Privacy Policy

This privacy policy is designed to explain how we collect and utilize information when you use our quiz app products and services. By accessing and/or using our app and related websites, you agree to the policies and practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

As the data controller, we have implemented various technical and organizational measures to ensure the comprehensive protection of personal data processed through our services. Please be aware that while we take security measures seriously, internet-based data transmissions may have inherent security vulnerabilities, and absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

1. Name and Address of the controller

The controller, as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws in European Union member states, is:

Richard Lutz, Switzerland
Email: info@quidido.de

2. Information Collection and Distribution

Automatically Collected Information

We do not collect user-provided information, but we may automatically collect certain information, including but not limited to your mobile device type, unique device ID, mobile operating system, and usage patterns within the app. Additionally, we collect automatically provided information from Google.

Do third parties access or see this information? Yes. We may share your information with third parties as described in this privacy statement. We may disclose Automatically Collected Information:

3. Automatic Data Collection and Advertising

In our applications, we may request and process non-personally identifiable information. We use this information to personalize app content. For users who have not opted out of behavioral advertising, we may use this data for displaying targeted ads. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads by following the options outlined in the "Opt Out" section of our Privacy Policy.

We collaborate with analytics companies to understand how users interact with our apps and games, including usage frequency and duration. Additionally, we partner with advertisers and third-party advertising networks to analyze how you engage with advertising within our services, which helps us keep our applications free.

Advertisers and advertising networks may access some information from our services, including your mobile device's unique ID and mobile phone number. To protect your anonymity, we use encryption technology to ensure that these third parties cannot personally identify you. These third parties may also obtain anonymous information about other apps you've downloaded, mobile websites visited, non-precise location data (e.g., zip code), and other non-precise location data for anonymous targeted advertising within our apps and elsewhere.

We may share device-level data (e.g., if a device clicks on an ad within our apps) with our advertising partners for targeted advertising. This enables other providers to receive or collect information about you and use it for displaying targeted ads. Advertisers can select their audience based on various criteria, including location, demographics, interests, and more. We collaborate with several providers of Interest-Based Advertising (IBA), as listed in the "Advertising Companies" subsection.

4. Regular Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data

We, as the data controller, will only process and retain your personal data for as long as necessary to achieve the intended purpose of storage, as permitted by European legislation or other relevant laws and regulations that apply to us. If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by European legislation or another competent legislator expires, your personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

5. Rights of the data subject

Our app collects only anonymous information for the purpose of targeted advertising and tracking user behavior within the game. If you wish to restrict access to this automatically collected information, you can disable individual device tracking on your mobile device.

6. Advertising Companies

We work with the following advertising companies:

AdMob

AdMob is one of the world's largest mobile advertising platforms and claims to serve more than 40 billion mobile banner and text ads per month across mobile Web sites and handset applications. Read about their privacy policy here.

FireBase

Firebase gives developers functionality like analytics, databases, messaging and crash reporting so that they can move quickly and focus on your users. Read more about their privacy policy here.

What Are Your Opt-Out Options?

Users of our apps and games have multiple opt-out options:

  1. Uninstall the Application: You can stop all information collection by our apps and games by uninstalling them. Use the standard uninstall processes available on your mobile device or through the mobile application marketplace or network.
  2. Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising: You can opt-out of allowing us to access your location data for targeted advertising. You have the following options:

Please note that when you opt out, you may still see the same number of ads on your mobile device, but they may be less relevant because they won't be based on your interests. Our advertising partners may continue to serve ads based on other non-personal information, such as the content of the application you are using.

Switching from Device IDs to Advertising Identifier: We have switched from using device IDs to the Advertising Identifier, which allows advertisers to use this identifier exclusively for advertising purposes and nothing else. Users can choose to opt out of tracking through their mobile phone settings. The Advertising Identifier is an anonymous identifier for advertising purposes, enabling users to reset their identifier or opt out of interest-based ads. Advertising participants are obligated to respect users' preferences for opting out of tracking in accordance with app store guidelines.

For Android Devices

For Android devices with OS 2.2 and up and Google Play Services version 4.0 and up:

  1. Open your Google Settings app.
  2. Navigate to Ads.
  3. Enable "Opt Out of Interest-Based Advertising."

7. Legal basis for the processing

8. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

When processing personal data under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business in a manner that benefits our employees and shareholders.

9. Provision of Personal Data

The provision of personal data may be required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or contractual agreements (e.g., contractual partner information). Failure to provide personal data required for contract fulfillment may result in the inability to conclude the contract. Data subjects will be informed by Our app about the necessity of providing personal data, whether it is required by law or contract, any obligations to provide such data, and the consequences of non-provision.

10. Automated Decision-Making

We do not engage in automatic decision-making or profiling as a responsible company.

11. Data Retention and Managing Your Information

We will retain Automatically Collected information. If you wish to have User Provided Data that you provided through our services deleted, please contact us.

12. Children

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with information without consent, they should contact us, and we will promptly delete the information.

13. Security

We take precautions to safeguard the confidentiality of your information. We employ physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the information we process and maintain. While we strive to provide reasonable security, no system can prevent all potential security breaches.

14. Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically for various reasons. Please check this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use of our services implies acceptance of all changes.

In the event of any ambiguity or discrepancy between the translated version of this Privacy Policy and the English version, the English version shall take precedence and govern.

15. Your Consent

By using our services and products, you consent to our processing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy, including the use of cookies and the transfer, processing, and storage of your information in the United States. If you reside outside the United States, your information will be processed and stored in accordance with United States privacy standards.
