Privacy Policy

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as your email address and display name, when you create an account.

We also automatically collect certain information about your device and usage of the Site, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and information about how you interact with the Site.

Creating an account is optional. If you choose to create one, we collect and store the following:

We use Cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on Our Service and store certain information. Tracking technologies used are beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze Our Service. The technologies We use may include:

Cookies can be "Persistent" or "Session" Cookies. Persistent Cookies remain on Your personal computer or mobile device when You go offline, while Session Cookies are deleted as soon as You close Your web browser.

We use both Session and Persistent Cookies for the purposes set out below:

We may use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries or requests
• Provide, operate, and improve the Site
• Create and operate your account
• Save your quiz stats and play history
• Attribute approved question contributions to your display name
• Let you create and share challenges
• Send you our newsletter, if you have opted in
• Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud or other illegal activity

We may share your information with:

• Our service providers who help us operate the Site, including but not limited to:
• Google and Firebase, which provide the core infrastructure for our accounts and act as our data processor. Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and the Realtime Database store your account data, and the Site is hosted on Google Cloud.
• Microsoft, for the analytics described in the "Microsoft Clarity" section below.
• Our affiliates for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy
• Third-party advertisers to display advertisements on the Site

If you sign in with Google, that sign-in also involves Google handling your information in accordance with its own privacy policy. For more information, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: Google Privacy Statement.

We may also share your information in response to legal process, such as a court order or subpoena.

We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve and market our products/services. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity. Additionally, we use this information for site optimization, fraud/security purposes, and advertising. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: Google Privacy Statement.

We use Google Tag Manager to manage and deploy the analytics and measurement tags described above. Google Tag Manager is a tag container that itself does not collect personal information; it organizes the loading of the third-party tools we use and defers to those tools' own data processing. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: Google Privacy Statement.

The Site uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect sign-in and form submissions from spam and abuse. To assess whether an interaction is carried out by a human, reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information, such as device and application data, and interaction data, and transmits this information to Google for analysis. This data is collected and used subject to Google's terms.

This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or destruction. However, no security measure is 100% effective and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

You can choose not to provide us with certain information. Creating an account is optional, and so is the newsletter opt-in within it.

If you opt in to the newsletter, you can opt back out at any time from your account settings.

If you have an account, you can update your display name and turn the newsletter on or off at any time from your account settings. The newsletter is off unless you opt in, either when you create your account or later from settings.

To access, correct, or delete the personal information associated with your account, email us at support@animetrivia.app and we will action your request.

Some content cannot be fully removed on request. Questions you submitted that a moderator has approved remain published on the Site, and challenges you created remain available to anyone holding the share link. On request we can remove your display name from approved questions so they are no longer attributed to you, but the question and challenge records themselves may be retained.

The Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice on the Site or by other means.

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at support@animetrivia.app.
