GeoQuiz

Every question gives you four options, and the wrong answers are chosen to be plausible rather than random, so a lucky guess is genuinely harder than knowing the answer. The entire country database ships inside the app — there is no sign-up, no network request, and nothing to sync. Open it on a plane and it behaves exactly the same as it does at home.

CS42.org ("we", "us", "our") built the GeoQuiz app as a free application. GeoQuiz does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information. It contains no networking code, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs — there is nothing for us to see.

1. Information We Collect

None. GeoQuiz does not ask for your name, email address, or any other personal detail, and it has no user accounts.

2. Information Stored on Your Device

The app saves a small amount of data locally so it can remember your progress and preferences between launches:

• Your quiz results — score, total questions, region, mode, and the date.
• Your selected colour theme.
• Whether sound effects are switched on.

This is written to the app's own private storage on your device. It is never uploaded anywhere, and it is not included in any analytics.

3. Network Activity

GeoQuiz makes no network requests. The country database and all imagery are bundled inside the app, so it works identically with the device in Airplane Mode. The Settings screen contains one link to cs42.org — tapping it hands the address to your browser; the app itself does not load the page, and nothing about you is attached to the link.

4. Third Parties

The app embeds no advertising networks, analytics services, crash reporters, or social media SDKs. No data is shared with anyone because no data is gathered.

5. Permissions

GeoQuiz requests no system permissions. It does not use the camera, microphone, location services, contacts, photos, or notifications.

6. Children's Privacy

Because the app collects nothing, it is suitable for all ages and complies with children's privacy regulations by design. The App is rated 4+.

7. Deleting Your Data

Clearing your score history from within the app removes those records immediately. Deleting the app removes everything it has stored.

8. Changes to This Policy

If a future version of the app changes what it stores, this policy will be updated before that version ships.

9. Contact Us

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, contact us at hello@cs42.org.

Does GeoQuiz need an internet connection?

No. Every country, flag, and question is bundled inside the app. It works in Airplane Mode and never contacts a server.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There are no accounts and no sign-in. Your scores are saved on the device itself.

How many questions are in a quiz?

Ten per round, drawn from whichever region you picked, with four answer options each.

How are the wrong answers chosen?

They're picked to be plausible rather than random — for example, other countries from the same continent, or populations of a similar magnitude — so guessing is genuinely harder than knowing.

Can I turn the sound off?

Yes. Tap the gear icon on the home screen and switch off "Sound effects". The app also follows your device's ringer switch and will never interrupt music you're already playing.

How do I change the theme?

Tap the gear icon on the home screen. There are seven themes, including two dark ones. Your choice is remembered between launches.

How do I delete my score history?

Open Score History from the home screen and tap the trash icon in the top right. Deleting the app also removes everything it has stored.

Some country data looks out of date. Can you fix it?

Please email the specific country and field and it'll be corrected in the next release. The database is bundled with the app, so corrections ship as app updates.
