Privacy policy
In short: we use no cookies, we count visits without being able to recognise you, and a family account only stores what you type in yourselves.
Statistics without cookies
We count which pages are viewed, which games are started and finished, how long a game lasts, the language, the general screen type (e.g. tablet or phone) and which domain you came from, if any.
To count unique visitors per day, the server creates a code from your IP address, your browser and a random number that changes every night. The code and the IP address are never stored, and we can’t recognise you from one day to the next. We only store total numbers per day.
If your browser has “Do Not Track” or “Global Privacy Control” switched on, we send no statistics at all.
Family account and Hall of Fame
A family account is optional and doesn’t need an email address. We store the family name, a PIN code that is only stored encrypted (as a hash), and the members you create yourselves: first name, an emoji or a small picture, a colour and, if you like, year of birth so we can suggest games that suit their age.
When you record a result, we store the game, the time, the placings and any points. It’s only used for your own Hall of Fame and is never shown to anyone else.
Only use first names or nicknames. Only add children to the family if you are their parent or guardian.
Your own quizzes
If you make a quiz and share it with a code, we store the quiz so that everyone with the code can play it. You can delete the shared quiz again.
Quiz with phones
When you take part in a quiz, your phone shares your name, your answers and your optional selfie with the other players in that quiz. This information only exists while the quiz is running and is not saved afterwards.
Local storage
GameBase stores a few settings in your browser, e.g. your choice of language, the name you last used in the quiz and the key to your family account so you stay logged in. Without a family account, your results are only stored on the device.
Third parties
Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, and QR codes are made with a library from cdnjs. These services can see your IP address when the files are loaded. We don’t use any advertising or tracking services.
How to delete your data
Log in on the Family account page and choose “Delete the family and all data”. We then immediately delete the family, all members, results, your own quizzes and shared quiz codes. You can remove local settings by clearing your browser’s data for the site.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct and delete the information your family has stored. You can do most of it yourselves on the Family account page. If you have any questions, just write to us.
Contact
If you have questions about privacy, or want access to, correction or deletion of your data, email us.
We usually reply within a few working days.
Changes
We update this policy if we change the way we handle data. The date at the bottom shows the latest change.
