3. How your data is used

4. Who we share data with

We do not sell or share your personal data (email, password) with any third party. Data is processed through these services:

5. What's publicly visible

Only your username, points/score and reviews (if submitted) may appear publicly on the leaderboard or homepage. Your email address, real name, or password are never displayed publicly.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

GyanIQ uses your browser's localStorage so you don't have to log in repeatedly (to remember your login session) and to keep track of things like which quiz questions you've already seen. Beyond this, GyanIQ uses standard Google Analytics tracking, and pages with ads use Google AdSense cookies to show and measure ads. You can view or opt out of personalised Google ads anytime at adssettings.google.com.

7. Your rights

8. Children's Privacy

GyanIQ builds educational games that students can use, but you must be 13 years or older to create an account. If you believe a child has created an account without parental permission, please contact us.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any major changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date on this page.
