Privacy policy

QuizMwa is used by children, so we collect as little as the app can work with, and we do not sell or share any of it.

Who we are

QuizMwa is run from Mauritius by the QuizMwa team. If you have a question about this policy, write to us on the contact page and we will answer.

What we hold

• Your name, so the app can greet you and an administrator can find your account.

• Your email address, so we can confirm the account is real, reset a forgotten password, and tell you about your subscription.

• Your grade, so we show you the right units.

• Your answers and scores, so you can see your progress and revise what you got wrong.

• If you write to us through the contact page: your message, your name and your address, kept until the matter is dealt with.

• If you send a proof of payment: the screenshot, photo or PDF you send us and any note you add to it. It is stored so that an administrator can check the payment against the reference, and it is visible only to them.

We do not ask for a date of birth, a school, an address or a telephone number, and we never ask a child for a photograph of themselves. There is no advertising on QuizMwa and no third-party tracking.

How your email address is stored

Email addresses are encrypted in our database. They are stored alongside a one-way index that lets us look an account up without ever holding the address in readable form. An administrator sees a masked address in the admin screens.

Payment

We do not take card payments and no card details ever reach this app. A subscription is paid by bank transfer or by Juice, directly to us, and an administrator then switches full access on for the account.

If you choose to send your proof of payment on WhatsApp rather than uploading it here, that message goes through WhatsApp and is covered by their terms as well as ours. Uploading it instead keeps it inside this app.

Who else sees it

Nobody outside the QuizMwa team, except the services that run the app: our hosting and database provider, and the service that delivers our emails. They process the data on our instructions and for no other purpose.

Cookies

One cookie, which keeps you signed in. It holds a signed token containing your account id and nothing else — no email address, no name. There are no analytics or advertising cookies.

How long we keep it

For as long as the account exists. Ask us to delete the account and we delete it, along with the attempts and scores attached to it.

Your rights

You — or a parent or guardian, for a child — can ask to see what we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete the account entirely. Write to us on the contact page and we will act within thirty days.

Children

QuizMwa is written for pupils in Grades 5 and 6. If you are under 16, please ask a parent or guardian before you create an account. A parent or guardian may ask us at any time to delete a child's account and everything in it.

Changes

If we change this policy we will change the date at the top of this page.
