This Privacy Policy outlines how A1Brainy.com (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website. We believe that being “brainy” involves making informed choices, and that includes understanding how your data is handled.
Effective Date: May 8, 2026
1. Information We Collect
To provide you with a competitive and personalized gaming experience, we collect two types of information:
A. Personal Information You Provide
- Account Details: When you register, we may collect your name, email address, and username.
- Profile Data: Information you choose to share, such as a profile picture or bio.
- Communications: Any info you provide when contacting our support team.
B. Information Collected Automatically
- Gameplay Data: We track your quiz scores, speed, leaderboard rankings, and achievements.
- Technical Data: Your IP address, browser type, device info, and operating system.
- Usage Data: Which quizzes you play most often and how long you spend on the site.
- Profile Images & Metadata: When you upload a profile picture, we collect and store that image on our secure servers. Please be aware that if you upload an image containing EXIF data (embedded metadata like GPS location), that information may be accessible to others if they download your photo. We recommend stripping metadata from your photos before uploading them to maintain your privacy.
2. How We Use Your Data
We don’t just collect data for the sake of it; we use it to keep the gears turning at A1Brainy. Specifically:
- To Personalize Your Experience: Showing you quizzes that match your interests.
- To Manage Leaderboards: Ensuring your high scores are accurately attributed to you.
- To Improve Our Games: Analyzing which puzzles are too easy (or frustratingly hard) to optimize the fun.
- To Communicate: Sending you updates about new features or security alerts.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use “cookies”—small text files stored on your device—to remember your login session and preferences.
| Cookie Type | Purpose |
| Essential | Keeps you logged in while you navigate different pages. |
| Analytics | Helps us understand how many people are playing our games. |
| Advertising | Shows you relevant ads (so we can keep the lights on). |
Pro Tip: You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of A1Brainy might not work as intended—like trying to play a memory game without a memory.
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We only share information in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: With trusted partners who help us host the site or process data (e.g., cloud storage).
- Legal Necessity: If we are required by law to disclose information to protect our rights or the safety of our users.
- Aggregated Data: We may share anonymous, high-level stats (e.g., “1 million quizzes played this month”) with partners or advertisers.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. Children’s Privacy
A1Brainy is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). If we discover we have inadvertently collected such data, we will delete it immediately.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live (such as the EU under GDPR or California under CCPA), you may have the right to:
- Access the data we have about you.
- Correct any inaccurate information.
- Delete your account and associated data.
- Opt-out of marketing communications.
To exercise these rights, please contact us at support@a1brainy.com.
