Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

AnimeQuiz (“we”, “us”) runs the website animequiz.net (the “Site”): free anime quizzes, games and personality quizzes. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the Site, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. Questions go to admin@animequiz.net.

2. The short version

• You can play every quiz without an account, and without giving us your name or email.
• We do not sell your personal information for money.
• The Site shows no ads, and no advertising company collects information through it.
• We use analytics to see which pages and quizzes are used, and keep your quiz progress in your own browser.
• If you create an account, your username and scores appear on public leaderboards.

3. Information you give us

Accounts (optional)

To appear on the leaderboards you can create an account with a username and a password. Your password is handled by our sign-in provider, Supabase, and stored only as a secure hash; we never see it. You may add an email address for notifications, and you may fill in a public profile: display name, short bio, favourite anime and genre, an avatar and a colour. Profiles are public by default and you can make yours private.

Scores and game results

When you play while signed in, we save your scores and results (for example score, quiz, accuracy, best streak, daily puzzle results and your daily streak) so they can be ranked. Your username and scores are shown publicly on the leaderboards and on your profile.

Email sign-ups and notifications

If you give us your email address (for example to get the weekly leaderboard, a streak reminder, or a note when someone beats your score), we keep it with where you signed up and send only those emails. Every one of them has an unsubscribe link, or you can email us to stop them.

Messages you send us

If you suggest an anime or a feature, send feedback or an advertising enquiry, or email us, we receive what you write and any contact details you include (such as your name, email, company and website), and use them only to reply and act on it.

Multiplayer rooms

In multiplayer rooms, the name you choose and anything you write in the room’s chat are shared live with the other players in that room. A public room is also listed on the homepage with its host’s name, the quiz and how many are playing, and announced in a pop-up to people browsing the site, so anyone can join it. Rooms and chat messages are not saved. We only receive short notices of how rooms are used (that a room was hosted, made public or joined, or that its chat was used, with the quiz, the room code and how many played), never what anyone wrote.

Community chat

Messages in the community chat (/community) are saved with the name you chose and shown to everyone who can see the channel: anyone for a public channel, only its members for a private one. A public channel's newest messages, with the names that posted them, can also appear as a short notice on other pages of the site. Your browser keeps a random key so the chat knows which messages are yours; if you are signed in, your messages show a member badge and private channels you join are linked to your account. Clicking a name in the chat shows when that name joined and how many public messages it has posted; for a signed-in member whose profile is public, it also shows that profile's quiz record and links to it. Signed-in players' best score, and their place when they are in the all-time top ten, also appear beside their name in the chat and in multiplayer rooms (including a public room's listing). Making your profile private keeps all of this off the chat and the rooms. If you ask to be notified about a channel, we keep your email for that alone, write only after you confirm it, and every email has a link to stop them. You can delete your own messages; messages several people report are hidden, and we may remove anything that breaks the chat rules.

4. Information collected automatically

• Server logs. Like every website, our host (Vercel) receives your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the time, to deliver the Site and keep it secure.
• Analytics. We use Google Analytics, which sets cookies, and the cookieless Vercel Web Analytics, Vercel Speed Insights and Ahrefs Web Analytics. They tell us which pages are visited, from where and on what kind of device, and how fast pages load.
• Gameplay. Each game is recorded with a random ID stored in your browser (and your account, if you are signed in), the quiz, the score and how far you got, so we can see how quizzes are played and improve them.

5. Cookies and browser storage

• Cookies are set by Google Analytics.
• Your browser’s local storage keeps, on your device: your quiz progress, the questions you have already seen, best scores, your random player ID, daily puzzle progress, the name you use in multiplayer rooms, banners and prompts you dismissed, and, if you sign in, your sign-in session.
• You can delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings at any time. Quizzes still work; your local progress starts again.

6. Advertising

The Site shows no ads. From 22 October to 5 November 2026 it showed ads served by Mediavine; that has stopped, and no advertising code runs on the Site any more. Cookies Mediavine’s partners set during that time can be deleted in your browser settings. If we show advertising again, we will update this policy before it starts.

7. How we use information

• To run the quizzes and games, save your progress and show leaderboards and profiles.
• To send the emails you asked for, and replies to your messages.
• To understand how the Site is used, fix problems and make it better.
• To keep the Site secure and prevent abuse, fraud and spam.
• To meet legal obligations.

Where the EU or UK GDPR applies, we rely on: performing our agreement with you (accounts and the emails you asked for); our legitimate interests in running, improving and securing a free Site; your consent where the law requires it (for example for analytics cookies); and legal obligations.

8. Who we share it with

We share information only with the services that run the Site for us, each for its own job:

• Supabase: database and sign-in.
• Vercel: hosting, Web Analytics and Speed Insights.
• Google: Google Analytics.
• Ahrefs: website analytics.
• Resend: sending our emails.

We do not sell or share your personal information, for money or for advertising. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the Site and its users. What you choose to make public (your username, scores or public profile) can be seen by anyone.

9. How long we keep it

• Account, profile and scores: until you delete your account.
• Email sign-ups: until you unsubscribe.
• Messages and enquiries: as long as needed to deal with them.
• Analytics and logs: for the periods set by those providers.
• Browser storage: until you clear it.

10. Your rights and choices

You can ask us for a copy of your personal information, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. You can make your profile private, unsubscribe from emails, and clear your browser storage. If you are in the EU or UK you also have the rights to restrict processing, to data portability, to withdraw consent at any time, and to complain to your local data protection authority. If you live in a US state with a privacy law, you can ask to know, correct or delete your information and opt out of its sale or sharing, and we will not treat you differently for doing so.

To use any of these rights, including deleting your account, email admin@animequiz.net from the address on your account if it has one, or tell us your username. We reply within 30 days.

11. Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

12. Where your information is processed

Our service providers process information in the United States and other countries, which may have different data protection rules from where you live. Where the law requires it, these transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards, such as the providers’ standard contractual clauses.

13. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information, such as encrypted connections, hashed passwords and limited access to our database. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy when what we collect or how we use it changes, and change the “Last updated” date at the top. For significant changes we will also tell you on the Site.
