Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 July 2025

National Animal Quiz ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website nationalanimalquiz.com. This page explains what information we collect when you play, how we use it, and your rights. We are committed to keeping it simple and honest — we don't sell your data and we don't create user accounts.

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or IP address directly.

We store the following data locally in your browser only:

  • Game statistics — your win streak, total games played, and guess distribution, stored in localStorage.
  • Daily session cookie — a cookie that expires at UTC midnight to reset the daily puzzle. It contains only your guess data for the current day.
