Privacy Policy

PopQuizzer does not have a backend server, does not require you to create an account, and does not collect or receive any personal information from you.

Spotify

If you host a game, you sign in to Spotify directly through Spotify's own app or login screen. The access and refresh tokens Spotify issues are stored only in your device's Keychain and are used solely to read your playlists and control playback on your device. We never see or receive these tokens or your Spotify account details — they never leave your device except to talk directly to Spotify.

Game Center

Joining a game uses Apple's Game Center to identify you to other players with your Game Center display name. Game Center accounts and any associated data are managed entirely by Apple and are not accessible to us.

Gameplay data

Scores, timelines, and round state are exchanged directly between players' devices over Bluetooth or your local Wi-Fi network, using Apple's Multipeer Connectivity framework. This data stays on your devices and the devices you're playing with — it is never sent to us or to any server.

Because PopQuizzer has no backend, we have nothing to use — there is no data collection pipeline, no analytics, and no crash reporting built into the app. Spotify playback and Game Center identity are both handled entirely by Apple's and Spotify's own systems, under their respective privacy policies.

• Bluetooth — to discover nearby players when joining or hosting a game.
• Local Network — to find and connect to nearby players over Wi-Fi.

Neither permission is used to identify you outside of the current game session, and neither sends any data anywhere beyond the devices playing together.

PopQuizzer integrates with two third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• Spotify — for authentication and music playback on the host's device.
• Apple Game Center — for player identity when joining a game.

We do not share any information with these services beyond what's required for them to function, and we do not use any advertising or analytics services.

We do not sell, rent, or share any information, because we do not collect or hold any information in the first place. There is no PopQuizzer server or database where your data could be shared from.

PopQuizzer does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Since no account or personal data is required to play, and gameplay data never leaves the devices in the room, the app does not present the data-collection risks a server-backed app would.

Spotify tokens are stored in your device's Keychain until you sign out of Spotify in PopQuizzer or delete the app. Gameplay data (scores, timelines) exists only for the duration of a game session and is discarded when the session ends. There is nothing stored by us to retain or delete.

Spotify tokens are stored using the iOS Keychain, which encrypts data at rest and scopes it to the app. Peer-to-peer gameplay traffic uses Apple's Multipeer Connectivity framework over your local network or Bluetooth.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
