Trivia Time Privacy Policy

Overview

Trivia Time is designed to work without a central gameplay account. Most information used by the app stays on your device or on your local network.

When you host or join a match, the connection data is primarily used to synchronize the game between devices on the same Wi-Fi network or hotspot.

1. Data Controller

The data controller for the processing described in this policy is the publisher of the Trivia Time application: Clearforge Studio, [email protected].

3. Information We Process

Depending on the features you use, Trivia Time may process several categories of information.

3.1 Information you enter or choose

Your nickname.
Your selected avatar.
Your chosen language.
Certain game settings.
Local state related to unlocked packs or temporary trials.

These elements are mainly used to personalize your experience and operate the app.

3.2 Local multiplayer data

The local player identifier.
Game state such as answers, scores, votes, and session settings.

This information is used only to connect and synchronize a local session. To the best of our knowledge, it is not sent to Clearforge Studio gameplay servers.

3.3 Camera

If you join a game by scanning a QR code, the app may access your camera to read that code and extract the local connection details required to join.

3.4 Advertising

Trivia Time may display ads through Google Mobile Ads / AdMob. Depending on your device, region, consent choices, and SDK configuration, Google and its partners may process:

Advertising identifiers or device identifiers.
IP address.
Technical information about the device, app, and network.
Diagnostic data.
Data related to ad display or interaction.

This processing may be used to deliver ads, limit fraud, measure advertising performance, and manage consent where required by law.

3.5 In-app purchases

Trivia Time uses RevenueCat and platform billing services to manage in-app purchases.

Purchased product identifiers.
Transaction and purchase history information.
A user or device identifier used to restore purchases.
Technical information needed to validate and synchronize purchases.

We use this information to unlock purchased packs, restore purchases, and synchronize premium status.

3.6 Technical data and logs

The app may also process technical information needed for operation, such as app version, operating system version, technical diagnostics, and local or third-party related errors.

3.7 External links and contact

Trivia Time may open the app's Google Play page, the developer's Google Play page, or your email application. If you contact us, we process the information you choose to send, such as your email address and message content.

4. Purposes of Processing

The information described above may be used to:

Provide app and gameplay functionality.
Enable local multiplayer sessions.
Save usage preferences.

5. Legal Bases

If the GDPR or a similar legal framework applies to you, legal bases may include performance of the requested service, our legitimate interest in operating and securing the app, your consent where required, and compliance with legal obligations.

6. Sharing With Third Parties

Depending on the features you use, some data may be shared with or processed by:

Google Play and platform billing services.
Google Mobile Ads / AdMob.
RevenueCat.
Technical providers necessary to operate the app or open external links.

We do not sell your personal data.

7. Advertising and Consent

Where required by applicable law, Trivia Time may present a consent form before initializing or using certain advertising features.

Depending on your region, you may also have options to manage advertising preferences or access a privacy options form. Lack of consent may limit certain personalized advertising features.

8. Data Retention

We keep data for a period appropriate to the relevant purpose. In practice:

Preferences and certain usage data may remain stored locally on your device until you remove the app or clear app data.
Local multiplayer session information is generally temporary and tied to the current session.
In-app purchase data may be retained by payment platforms and RevenueCat under their own policies.
Advertising-related data may be retained by Google under its own rules.

9. Deletion

Because the main gameplay experience does not rely on a central account managed by us, a large portion of app data is stored locally on your device. You may be able to:

Uninstall the app.
Clear app data from your device settings.
Contact us regarding any specific request involving data that may be processed by us.

For data processed by third parties such as Google or RevenueCat, you may also need to consult their own procedures or policies.

10. Security

We implement reasonable measures intended to protect data processed through Trivia Time. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children

Trivia Time is a general-audience game. Some content categories may suit younger audiences, but the app is not intended to knowingly collect children's personal data in violation of applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us at [email protected].

12. International Transfers

Some third-party providers may process data outside your country of residence. Where applicable, those transfers are subject to the legal and contractual mechanisms implemented by the relevant providers under applicable law.

13. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data, such as:

Right of access.
Right to rectification.
Right to deletion.
Right to object.
Right to restriction.
Right to portability.
Right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise those rights where applicable, you may contact us. We may ask for reasonable information to verify your identity and clarify the scope of your request.
