Privacy Policy

Last updated on August 14, 2024

This privacy policy ("Policy") describes how Geography Help ("we", "us", "our") collects, protects, and uses information provided by users ("User", "you", "your") when using our website (geography.help).

Collection of Personal Information

Our website does not collect any personal information, except for information knowingly provided through the contact form, such as your email address. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry.

Twitch Integration

For Twitch chat-integrated quizzes, users can connect their Twitch account to participate. This connection allows users to submit guesses via Twitch chat while streaming. However, no login data or personal information is collected by our website. The login data is stored locally in the user's browser, and users can disconnect their Twitch account at any time.

Collection of Non-Personal Information

When you visit the Website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends, such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, and country of origin. This data is anonymized and does not include personal information.

Quizzes and Data Collection

Our website offers various quizzes. When participating in a quiz, the following non-personal data is collected:

  • Quiz type (classic or Twitch, complete or standard)
  • Quiz result (score or outcome)
  • Number of attempts made

This data is used to generate anonymous statistics for improving the user experience on our website and does not include any personally identifiable information.

Use of Quiz Data for Public Statistics

The number of quiz attempts is publicly displayed on our website in the form of charts, which show the overall number of attempts across the different quizzes. These statistics are updated in real-time and are publicly available, but they do not include any personal or identifiable data.

Analytics and Tracking

We use Umami Analytics to track the number of visits to our site and individual subpages. Umami is a privacy-focused, cookie-less analytics tool that collects the following non-personal data:

  • Page views
  • Visits to subpages
  • Country of origin of the visit (based on anonymized IP address)

Since Umami does not use cookies or track personal data, no consent banner is required. You can find this information in our privacy policy linked in the footer.

Use of Contact Form Information

When you submit information through the contact form, the data is sent directly to our email address at info@geography.help. The information you provide is used only to respond to your message and is not shared with any third parties, used for marketing, newsletters, or any other purpose.

Data Retention

Your data is retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for the context of the ongoing communication. Afterward, it will not be stored unless required by law.

Information Security

We secure information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Legal Disclosure

We may disclose your information if required by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations or to protect our rights.

Changes and Amendments

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time. Continued use of the Website after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

You have the right to request access to the data you submitted, correct any inaccuracies, or request its deletion. For any questions, concerns, or to exercise these rights, please contact us at info@geography.help.
