1. Safeguarding Students and Preserving Their Privacy
At Genqiz, we prioritize the protection of children and students' personal information, adhering to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and broader data protection regulations. We neither require students to disclose names nor contact details, nor do we mandate the creation of user accounts. If a student indicates they are not of an age to provide independent consent, Genqiz refrains from collecting personal information and may implement additional measures to comply with legal privacy requirements. Unless explicitly outlined in this privacy policy, Genqiz refrains from collecting, sharing, or selling personal information about any child.
Here are some key safety measures and privacy rights on Genqiz:
- Genqiz strictly prohibits targeted advertising based on inappropriate behaviors.
- Students can engage in games without the necessity of creating an account.
- Students who are unable or choose not to provide consent will experience a limited product offering.
- The platform does not support direct messaging capabilities between students.
- Questions / questionnaire are subject to active content filters and responsive reporting tools.
2. Parents' Authority
Genqiz grants parents and legal guardians the authority to approve their child's account registration on Genqiz, adhering to legal rights. Parents/guardians can consent to Genqiz collecting and using their child's personally identifiable information without granting permission for Genqiz to disclose information to third parties.
Parents/guardians retain the ability to manage the information their child shares with Genqiz by accessing their child's account, enabling them to delete, modify, and review the shared information. They also have the option to establish a parent account for overseeing their child's Genqiz access. Parents can initiate requests for Genqiz to delete specific information and provide consent for Genqiz to collect additional data from their child by reaching out to us at [email protected]. Genqiz may employ further inquiries or procedures to verify the identity of parents/guardians before addressing requests to review or delete their child's information or requests to withhold further data collection from children.
Genqiz pledges to never solicit more information from a child than is essential for utilizing Genqiz services. While Genqiz assigns a unique identifier to all users for recognition purposes and improved Genqiz experiences, it does not purposefully gather personally identifiable information from children below the approved age without the consent of parents or guardians. If, despite the intention to abstain from such collection, Genqiz becomes aware of inadvertently collecting personally identifiable information from an underage child without authorization, the company will either erase this information or strive to obtain consent. This consent may be validated with evidence provided by the child's parents or guardians, permitting the use of the data to furnish the child with Genqiz services in the future.
3. How Genqiz Collects Personal Information
The information Genqiz collects depends on the service attributes you request. For instance, data collected from a student participating in a game without an account will be less than that from a teacher creating an account to generate Genqiz and organize games. All Genqiz interactive websites or applications create meta-data that can identify you or be in the form of identifiable information when combined with other details about you. In every case, Genqiz strives to collect only the necessary information at a minimum level when you need it or when it is suitable to achieve the interaction goals of Genqiz visitors or as required by law. However, visitors to the Genqiz website or application may choose not to provide personally identifiable information; however, doing so may prevent you from participating in certain activities related to the website.
4. Providing Information to Genqiz
Creating an account isn't obligatory for using Genqiz but becomes necessary to access certain features and save progress. If you decide to create an account, Genqiz will store the information you provide, encompassing your email address, the email address of a parent or guardian, your name, surname, profile picture, or organization name.
Feel free to choose not to disclose specific information or modify/delete it whenever you wish. Keep in mind that taking these actions may limit your participation in services or features requiring this information. Genqiz might collect additional details if you reach out to our support team, participate in user research, marketing initiatives, prize draws, or use the service differently.
Engaging in financial transactions with Genqiz might prompt requests for additional details, such as credit card numbers, billing addresses, or full names.
While using the service, you can also generate educational content, like questions and specific forms of answers. Although this information typically doesn't personally identify you, the relevant account owner can delete it at any time or contact our team at [email protected] for assistance.
5. Information Gathered Automatically
When utilizing the service, certain types of information are automatically received and stored. This may encompass device details, such as device type, operating system, and unique device identifiers like IDFA and UDID.
Genqiz also records log information during service use, including specifics about how and when the service is accessed. This involves browser type, preferred language, time zone, referring website, and Internet Protocol (IP) address.
Your IP address may be utilized to generate a general approximation of your location for service provision. For instance, tailoring the appropriate Genqiz version based on your state or country and assisting teachers in selecting schools during registration. It's important to note that Genqiz does not gather precise location data like GPS or Bluetooth signals.
Google Analytics is employed to comprehend user interactions with the service. This involves the use of cookies to compile reports that illustrate how Genqiz is utilized, all while preserving the anonymity of individual visitors. Opting out of Google Analytics is possible at any time while still continuing to use Genqiz. To explore more about opting out, click here.

6. Data Acquisition from External Sources
Depending on your usage of the platform, Genqiz might gather information from collaborators and integrated technologies.

It's essential to highlight that Genqiz doesn't have access to your Google account password.
We may also receive personal data from fellow users. For example, educators might input your email to share Genqiz or reports with guardians. If teachers decide to input student details directly into Genqiz or request student registration through Google Classroom Integration, Classes on Genqiz, or analogous assignment features, we insist that teachers or educational institutions secure parental approval before utilizing Genqiz with children who may not be of an age to provide their own consent.
