Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how IdeaFactory Ltd ("PopQ," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use popq.app and related apps (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here. See also our Terms and Conditions.

1. Information We Collect

Account information. When you sign in with Google, we receive basic profile information from Google — typically your name, email address, and profile photo — which we use to create and identify your PopQ account. We do not receive or store your Google password.

Activity and gameplay data. We store the quizzes and polls you take, your answers, scores, and stats, and any quizzes you create with the PopQ Qwizard, so we can show your history and progress back to you.

Usage data. Like most web services, we automatically collect some technical information when you use the Service — such as pages viewed, device and browser type, and general timing/interaction data — through Google Analytics.

Cookies and similar technologies. We and our advertising partners use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure usage, and serve and measure ads.

2. How We Use Information

  • To create and maintain your account and sign you in;
  • To operate core features — showing quizzes/polls, saving scores and history, and Qwizard;
  • To understand how the Service is used and to improve it;
  • To detect, prevent, and address abuse, fraud, or technical issues; and
  • To serve and measure advertising, as described below.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Advertising and Analytics Partners

The Service uses the following third-party services, which may set their own cookies and collect information directly from your browser or device under their own privacy policies:

  • Google AdSense — ad serving
  • Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate) — affiliate advertising
  • Monetag — ad serving
  • Google Analytics — usage analytics
  • Firebase Authentication (Google) — sign-in with Google

Where these providers offer opt-out or ad-personalization controls (for example, Google's Ad Settings), you can manage your preferences directly with them.

4. How We Share Information

We share information with the service providers listed above solely to operate the Service (sign-in, hosting, analytics, and advertising). We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights, property, or safety of PopQ, our users, or others, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We do not otherwise sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account and activity data for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable time, except where retention is required for legal, security, or legitimate business purposes (for example, fraud prevention or dispute resolution).

6. Your Choices and Rights

You can review the scores, history, and quizzes tied to your account from your profile. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, contact us at [email protected]. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA/CPRA, including the right to object to or restrict certain processing; we will honor applicable requests consistent with those laws.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at [email protected] and we will take steps to delete it.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Users

Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than the one in which you live, including the United States, which may have different data-protection laws than your country.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
