It applies to your use of any online service location that posts a link to this Privacy Policy including, without limitation, the Trivia Maker website or application (“Site”) and any offline location that makes this Privacy Policy available to you.

If you have any questions or wish to exercise your rights and choices, please contact us as set out in the “Complaints and Contact Information” section. If you are a Nevada resident, California resident, or data subject in Europe, please see the additional disclosures at the end of this Privacy Policy.
PURPOSE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to help you better understand how we store, collect, and process your information. In particular, by using the Site or interacting with us offline, you agree to our Terms of Use and you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your information, and other activities as described in this Privacy Policy, including any updates or revisions to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, discontinue use of the Site.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
TriviaMaker has the discretion to update this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the updated date. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy periodically and become aware of modifications. Your continued use of the Site indicates your consent to the Privacy Policy then posted.
INFORMATION TRIVIAMAKER COLLECTS
When you engage in certain activities via the Site, including but not limited to creating an account, sending feedback, or otherwise participating in the Site, or interacting with us offline, we collect certain information about you. We collect the following categories of information:
- Account Data, including your username, password, and information for authentication and account access.
- Billing Data, including your payment instrument number (such as a credit or debit card number), expiration date, and security code as necessary to process your payments.
- Contact Data, including your email address.
- Profile Data, including games you created, your collections, and your favorites.
- Content, including content within any messages you send to us (such as feedback and questions to customer support).
You may choose to voluntarily provide other information to us that we do not request, and, in such instances, you are solely responsible for such information.
INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY
In addition, we automatically collect information when you use the Site. The categories of information we automatically collect include:
- Service Use Data, including data about features you use, pages you visit, emails, and advertisements you view, products and services you view and purchase, the time of day you browse, and your referring and exiting pages.
- Device Data, including data about your device’s identification number and device type, your device’s operating software, your internet service provider, your device’s regional and language settings, device identifiers such as IP address and Ad Id, your mobile carrier, and your mobile carrier user identification.
- Location Data, including imprecise location data (such as location derived from an IP address or data that indicated a city or postal code level) and, with your consent, location data (such as latitude/longitude data).
COOKIES AND RELATED TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
Our Site uses tracking technologies to automatically collect information. The types of tracking technologies we use include:
Log files, which are files that record event that occur in connection with your use of the Site.
Cookies, which are small data files stored on your device that act as a unique tag to identify your browser. We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate the Site and can be used to track your session on the Site. They expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are used to customize our website content for you as an individual, remember your preferences, and support security features. Additionally, persistent cookies allow us to bring you advertising off the Site. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time, and generally may be controlled through your browser settings.
Pixels (also known as web beacons), which is code embedded when you access our Site, in our emails with you, and in our products and services that send information about your use to a server. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are small graphic images) and JavaScript pixels (which contains JavaScript code). We use pixels in combination with cookies to attribute visits to our websites to other sources, to serve ads from our vendors, to measure performance and engagement, and to provide you with additional functionality.
Device Fingerprinting, which is the process of analyzing and combining sets of data elements from your device’s browser, such as JavaScript objects and installed fonts, to create a “fingerprint” of your device and uniquely identify your browser and device.
App Technologies, which are technologies included in our apps that are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by browser settings. For example, our apps include SDKs, including the Facebook SDK, which is code that sends information about your use to a server. These SDKs allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising both on and off the Service, and provide you with additional functionality, such as the ability to connect our Service with your social media account.
Location-Identifying Technologies, which are technologies used to collect your location. For example, GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth may be used to collect precise location data when you consent to precise location tracking through our apps. Location data may be used for purposes such as verifying your device’s location and delivering or restricting relevant content and advertising based on that location.
For further information on how we use tracking technologies for analytics and advertising, and your rights and choices regarding them, see the “Analytics and Advertising” and “Your Rights and Choices” sections below.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM OTHER SOURCES
We also collect information from other sources. The categories of sources from which we collect information include:
- Social networks with which you interact.
- Partners that offer co-branded services, sell or distribute our products, or engage in joint marketing activities.
- Publicly available sources, including data in the public domain.
TriviaMaker’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
PURPOSE FOR USING YOUR INFORMATION
TriviaMaker collects and uses information for business and commercial purposes in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Our business purposes for collecting and using information include the following:
- To operate, manage, and improve the Site;
- To perform services requested by you, such as respond to service requests and support customer needs more efficiently;
- To personalize user experience;
- To send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, information regarding changes to our policies, and support and administrative messages;
- To prevent and address fraud, breach of policies or terms, and threats of harm;
- We use information in the aggregate to understand how our users as a group use the services and resources provided on the Site;
- To conduct research, including focus groups and surveys;
- To improve our Site and other TriviaMaker websites, apps, marketing efforts, products and services;
- To run a promotion, contest, or other Site feature, including verifying your eligibility and delivering prizes in connection with your winning entries;
- To develop and send advertising, direct marketing, and communications about topics we think will be of interest, and about our and other entities’ products, offers, promotions, rewards, events, and services;
- To send periodic emails;
- To fulfill any other purpose at your direction; and
- With notice to you and your consent.
Notwithstanding the above, we may use information that does not identify you (including information that has been aggregated or de-identified) for any purpose except as prohibited by applicable law. For information on your rights and choices regarding how we use information about you, please see the “Your Rights and Choices” section below.
ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING
We use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand how users access and use the Site. In addition, we work with agencies, advertisers, and other technology services to place ads about our products and services on other websites and services. For example, we place ads through Google and Facebook that you may view on their platforms as well as on other websites and services.
As part of this process, we may use tracking technologies, such as cookies, pixels, and web beacons, in the Site, including when you use or interact with our Site, marketing communications, advertising content and/or other websites, in order to provide you with relevant advertising based on your browsing activities and interests across time and services (“Interest-based Advertising”).
We also use audience matching services to reach people (or people similar to people) who have visited our Service or are identified in one or more of our databases (“Matched Ads”). This is done by us uploading a customer list to another party or incorporating a pixel from another party into our own Service, and the other party matching common factors between our data and their data or other datasets. For instance, we incorporate the Facebook pixel on our Service and may share your email address with Facebook as part of our use of Facebook Custom Audiences.
Vendors and other parties, as we will indicate below, may act as our service providers, or in certain contexts, independently decide how to process your information. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use.
For further information on the types of tracking technologies we use on the Site and your rights and choices regarding analytics, Matched Ads and Interest-based Advertising, please see the “Information Collected Automatically” and “Your Rights and Choices” sections.

