This Privacy Policy explains how Weekly Quiz (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use weeklyquiz.net and our related subdomains (the “Site”), including any quizzes, articles, and features we provide (the “Services”).
If you do not agree with this Policy, please discontinue use of the Services. For questions, contact info@weeklyquiz.net.
1) Who we are & scope
Weekly Quiz publishes short, factual quizzes and learning content. This Policy applies to all visitors and users of the Site, whether you browse, play a quiz, submit feedback, or contact us.
Data Controller: Weekly Quiz (Metro Manila, Philippines)
Contact: info@weeklyquiz.net
2) Information we collect
A. Information you provide directly
Contact details (e.g., name, email) when you email us, submit a form, or request support.
Feedback and inquiries (message text, attachments, URLs you reference).
Account details (if accounts are offered now or later): display name, email, settings.
Newsletter sign-ups (if enabled): email address and your consent preferences.
B. Information collected automatically
When you visit or use the Services, we may automatically collect:
Usage data: pages viewed, referring/exit pages, time on page, clicks, quiz attempts, and general interactions.
Device & log data: IP address (or truncated IP), browser type, operating system, date/time stamps, and error logs.
Approximate location: inferred from your IP (city/region level) to understand audience reach and detect abuse.
C. Cookies, local storage, and similar technologies
We use these to:
Remember quiz states/settings (e.g., dark mode, last quiz opened).
Measure performance and improve the Site (analytics).
Support security (rate limiting, fraud detection).
If enabled, personalize content or limit duplicate prompts.
You can manage cookies via your browser settings and (where available) our cookie banner or preferences link.
3) How we use information
We process information to:
Operate the Services (run quizzes, load pages, maintain security).
Improve quality (debug issues, analyze engagement, optimize performance and accessibility).
Communicate (respond to emails, send administrative notices, and—if you opt in—newsletters).
Ensure integrity (detect/prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms).
Comply with law and enforce our Terms, protect our rights, users, and the public.
4) Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK)
Where the GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we rely on:
Legitimate interests (site security, audience measurement that respects privacy, service improvement).
Consent (non-essential cookies, newsletters).
Contract (if you create an account or subscribe to a service).
Legal obligation (responding to lawful requests, recordkeeping).
You may withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis.
5) Analytics, measurement & third parties
We may use privacy-respecting analytics (e.g., Google Analytics with IP anonymization and data minimization settings where available) to understand aggregate site usage. Analytics providers act as processors on our behalf and may process limited data (e.g., truncated IP, device/browser info, events).
We may also use:
Search Console/diagnostics tools to understand indexing and fix errors.
Email service providers to manage contact and newsletter communications.
Security/anti-abuse services to detect unusual traffic.
We do not sell personal data.
Opt-outs & controls:
Google Analytics Opt-Out Add-on: search for “Google Analytics opt-out add-on.”
Your browser’s cookie settings and our cookie banner (where available).
6) Advertising & affiliate disclosures
If we display advertising or use affiliate links, they will be clearly labeled. Ad or affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure performance. You can usually opt out of interest-based ads via your browser tools, device settings, and regional frameworks (e.g., aboutads.info/choices in the U.S., youronlinechoices.eu in the EU). We do not allow advertising to override factual accuracy.
7) Data sharing
We share information only with:
Service providers/processors (hosting, analytics, email, security) bound by confidentiality and data-processing terms.
Legal or safety needs (to comply with law, enforce our Terms, protect rights, prevent fraud or harm).
Business transfers (merger, acquisition, reorganization); your information may transfer under the same protections.
We do not sell your personal information.
8) International data transfers
We operate from the Philippines and may process data on servers located in other countries (e.g., U.S., EU). Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) for cross-border transfers.
9) Data retention
We keep data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined here:
Contact emails/support threads: typically 24 months after resolution.
Analytics data: commonly 14–26 months in aggregated form (provider settings permitting).
Server logs/security data: typically 90–180 days unless needed longer for investigations or legal reasons.
Account/profile data (if applicable): retained while the account is active; deleted or anonymized within a reasonable period after closure, subject to legal holds.
Retention periods may vary based on legal or operational requirements.

11) Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information (e.g., TLS in transit, hardened hosting, access controls). No online service can guarantee 100% security, but we work to prevent unauthorized access and swiftly remediate issues.
12) Children’s privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal data, contact info@weeklyquiz.net and we will take appropriate steps.
13) Do Not Track (DNT) & Global Privacy Control (GPC)
Some browsers send DNT or GPC signals. Where legally required and technically feasible, we honor valid opt-out signals for covered activities. You can also manage cookies via our banner and your browser settings.
14) AI assistance with human oversight
We may use AI tools to assist with drafting or organizing non-personal content. We do not intentionally upload personal messages or contact details to such tools without a clear purpose and, where required, your consent. Human editors review and approve final content before publication.
15) Third-party links
Our content may link to third-party sites or embeds (e.g., videos, social posts). We are not responsible for third-party privacy practices. Review their policies before engaging.
16) Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. The “Last updated” date shows the latest revision. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice (e.g., on-site banner or email, where appropriate). Continued use of the Services after updates means you accept the revised Policy.
