Map Quiz Challenge is developed and operated by Onur Hazar.
This Privacy Policy explains what information Map Quiz Challenge collects, how it is used, and the choices available to users.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, Map Quiz Challenge may collect and store information such as your:
- Email address
- Display name
- Firebase user ID
Authentication is provided through Firebase Authentication. Passwords are processed by Firebase Authentication and are not directly accessible to the developer.
Profile Information
Map Quiz Challenge uses generated profile avatars based on your display name.
The app does not require users to upload a profile photo and does not use the device camera or photo library for profile images.
Profile information may include your display name and generated avatar representation.
Gameplay Information
The app stores information necessary to provide quizzes, scores, profiles, and leaderboards, including:
- Quiz category
- Score
- Correct answers
- Incorrect answers
- Timed-out answers
- Best score for each category
- Gameplay-related timestamps
The app also stores information used for the daily play system, including:
- Current daily play period
- Remaining plays
- Number of rewarded advertisements completed that day
- Technical identifiers used to prevent duplicate rewards or duplicate play deductions
These fields are stored as part of the user's Firebase profile data.
2. Rewarded Advertising
Map Quiz Challenge uses Google AdMob to provide optional rewarded advertisements.
The app does not currently use banner advertisements or interstitial advertisements.
Users may voluntarily choose to watch a rewarded advertisement to receive additional quiz plays. Rewards are granted only after the advertising SDK confirms that the reward has been earned.
Google Mobile Ads may process information related to ad delivery and interaction, including device information, IP address, advertising interactions, app interaction information, diagnostics, and certain identifiers depending on platform settings and user consent. Google publishes platform-specific data-disclosure guidance for the Mobile Ads SDK. Google for Developers
Map Quiz Challenge does not request precise GPS location for advertising.
On iOS, Map Quiz Challenge does not request App Tracking Transparency permission solely for rewarded advertising. Google documents that ads can still be requested when IDFA is unavailable. Google for Developers
3. Advertising Consent and Privacy Choices
Map Quiz Challenge uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to manage advertising privacy choices where required.
Depending on your location and applicable privacy requirements, you may be presented with choices concerning advertising, storage, personalization, and related data processing.
Where applicable, a Privacy Choices option is available in the app so that privacy preferences can be reviewed or changed.
Google's UMP supports consent and privacy-choice handling for users in regions including the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. Depending on consent status, Google supports personalized, non-personalized, limited, or technical ad-delivery modes. Google for Developers
4. Analytics
Map Quiz Challenge uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the app is used and to improve reliability and functionality.
Analytics may include information such as:
- App version
- Device type and operating system
- General app usage
- Quiz and feature interactions
- Rewarded-ad events
- Purchase-related events
For example, the app may record events such as reaching the play limit, completing a rewarded advertisement, starting or completing a Pro purchase, or restoring a purchase.
Analytics is not intentionally used by the developer to personally identify individual users.
5. In-App Purchases
Map Quiz Challenge offers an optional non-consumable purchase called Map Quiz Pro / Unlimited Play.
Purchases are processed by:
- Apple App Store on iOS
- Google Play on Android
The developer does not receive or store your full payment-card information.
The app may receive information required to process and restore purchases, such as the product identifier, purchase status, transaction state, and purchase confirmation.
The Pro entitlement is activated only after the relevant store confirms a purchase or restoration.
Purchasing Map Quiz Pro removes the daily play restriction and the need to watch rewarded advertisements for additional plays.
6. Firebase Services
Map Quiz Challenge uses Google Firebase services including:
- Firebase Authentication
- Cloud Firestore
- Google Analytics for Firebase
Cloud Firestore stores account-related profile information, gameplay results, leaderboard data, and daily play state.
Access to account-specific data is protected using Firebase security rules.
The app does not use Firebase Storage for profile-image uploads. Profile avatars are generated locally by the app.
7. Camera and Photo Library
Map Quiz Challenge does not require camera access or photo-library access for its current features.
Users cannot take, select, upload, or change a profile photo.
If future versions introduce features that require access to the camera, photos, or other protected device resources, this Privacy Policy and the app's permission disclosures will be updated accordingly.
8. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information.
Information may be processed by third-party services that are required to operate the app, including:
- Google Firebase
- Google AdMob
- Apple App Store
- Google Play
These providers process information according to their own privacy policies, contractual obligations, and applicable laws.
9. Data Retention
Account and gameplay information may be retained while your account remains active and as necessary to provide app features such as profiles, scores, leaderboards, and daily play allowances.
Certain analytics, advertising, transaction, fraud-prevention, diagnostic, or security records may be retained by third-party service providers according to their own retention policies and legal obligations.
10. Account and Data Deletion
You can delete your Map Quiz Challenge account directly from:
Settings → Delete Account
Account deletion is permanent.
Before account deletion is performed, you may be required to confirm your identity or reauthenticate for security purposes.
Deleting your account removes Map Quiz Challenge account data controlled by the app, including data such as:
- Profile information
- Gameplay scores
- Leaderboard entries associated with your account
- Daily play and rewarded-ad state
Deleting your Map Quiz Challenge account does not automatically delete purchase-history or transaction records maintained by Apple, Google, or other payment providers. Those records are controlled by the respective platform and may be retained where required for legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, or transaction purposes.
You may also contact the developer if you need assistance with an account or privacy request.

11. Local Data
Map Quiz Challenge may store limited information locally on your device to support app functionality, such as:
- Authentication/session-related state
- Daily play state
- Purchase entitlement cache
- App preferences
Local cached information may be cleared when appropriate during logout or account deletion.
The Pro entitlement may be cached locally for user experience purposes, but store-confirmed purchase or restoration remains the basis for unlocking the entitlement.
12. Children's Privacy
Map Quiz Challenge is a general-audience geography quiz application.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information improperly, please contact us so that appropriate action can be taken.
13. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect user information, including Firebase Authentication and Firestore security rules.
However, no electronic transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
14. Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing.
Where applicable:
- Advertising/privacy choices can be reviewed through the app's Privacy Choices option.
- Your account and associated app data can be deleted through Settings → Delete Account.
- You may contact the developer for additional privacy-related requests.
Google's UMP is designed to provide region-appropriate privacy messaging and consent choices for advertising where required. Google for Developers
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when app functionality, third-party services, advertising practices, legal requirements, or data-processing practices change.
When changes are made, the Last updated date at the top of this Privacy Policy will be revised.
