Privacy Policy (updated Nov 10th 2022)

Please Carefully Read This Privacy Policy Before Using Any Services Offered by QuizWizards.

Introduction

QuizWizards Limited is a company incorporated in Ireland with registered number: 599715 and whose registered office is at Venture House, Station Road, Portarlington, Co Laois, Ireland.

QuizWizards (“QuizWizards”, “we” or “us”) provides software that allows organisations (“Promoters”) run engaging online quizzes that are promoted to their digital audience (“Quiz Users”).

Your Security & Privacy is an important part of our platform which we take very seriously. Therefore, this Privacy Policy governs the way in which QuizWizards collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from Quiz Users. This privacy policy applies to all products or services offered by QuizWizards.

In order to ensure confidentiality and lawful processing of its Quiz User’s personal data, QuizWizards in its capacity as a data controller and of a processor, conducts its activities in strict compliance with the requirements set down by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679, a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union and the European Economic Area. GDPR requires data processing to be lawful, fair, and transparent.

This Privacy Policy applies to all Promoters, Quiz Users and visitors of our Site; https//quizwizards.com and Services. An integral part of the quiz process is user-signup and creation of profile using their email address. This information is used for the delivery of any prizes, determination of age and occasional communications between the Quiz User and Promoter. QuizWizards use this data for populating the Leaderboard. This data may only be used by the Promoter of the specific quiz, QuizWizards service providers or authorised agency acting on that promoter’s behalf, that you signed-up to. We may share Quiz Users data with our partners for market research purposes having received Quiz Users consent.

By accessing the Service, you are consenting to the information collection and use practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We are subject to the jurisdiction of the Irish Data Protection Commissioner www.dataprotection.ie. Where applicable, local laws may also apply to your situation. Our software allows our Promoters to include their own advertising banner within the quiz. This notice does not govern any of these external links.

2. QuizWizards Quiz Users

Promoters that use QuizWizards to run quizzes may require Quiz Users to supply certain information as part of that Quiz. QuizWizards processes this data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

This is done through email signup and consent check boxes.

By taking part in quizzes, you are accepting that the Promoter will have access to the information you provide.

Anonymous Play

Sharing Information with Third Parties

Our offering allows our Promoters to embed the QuizWizards platform onto their own website via an iFrame or into a banner ad. When a Quiz user signs up to that quiz, the Promoter will have access to that Quiz User’s information. They may use this data to send users occasional information in the form of newsletters, special offers and promotions they think the user may be interested in. The Customer must have agreed not to disclose this information to others. Opt-out is always available.

For the administration and delivery of Prizes, winners will be contacted by the Customer through the email address they used as part of the signup process.

We do not sell, exchange, or lease quiz user’s information to others apart from the Promoter who is running the quiz or an authorised 3rd party acting on their behalf. Once you provide access to specific data it belongs to the Promoter running that specific Quiz and only that Promoter, unless specifically specified by the Promoter, for example where they share your data with a sponsoring brand / partner.
