How we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
This Privacy Policy describes how QuizOntario ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and handles information when you use our website at https://quizontario.com (the "Platform"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
QuizOntario is an independent educational platform. Our mailing address is 76 Donald Ave, York, ON M6M 1K4, Canada. You may contact us at [email protected] or +1 450-252-2757.
We collect information you provide directly, including when you submit our contact form (your name, email address, and message content). We do not require account creation or registration to use any part of the Platform.
When you use our Platform, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time spent on the Platform. This information is used for analytical purposes to understand how the Platform is being used and to improve its functionality.
Our quiz progress tracker stores data locally in your browser using localStorage. This data — your quiz scores and completion status — is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. It can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's local storage.
We use cookies and similar technologies. Please refer to our Cookie Policy for detailed information about the cookies we use and your choices.
We use information we collect to: operate and maintain the Platform; respond to contact form submissions; understand how the Platform is used and improve it; ensure technical functionality; and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Our processing of personal data is governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Ontario privacy legislation. We collect only the information necessary for the purposes described above and retain it only as long as necessary.
Contact form submissions are retained for up to 24 months for the purpose of managing communications. Analytical data is retained in aggregate form. You may request deletion of your information at any time by contacting us.
Under Canadian privacy law, you have the right to: request access to personal information we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate information; request deletion of your information in certain circumstances; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Our Platform may use third-party services including Google Fonts (for typography) and Unsplash (for image hosting). These services may collect technical information as part of their normal operation. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services.
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our Platform is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
