Privacy policy
This covers the TrickQuiz iPhone app and this website.
Last updated 30 July 2026
1. The short version
You can play without giving us anything. If you never sign in, we hold an anonymous account with your scores in it and nothing that identifies you. Advertising is how the app is paid for, and where the law requires it we ask before anything personalised is shown. You can delete everything from inside the app at any time.
2. What we collect
2.1 If you play without signing in
An anonymous account is created for your device so that your stars, streaks and results can be saved. It holds a random identifier, a display name if you choose one, and your game data. It contains no email address, no name and no contact details.
2.2 If you sign in with Apple
Signing in attaches an Apple ID to the account you already have — it does not create a second one. From Apple we receive an identifier and an email address, which may be a private relay address if you chose to hide yours. We do not receive your Apple password.
2.3 While you play
- Which questions you were shown and how you answered
- Scores, stars, streaks, trophy cards and leaderboard positions
- Duels, tournaments and Battle Royale results
- Questions you report as wrong
2.4 Technical information
Device type, operating system version, app version, approximate region, and diagnostic information when something fails. On the website: IP address, browser, pages visited.
3. Advertising
The app shows advertising supplied by Google AdMob. Two kinds appear: ads between games, and rewarded ads you can choose to watch in exchange for something in the game, such as an extra life. Watching a rewarded ad is always your choice.
Whether the advertising you see is personalised depends on your own settings, not on whether you have an account with us. On iOS, personalised advertising requires your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt; you can change that answer at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. In the European Economic Area and the UK we additionally ask for consent through a Google consent form before any personalised advertising is shown, and you can change that choice later from within the app.
The kids section contains no advertising of any kind.
Google's own explanation of how it uses data in advertising is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
4. Children
TrickQuiz has a section designed for younger players, with its own questions and no advertising. It is intended to be used with a parent or guardian's involvement, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because playing requires no account, a child using the kids section is not asked for a name, an email address or any other identifying detail. If you believe a child has given us personal information, write to us and we will remove it.
5. What we use it for
- Running the game: serving questions, scoring, leaderboards, duels
- Saving your progress and restoring it on another device if you sign in
- Improving the questions — including finding ones that are wrong
- Detecting cheating and abuse
- Showing advertising, which is what pays for the app
- Meeting our legal obligations
6. Who else sees it
We do not sell your personal information. It is shared only with:
- Supabase — hosts the database and handles sign-in
- Vercel — hosts this website
- Google AdMob — supplies advertising in the app
- Apple — handles sign-in and any purchases
- Anyone we are legally required to disclose it to
Other players see your display name and your scores where you appear on a leaderboard or in a duel. They see nothing else.
7. How long we keep it
For as long as your account exists. Delete the account and the data attached to it goes with it — see deleting your account, which sets out exactly what is removed and what remains.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to see the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to have it deleted, to object to some uses of it, and to receive a copy of it. Deletion is available immediately in the app. For anything else, write to info@trickquiz.com and we will respond within the period the law allows.
9. Security
Data is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored with access controls that limit each account to its own rows. No system is perfectly secure, and we will tell you promptly if something happens that affects you.
10. International transfers
Our providers operate in several countries, so your information may be processed outside the country you live in. Where that involves a transfer out of the European Economic Area or the UK, it is made under the safeguards those laws require.
11. Changes
We will post any update on this page and change the date at the top. If a change materially affects you, we will say so in the app rather than relying on you to notice.
