When a student indicates that they are under the age when they can grant consent on their own, QuizS does not collect personal information as defined under COPPA and may take additional steps to safeguard student privacy as required by law. Except as described in this privacy policy, QuizS does not accumulate personal information about any child for distribution, sharing, or selling.

Here are some examples of safety and privacy measures on QuizS:

– Behaviorally targeted advertising is not permitted on QuizS.
– Students who have not or cannot provide consent have a limited product experience.
– The platform does not facilitate direct messaging between students.
– Quizzes are subject to proactive content filters and reactive reporting tools.

Parental Rights

QuizS empowers parents and legal guardians of children younger than the age of consent (in the U.S., this means under 13) who have registered accounts with QuizS to exercise their legal rights pursuant to legislation such as COPPA. Parents/guardians can consent to collection and use by QuizS of a child’s personally identifiable information (PII) without consenting to the disclosure of information to third parties by QuizS. Currently, the only personal information we collect from a child younger than 13 is their parent’s or guardian’s email address.

Parents/guardians may delete, modify, and review information their children shared with QuizS by accessing their child’s account. They may also create a parent account to manage their child’s access to QuizS. Parents may also request that QuizS delete that information and refuse to allow QuizS to collect further information from their children by contacting us at [email protected]. QuizS may ask additional questions or take other steps to verify the identity of parents/guardians before responding to a request to review or delete their child’s information, or a request to refuse further collection from children.

QuizS will never require a child to share more information than is reasonably necessary for using QuizS. While QuizS will assign persistent identifiers to all QuizS users to recognize repeat visitors and improve their QuizS experience, QuizS does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children younger than the age of consent without a parent or guardian’s consent. If we become aware, despite our intention not to gather this information, that we collected personally identifiable information from a child younger than the age of consent without permission then we will either delete this information or seek to obtain verifiable parental consent from the child’s parent or guardian to collect and use that data to provide the child with QuizS services in the future.

How QuizS Collects Personal Information

The information that QuizS collects depends on the nature of the services you request. For example, fewer data are collected from a student joining a game without an account than from a teacher who creates an account in order to create quizzes and host games. All interactions with the QuizS app produce metadata that may identify you or could be identifiable information when paired with other information about you. In every case, QuizS strives to collect only the minimum necessary information from you as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with QuizS or that is required by law.

Information you provide to QuizS

Accounts are not a prerequisite to using QuizS, but are required to access some features and to save progress over time. If you create an account, QuizS saves the account information you provide. This information may include: an email address, a parent or guardian email address, first name, last name, profile photo, or organization/zone name.

You may choose not to provide specific information or to delete or modify it at any time. These actions may prevent you from engaging with specific services or features that require this information. Additional information may be provided to QuizS if you communicate with our support team, participate in user research, marketing campaigns or sweepstakes, or otherwise use the services.

If you engage in a financial transaction with QuizS, you may be asked to provide additional information such as a credit card number, billing address or full name.

As you use the service, you may also create academic content including quizzes and certain forms of responses. This information is not typically personally identifying, but it may be deleted at any time either by the relevant account holder or by reaching out to our team at [email protected].

Information collected automatically

We receive and store some types of information automatically as you use the service. These may include device information such as device model, operating system, and device identifiers such as IDFA and UDID.QuizS also collects log information as you use the service. These data may include information regarding how and when you use the service as well as preferred language, time zone, referring site, and internet protocol (IP) address.We may use your IP address to generate a general approximation of your location to provide the service. Examples include providing the right version of QuizS based on your state or country and helping teachers select their school when they sign up. QuizS does not collect fine location data such as GPS or bluetooth beacons.

Information from other sources

Depending on how you use the service, QuizS may collect information from partners and integrated technologies. For example, if you choose to use Google Login or join using the Google Classroom integration, we may receive information including your name and email address from Google. QuizS does not have access to the passwords used to log into your Google accounts.

We may also receive your personal information from another user. For example, a teacher might input your email in order to share a quiz or parent report. If a teacher chooses to enter student information directly into QuizS or requires students to sign up via the Google Classroom Integration, Classes on QuizS, or a similar rostering functionality, we require that teachers or schools get parental consent before using QuizS with children who are under the age when they can grant consent on their own.

Content on QuizS may contain links to other websites not affiliated with the service. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites and users need to be aware of the data privacy practices of such sites should they choose to use these links.

How does QuizS use this information?

QuizS limits its disclosure of both information that could on its own or in combination with other information be used to identify you. We only disclose personally identifying information to QuizS employees, contractors and subcontractors that: (i) must access that information in order to process it on QuizS behalf or to provide services available at QuizS’s mobile applications; and, (ii) agree not to disclose that information to others.

QuizS does not rent, sell or exchange potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to any third party without your consent. Other than to QuizS’s employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, QuizS discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law such as to comply with a court order, or when QuizS believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property, or legal rights or safety of QuizS, third parties or the public at large.
