This Privacy Policy explains how bingweeklyquiz.net (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Site”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit, use, or interact with the Site.
Who we are
Website: https://bingweeklyquiz.net/
Contact: info@bingweeklyquiz.net
For purposes of global privacy laws (including GDPR/UK GDPR and similar frameworks), we act as the data controller for personal information collected through the Site.
Unofficial status
We are an unofficial companion site for users who enjoy Bing-style trivia content. We are not affiliated with Microsoft or Bing, and we do not publish Microsoft’s official quiz answers.
Information we collect
Information you provide directly
Emails you send to us (support, feedback, corrections).
Form entries you submit (such as contact or feedback forms, if enabled).
Information collected automatically
Server logs: IP address, device/browser information (user-agent), date/time, pages visited, referrer URL, and basic error/diagnostic data.
Cookies and similar technologies: Used for essential site functions and, where enabled, analytics and advertising.
Analytics data: Aggregated usage metrics like page views, time on page, device type, and approximate location. We do not use analytics to personally identify you.
Quiz interactions
We may collect non-identifying details about quiz usage (such as categories played, completion time, scores, and general difficulty) to improve quiz quality and user experience.
We do not publish public leaderboards that contain personally identifying information.
Sensitive information
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal data (such as health data, political opinions, or religious beliefs). Please do not submit sensitive information to us.
How we use your information
We use information to:
Operate, secure, and maintain the Site (fraud prevention, debugging, performance, and abuse prevention).
Provide and improve content (quizzes, explanations, and related articles).
Understand aggregate usage and improve the Site (analytics and performance measurement).
Respond to you when you contact us.
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies.
Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK/Switzerland)
Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following:
Legitimate interests (site security, basic measurement, improvement, and abuse prevention).
Consent (non-essential cookies, analytics, and personalized advertising where required).
Contract (responding to your requests, such as support inquiries).
Legal obligation (compliance with applicable laws and lawful requests).
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
Essential cookies (core functionality, basic security, and quiz operation).
Performance/analytics cookies (optional; help us understand usage in aggregate).
Advertising cookies (used by us and/or advertising partners to deliver, measure, and improve ads, subject to consent and local law).
You can manage cookies via your browser settings (block/delete). If we display a consent banner, you can also adjust or withdraw your choices there. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
Advertising (including Google AdSense)
We may display advertising to support the Site, including ads served by Google AdSense and other ad partners.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to:
Serve ads on the Site, including personalized ads where allowed by law and your consent settings.
Measure ad performance and limit repeated ads.
Help detect and prevent fraud and abuse.
Depending on your location, you may be able to manage ad personalization or opt out of certain personalized ads using the tools provided by Google and industry groups (see “Helpful links” below).
We do not allow advertisers to access your personal contact details (like your email) through our ad placements.
Analytics and third parties
We may use analytics tools to understand how users interact with the Site. These services may use cookies or receive limited data (such as browser type, device information, and approximate location) to produce aggregate reports.
If advertising is enabled, ad partners may also collect information through cookies or device identifiers according to their own privacy policies and your consent settings.
Data sharing
We share information only with:
Service providers / processors (hosting, CDN, security tools, analytics providers, and advertising partners) under agreements requiring appropriate protections.
Legal and safety (to comply with law or protect rights, users, and public safety).
Business transfers (merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets; subject to a successor policy with equal or stronger protection).
We do not sell personal information. We do not rent personal information.
Data retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary:
Server logs: up to 90 days (longer if needed for security investigations).
Contact emails/forms: up to 24 months after our last communication.
Analytics/measurement data: up to 26 months in aggregate form (or provider defaults).
We may retain information longer where required by law or to resolve disputes. When no longer needed, we delete or anonymize data where feasible.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards (such as HTTPS where available, access controls, and monitoring). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or a higher age threshold where local law applies). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact info@bingweeklyquiz.net and we will take steps to delete it.
International transfers
We may store and process information on servers located outside your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers (such as contractual protections).
Your rights
Your rights depend on where you live. Subject to legal exemptions, you may have the right to:
Access your personal information.
Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Delete/erase information in certain circumstances.
Restrict or object to certain processing (including some profiling).
Receive your information in a portable format.
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise rights, email info@bingweeklyquiz.net. We may request information to verify your identity.
California (CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to request disclosure, correction, or deletion of personal information, and to opt out of certain “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising (if applicable).
To make a request, email info@bingweeklyquiz.net. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
EEA/UK/Switzerland
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve your concern.
Philippines (Data Privacy Act of 2012)
If you are in the Philippines, you may exercise rights to be informed, object, access, rectify, erase/block, and data portability. You may also file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission. To make a request, email info@bingweeklyquiz.net.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no consistent industry standard for DNT, we do not respond to DNT signals in a specific way. You can manage tracking through browser settings and any consent tools we provide.
Third-party links
Our content may include links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. Please review their privacy policies when you visit those sites.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date reflects the latest version. Your continued use of the Site after updates means you accept the revised Policy.
