Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site or register for an account.

  • Quiz & Answer Data: We store a record of every answer you submit, including the question ID, your selected answer, and whether it was correct.
  • Gamification Data: We generate data based on your activity, such as your total points, level, achievements, and login streaks.

We use the information we collect to:

  • Create and manage your account.
  • Provide you with a personalized dashboard to track your quiz history and performance.
  • Operate the gamification system (points, levels, achievements).
