History Trivia has no accounts. It never asks for your name, your email, or your age, and it stores nothing about you on a server. This page explains the little that is left.

Who is responsible

This game is run by Mateus Araujo Santos, an individual based in Brazil. [contact address pending]

What stays on your device

Your progress — experience points, which events you have uncovered, the difficulty you picked, and whether you have played today — is saved in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your device and we cannot read it. Clearing your browser data erases it, and nothing of yours is lost anywhere else, because there is nowhere else.

Cookies and measurement

We use Google Analytics to understand how the game is played: how many people start a round, which questions people give up on, whether the daily round brings anyone back. This is the only thing that leaves your device, and it is your choice.

• If you decline, no analytics cookie is set and the Google Analytics script is never downloaded. Nothing about your visit is sent anywhere.
• If you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies that let it recognise a returning browser, so that ten visits from you are not counted as ten people.
• Until you answer, measurement runs without cookies: we can see that a visit happened, but not that it was the same browser as yesterday.

Advertising features are switched off and cannot be switched on by accepting: no ad personalisation, no ad measurement, and no cross-device linking through Google accounts. We do not run ads, we do not sell data, and we do not build profiles of players.

Google processes this data on servers in the United States. Google acts as our processor under its data processing terms.

What we never collect

No name, no email address, no password, no date of birth, no payment details, no precise location. The game asks you to click a spot on a world map; that click is a guess about history, and it says nothing about where you are.

Children

History Trivia is made for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age — there is no account to create and no field to type into. If you are a parent or guardian and have a question about this, please write to us.

Your rights

If you are in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Brazil, the law gives you the right to see what data is held about you, to correct it, to have it deleted, and to withdraw consent. In practice there is very little to exercise these rights against, because we hold nothing that identifies you: the honest answer to “what do you have on me?” is “nothing that could be matched to you”. You can withdraw analytics consent at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which brings the choice back.

You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority — your national data protection authority in the EU, the ICO in the United Kingdom, or the ANPD in Brazil.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects you — most likely when accounts and subscriptions arrive — the date at the top changes with it.
