Introduction
Welcome to AnyTrivia! We value your privacy as much as a perfect trivia streak. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you play our game.
Information Collection and Use
We collect only the information AnyTrivia needs to work:
- Account information — if you create an account, your email address and password. Passwords are managed by Firebase Authentication, and we never see them. You can also play without providing an email, using an anonymous account.
- Game data — your AnyTokens balance, favorite topics, whether you have made a purchase, and a history of the games you play: topics, number of rounds, language, date, the players in multiplayer matches, and the questions generated. We use the question history to avoid repeating questions.
- Topics you type — sent to Google Gemini to generate your questions. Please don't include personal information in a topic.
- Multiplayer nickname — the nickname you choose when joining a match, shown to the other players in that match.
- Device identifier — an app-specific ID for your device, used to make sure the free starting AnyTokens are only claimed once per device.
- Usage and crash data — how you use the app and crash reports, collected through Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics and linked to your account ID.
- Purchases — processed by the App Store or Google Play and RevenueCat. We never receive your payment card details.
We do not collect your name, gender, photos or contacts. The camera is only used to scan a match QR code: the image is processed on your device and is never stored or uploaded. When you share a result or an invite link, it goes through your device's share menu to the app you choose.
The information we collect is retained and used as described in this privacy policy.
The app does use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. See Advertising and Third Parties for the services we use and the choices you have.
Use of Artificial Intelligence
AnyTrivia uses artificial intelligence to create its trivia questions. Every question, its answer choices and its correct answer are generated on demand by Google Gemini, a generative AI model. They are not written or checked by a person.
- What is sent — when a game starts, our servers send Gemini the topics chosen for that game, the language, the number of questions, and the questions you were recently asked on those topics, so they aren't repeated. Your account ID, email address, nickname and device identifiers are not sent.
- Where it runs — questions are generated on our servers, not on your device. Gemini processes the request under Google's Gemini API terms.
- Accuracy — AI can make mistakes. A question may occasionally contain a factual error, an outdated fact or more than one defensible answer. Treat AnyTrivia as entertainment, not as a source of reference information. If you spot a wrong question, let us know at anytrivia@ricardohs.com.
- No decisions about you — AI is used only to write questions. It does not profile you, and it makes no decisions about you or your account.
Because the topics you type are sent to Gemini, please don't include personal information, or anyone else's, in a topic.
Location Information
AnyTrivia does not access your device's location (GPS) and never asks for location permission.
To decide whether to ask for your consent before sharing data with Meta, the app checks your device's region and time zone settings. This check happens on your device.
Some third-party services, such as Firebase Analytics and Meta, may infer an approximate location (for example, your country or city) from your IP address.
Device Information
We collect information from your device in some cases, such as your device model, operating system, app version, language and time zone. The information will be utilized for the provision of better service and to prevent fraudulent acts.
With your permission, your device's advertising ID is also shared with Meta to measure the performance of our ads. See Meta SDK and Ad Measurement.
Service Providers
We may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons:
- To facilitate our Service;
- To provide the Service on our behalf;
- To perform Service-related services; or
- To assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.
We want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose — with the exception of advertising partners such as Meta, which may also use information for their own purposes under their own privacy policies, as described in Advertising and Third Parties.
Security
We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Children's Privacy
This Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. In the case we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to take necessary actions.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
Advertising and Third Parties
AnyTrivia does not show ads inside the app. We advertise AnyTrivia on other platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, and we use third-party services to run the app and to measure how well those ads perform.
Third-Party Services We Use
- Meta (Facebook and Instagram) — to measure the performance of our ads, through the Meta SDK (see below).
- Google Firebase — for sign-in, storing your game data, usage analytics and crash reports.
- Google Gemini — to generate trivia questions from the topics you choose.
- RevenueCat — to process and validate in-app purchases.
- App Store / Google Play — for processing payments.
Note: These third parties have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them to understand how they handle your data.
Meta SDK and Ad Measurement
If data sharing with Meta is turned on (see Your Choice below), AnyTrivia uses the Meta SDK to share the following with Meta Platforms, Inc.:
- App activity — app installs, app opens and in-app purchases, including the amount and currency.
- Advertising ID — your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Google Advertising ID on Android), where available.
- Device and network information — such as device model, operating system, app version, language, time zone and IP address.
Meta uses this information to measure how our ads perform, to help show our ads to people who may be interested in AnyTrivia, and for the other purposes described in Meta's Privacy Policy. We do not send your name, email address or game content to Meta.
Your Choice
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland: AnyTrivia asks for your permission after you sign in, and no app activity, purchases or advertising ID are shared with Meta unless you tap "Accept". We determine this from your device's region and time zone settings.
- Everywhere else: data sharing with Meta is on by default.
- Anyone, at any time: you can change your choice in the app under Settings → Share data with Meta. Turning it off stops sharing your advertising ID right away, and stops sharing app activity fully the next time you open the app.
Apple App Tracking Transparency
On iOS, if data sharing with Meta is on, AnyTrivia also shows Apple's "Allow AnyTrivia to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites?" prompt. Your advertising ID (IDFA) is only available if you tap "Allow". You can change this at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
On Android, you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's Google ads settings.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live (like the EU or California), you may have the right to:
- Request a copy of the data we have on you.
- Request that we delete your data.
- Withdraw your consent to data sharing with Meta at any time, in the app under Settings → Share data with Meta.
- Opt-out of targeted advertising via your device settings.
Where the law requires it (for example, in the EU), we share data with Meta for ad measurement only on the basis of your consent. Withdrawing your consent does not affect data shared before you withdrew it.
