Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2025-08-16

Who we are

Friendship tester (“we”, “us”, “our”) provides lightweight, social mini-games. We can be reached at friendshipquizer@gmail.com.

Scope

This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights. It applies to our website, shared links, and game pages.

What we collect

  • Game data: nicknames you enter; quiz/vote answers; scores; leaderboards.
  • Technical data: device/browser info, IP (transient in server logs), timestamps, diagnostic/error logs for reliability and abuse prevention.
  • Cookies/Similar tech: only if necessary for core features, and—if ads are enabled—advertising cookies (e.g., Google AdSense). Where required, we will ask for consent first.

Where the data comes from

  • You: text you type (e.g., nickname) and choices you make in games.
  • Automatic: basic logs produced by our hosting and scripts for security and performance.

How we use data

  • Run the service (create links, tally results, show leaderboards).
  • Maintain quality, fix bugs, protect against spam/abuse.
  • Show ads (if enabled), comply with law, and enforce Terms.

Legal bases (GDPR/UK GDPR)

  • Performance of a contract: provide the game features you request.
  • Legitimate interests: service security, metrics to keep things working.
  • Consent: where required for cookies/ads; you can withdraw at any time.
  • Legal obligation: comply with applicable laws and requests.

Where and how we store data

Gameplay responses and leaderboards are stored in Google Sheets via Google Apps Script. We do not require accounts or real names to play. Access is restricted and logs are retained for a limited time necessary for security and operations.

When we share data

  • Service providers: hosting and script providers (e.g., Google Apps Script/Sheets) that process data under our instructions.
  • Advertising (optional): if we enable AdSense, ad vendors may receive limited data via tags/cookies to serve ads. We will honor consent where required.
  • Legal/safety: to comply with law, enforce Terms, or protect users and our service.

International data transfers

Your data may be processed in countries outside your own. Where required (e.g., EEA/UK), we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) offered by our processors.

How long we keep data

  • Leaderboard/game entries: kept until the game owner deletes them or until operational needs are met; aggregated stats may be kept longer without identifying details.
  • Technical logs: retained for a short, necessity-based period for troubleshooting/security.
  • Ad cookies (if any): according to each vendor’s policy; consent choices are respected.

Cookies & ads

We aim to use minimal cookies. Core cookies help the site work (e.g., language/theme). If we enable ads (e.g., Google AdSense), vendors may use cookies to serve personalized or non-personalized ads. In regions requiring consent, we will present a consent prompt and honor your choices. You can also control cookies in your browser settings.

Your privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have the rights below. We will respond as required by applicable law.

  • GDPR/UK GDPR (EEA/UK): access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection; right to withdraw consent; lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
  • California (CCPA/CPRA): know/access, correct, delete, opt-out of “sale”/“sharing” (cross-context ads), and limit use of sensitive data. We do not “sell” data in the traditional sense; if we share for ads, you can opt-out where required.
  • Brazil (LGPD): confirm processing, access, correction, anonymization/blocking/deletion, portability, information on sharing, withdraw consent, and review decisions.
  • Other regions (e.g., Canada, Australia, Singapore, South Korea, South Africa): similar rights may apply under local law.

To exercise rights or ask for deletion of a specific leaderboard entry, email us at friendshipquizer@gmail.com. We may ask for information to verify your request.

Children

Our service is designed for general audiences and not directed to children under 13 (or the age defined by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child provided us data, contact us to remove it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the service’s nature. No system is 100% secure; please share only minimal information needed to play.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted on this page with an updated date.
