Privacy

We collect as little as we can: an email address if you sign in, your scores, and basic technical data to keep the site running. We do not sell your personal information. Your email is never shown to other players.

What we collect

• Your email address, only if you sign in or buy All Access. We use it to send your sign-in link and purchase receipts.
• A random public handle (like "Lucky Puffin") that appears on leaderboards. You can re-roll it any time. We never show your email.
• Gameplay data: your answers, scores, streaks and finished rounds. On your device this lives in your browser's storage; for signed-in members it is also saved with your account.
• Purchase records: which plan you bought, when, and the PayPal order reference. We never see or store your card number; PayPal handles payment.
• Technical data: your IP address, browser type and the pages you request, kept in server logs to keep the site secure and fix errors.

Cookies and local storage

We use a small session cookie so you stay signed in and your game in progress is remembered. Your browser's local storage keeps your progress and preferences (like voice and map style) on your device. We do not use advertising cookies.

Who else sees data

• PayPal processes payments under its own privacy policy.
• An email service delivers our sign-in links and receipts.
• Content delivery and map providers (for example fonts, icons and map tiles) receive your IP address when your browser loads their files, as happens on most websites.

We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the site and its players.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and scores while your account exists. Server logs are kept for a limited time. Purchase records are kept as long as we need them for accounting and support.

Your choices

• You can play the daily game without an account.
• You can ask to see, correct or delete the information tied to your account through our contact page.
• You can clear your browser's storage and cookies at any time; you will simply be signed out and lose progress saved only on that device.

Children

GeoQuote is a general-audience trivia game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think we have, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

If we change this page in a meaningful way we will update the date above. Questions? Contact us.
