Privacy Policy

ANN Kids Quiz is a free kids' quiz app made by Aalimi News Network (ANN NEWS 24x7) ("ANN NEWS", "we", "us"). This policy explains what information the app and our website collect, why, and the choices you have. The app is made for children, so we collect as little as possible and never use it for advertising.

Summary

• No ads, no advertising ID, no tracking for advertising, no selling of data.
• No accounts, no passwords, no email address, phone number or location.
• Only a nickname, class and quiz results are needed to play.
• Photos taken for the winner's poster and certificate stay on the phone — they are never uploaded.
• You can delete everything linked to your phone at any time from Menu → Delete my data.

Information we collect

1. Information you type in the app

• Player name — the name or nickname typed before a game. It appears on the leaderboard and on certificates. Please use a first name or nickname only.
• Class — the class group and class chosen in the app.
• Certificate details (optional) — only when a winner asks for a certificate: the name, class and, if entered, school and district printed on it.

2. Quiz results
Which questions were answered right or wrong, score, prize level reached, lifelines used, time taken, game mode, and date and time of the game.

3. App and device information

• App ID — a random number created by the app on the phone. It is not a phone number, email or advertising ID and does not tell us who you are. It lets us show "your rank", give certificates to the right phone and delete your data when you ask.
• App version and type of device (Android or iPhone).
• IP address — recorded by our server when the app connects, for security and to stop abuse.
• Notification token — only if you allow notifications: a token and basic device information (device model, operating system, language, time zone) that our notification provider needs to deliver messages.

4. Photos
The app can open the camera or photo gallery so a winner can add their photo to the award poster and certificate. The photo is used only on the phone to make these images and is never sent to us or anyone else, unless you choose to share the poster or certificate yourself.

What we do NOT collect

• No advertising ID and no ads of any kind.
• No location, contacts, messages, call logs or microphone recordings.
• No email address, phone number, account or password.
• No payments or financial information.
• No analytics or tracking tools that follow children across apps or websites.

How we use information

• To run the quiz and keep score.
• To show the Top Stars leaderboard (nickname, class, best prize and score).
• To issue and verify certificates.
• To send quiz announcements by notification, only if you allowed them.
• To find questions that are too hard or wrong, and improve the quiz.
• To keep the app and server safe and stop misuse.

We do not use children's information for advertising, profiling or behavioural tracking, and we never sell or rent any information.

Children and parents

The app is designed for children. Children should use it with the permission of a parent, guardian or teacher. By allowing a child to use the app, the parent or guardian agrees to the use of the information described here. Parents and guardians can ask us at any time to see, correct or delete their child's information (see "Your choices" and "Contact"). We follow Google Play's Families Policy and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Who can see information

• Leaderboard: other players see the nickname, class, best prize and score.
• Certificate check page: anyone who has a certificate number (for example by scanning its QR code) can see the name, class, school, district and date printed on that certificate, so schools and parents can confirm it is genuine.
• Service providers who help us run the app, only for that purpose:
• our web hosting provider, which stores the quiz data on its servers;
• OneSignal (onesignal.com), which delivers notifications using Google Firebase Cloud Messaging;
• Google Fonts, from which the app downloads its letter styles (Google receives the device's IP address).
• The law: if we are required to by law or to protect the safety of our users.

Some of these providers may store data outside India. They are required to protect it.

How long we keep information

• Quiz results: up to 12 months, then deleted.
• Certificates: as long as needed so they can be verified, or until you ask us to delete them.
• Notification tokens: until notifications are turned off or the app is removed.
• Server security logs: a short period, then deleted automatically.

Your choices and rights

• Delete my data: in the app, open Menu → Delete my data. This deletes all games, leaderboard places and certificates made on that phone from our server and clears the data saved in the app. Instructions: https://quiz.aaliminewsnetwork.com/delete-data
• Notifications: turn them off in the app (Menu → Notifications) or in the phone's settings.
• See or correct information: email us at info@aaliminewsnetwork.com.
• Withdraw consent: stop using the app and delete your data as above, or email us.
• Uninstall: removing the app deletes everything stored on the phone.

Security

All data between the app and our server is sent encrypted (HTTPS). Our admin panel is protected by passwords that are stored encrypted and is used only by authorised ANN NEWS staff.

Permissions the app uses

• Internet — to download questions and send results.
• Notifications (optional, Android 13+) — to show quiz announcements.
• Camera / photos — only when you tap "Take a photo" or "Choose from gallery"; the phone's own picker is used.
• Storage (Android 9 and older only) — to save the award poster to the gallery.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date below. Important changes will also be shown in the app.