We do not control the content or links that appear on these websites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our Site. In addition, these websites or services, including their content and links, may constantly change. These websites and services have their own policies that govern their independent collection and solicitation of information from you.

Please note that the social network may independently collect information about you through the integration.
- Brand Pages and Chatbots. We may offer our content through social media. Any information you provide to us when you engage with our content (such as through our brand page or via our chatbot on Facebook Messenger) is treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

- Tracking Technology Choices
Cookies and Pixels. Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can set up your browser to either let you know when you receive a cookie, to decline cookies, or to deny cookie access to your computer. If you use multiple browsers on your device, you will need to instruct each browser separately. Your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.
Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Please note that because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor “Do Not Track” signals or alter our information collection and usage practices when we detect such a signal from your browser. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
App and Location Technologies. You can stop all collection of information via our app by uninstalling the app. You can also reset your device Ad Id at any time through your device settings, which is designed to allow you to limit the use of information collected about you. You can stop all collection of precise location data through an app by uninstalling the app or withdrawing your consent through your device settings.
Please be aware that if you disable or remove tracking technologies some parts of the Site may not function correctly.
- Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising
Google provides tools to allow you to opt out of the use of certain information collected by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and by Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The companies we work with to provide you with targeted ads are required by us to give you the choice to opt out of receiving targeted ads. Most of these companies are participants of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the targeted ads provided by these companies, and how to opt out of receiving certain targeted ads from them, please visit: (i) for website targeted ads from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/choices; (ii) for app targeted ads from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/appchoices; and (iii) for targeted ads from NAI participants, https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Opting out only means that the selected participants should no longer deliver certain targeted ads to you, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., in connection with the participants’ other customers or from other technology services).
You may also limit our use of information collected from or about your mobile device for purposes of serving targeted ads to you by going to your device settings and selecting “Limit Ad Tracking” (for iOS devices) or “Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads” (for Android devices).
Please note that if you opt out using any of these methods, the opt out will only apply to the specific browser or device from which you opt out. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any opt out options or programs, or the accuracy of any other entities’ statements regarding their opt-out options or programs.
DATA SECURITY
We implement and maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical security safeguards to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of information about you.

We are based in the United States and the information we collect is governed by United States law. If you are accessing the Site from outside the United States , please be aware that information collected through the Site may be transferred to, processed, stored, and used in the United States and other jurisdictions. Data protection laws in the United States and other jurisdictions may be different from those of your country of residence.

OUR NOTICE TO CALIFORNIS RESIDENTS
These additional disclosures apply only to California residents. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) provides additional rights to know, delete and opt-out, and requires businesses collecting or disclosing personal information to provide notices and means to exercise rights.

We collect and use these categories of personal information for the business purposes described in the “Purpose for Using Your Information” section above, including to manage our Site.
Under the CCPA, “sell” is defined broadly, and some of our data sharing practices may be considered a “sale.”
We do not generally sell information as the term “sell” is traditionally understood.
To the extent “sale” under the CCPA is interpreted to include the activities set out in this Privacy Policy, such as those disclosed in the “Analytics and Advertising” section above, we will comply with applicable law as to such activity. We disclose the following categories of personal information for commercial purposes: identifiers, characteristics, commercial or transactions information, internet activity, geolocation data, and inferences drawn. Please review the “Sharing of Information” section above for further details about the categories of parties with whom we share information.

- Authorized Agent.
You can designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. However, we will require written proof of the agent’s permission to do so and verify your identity directly.
- Right to Non-Discrimination.
You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of any your rights.
- Shine the Light.
If you are a California resident, you may request (i) a list of the categories of personal information disclosed by us to third parties during the immediately preceding calendar year for those third parties’ own direct marketing purposes; and (ii) a list of the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed such information. To exercise a request, please write us at the email or postal address set out in “Complaints and Contact Information” above and specify that you are making a “California Shine the Light Request.” We may require additional information from you to allow us to verify your identity and are only required to respond to requests once during any calendar year.
