Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 21, 2026 · Last updated: September 13, 2026
The short version: 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.
CS42.org ("we", "us", "our") built the GeoQuiz app as a free application. This page explains what data the App handles and the controls you have over it.
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 Country of the Day history. Your current streak, your best streak, how many you have played, and the result of the last one.
- Your selected colour theme.
- Your gameplay preferences, sound effects, haptic feedback, auto-advance and its timing, and the optional question timer.
This is written to the app's own private storage on your device. Your Country of the Day streak is kept in a container GeoQuiz shares with its own home screen widget, so the widget can display it. That container is still on your device and is not readable by other apps. None of it is ever uploaded anywhere, and none of it is 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 opens that address outside the app. The app itself does not load the page, and nothing about you is attached to the link. If you never tap it, the app never causes any network traffic at all.
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.
