Privacy Policy
What we store. Your email address (for sign-in) and the quizzes you create. Authentication is handled by Supabase; we don’t store passwords.
Players using buzzers. When someone joins a quiz on their phone, the first name they type, the fact that they buzzed and any answers they type in a written or quickfire round are stored on our servers so the host’s screen can show who is in the room and mark what came in. No account, email or phone number is involved. We keep these alongside the quiz, rather than deleting them automatically, so a host can look back at a party’s scores and answers afterward — see “Past results” below. Deleting the quiz — or the quiz owner’s account — removes them straight away, and you can ask us to remove them sooner.
Past results. When you host a quiz, we keep a record of that party — its final scores, the questions asked and the answers your guests typed — so you can look back at it from your dashboard afterward. Unlike the quiz itself, a party’s record survives if you later rename, edit or delete the quiz it was played on, and it is removed only when your account is deleted.
How it’s used. We use your email to sign you in and confirm purchases or plan changes. Quiz tips, offers and monthly questions are three separate switches in Account, on unless you turn them off; each of those emails has a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing from one leaves the others alone. We keep a delivery record so we do not send the same message twice. Sent email bodies and recipient addresses are cleared from that record after 90 days. We don’t sell your data.
Website statistics and ad measurement. We use Google Tag Manager to load two kinds of measurement: Google Analytics, which counts visits and shows which pages people arrive on, and ad measurement from Google and Meta, which tells us which video or post brought a host here. Tag Manager loads on every page of this site, including before you answer the banner, and loading it tells Google your IP address and which page you are on. Until you choose, everything it loads runs in a restricted mode: nothing is stored on your device, and what is sent carries no identifier, so a visit cannot be tied to you or to a later one. Google uses those anonymous records to estimate the traffic it cannot see. If you accept, cookies are stored and the full measurement is sent; if you accept statistics only, the advertising half stays off; if you decline, it stays in the restricted mode described above. You can change your answer below at any time. None of it is ever loaded on the screens a party sees — a television showing a quiz, or a player’s buzzer phone — and it is switched off on those pages if you arrived there with it already running, so joining someone else’s party involves no measurement whether you accepted or not.
We also keep our own count of which pages are visited. This records the page path, language, country, referring site and device type. A daily key made from the visitor’s IP address and browser details helps us count visitors without keeping the raw address; the key changes each day, so it cannot follow anyone from one day to the next. This count writes nothing to your device and is deleted after 90 days. We never record it on a television showing a quiz or a player’s buzzer phone.
Live chat. The chat widget is provided by Tawk.to on our marketing, account, dashboard and quiz editing pages. Loading it connects your browser to Tawk.to, which receives technical information such as your IP address and browser details. Tawk.to may use cookies and browser storage to keep a chat connected across pages. Messages you send through the widget are handled by Tawk.to so we can reply to you.
Game play state. A board’s scores and which tiles you’ve used are stored locally in your own browser, not on our servers. The marks you give in written rounds are stored with the quiz, so a second host screen sees the same marks, and are removed when the quiz is deleted.
Your rights (GDPR). You can start account deletion from Account. If you have a billing customer record, contact support so any subscription is resolved first. Deletion permanently removes your email, profile, all your quizzes, every party’s past results, and the player names recorded against them.
Messages you send us. What you type into the contact form — your name, your email address and your message — is emailed straight to us and is not stored in a database. It then lives in our inbox like any other email, and we delete it once we no longer need it for the conversation it started. So the form can’t be used to send mail on someone else’s behalf, we keep a one-way hash of the IP address each message was sent from — never the address itself — and delete it within 24 hours.
Processors. We use Supabase (auth + database), Vercel (hosting), Google (Tag Manager, Analytics and Ads, as described above), Meta (ad measurement, as described above) and Tawk.to (live chat, as described above). Sign-in, contact and lifecycle emails are sent via Resend, and both the sign-in page and the contact form use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots, which processes your IP address and browser signals. So that the sign-in form can’t be used to send email to people who didn’t ask for it, we keep a one-way hash of the address and the IP address it was requested from — never the address itself — and delete it within 24 hours. When you ask the AI to write questions, your theme and the quiz’s existing questions are sent through the Vercel AI Gateway to the AI model provider (OpenAI by default) to generate them.
Who we are. The Party Quiz is operated by EXPX B.V., Schiedamse Vest 154, 3011 BH Rotterdam, the Netherlands, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under KVK 70364338. EXPX B.V. is the controller of the personal data described here.
