Privacy policy
Effective: 4 November 2026
This policy explains what data the Brainations quiz game (the Android and iOS app and this website) processes, what we use it for, and what your rights are.
Who is responsible for your data?
Controller: the operator of Brainations. Contact: –
What data do we process?
- Profile: the nickname, country and language you choose.
- Sign-in: a random device id generated by the app; with e-mail sign-in, your e-mail address and a hashed form of your password; with Google or Apple sign-in, your account id and e-mail address as Google or Apple provide them.
- Gameplay: your answers, points, results, streaks, league and rank, and the data of your duels and party games.
- Community: your friends, friend requests and invite code; the reports you send about questions and other players; the players you have blocked.
- Technical data: server logs (such as IP address, time, errors) needed to run the service and to investigate abuse.
We do not ask for your real name, we do not collect location data, and we do not access your contacts, photos or microphone. The app shows no ads and uses no third-party analytics or tracking.
What do we use it for?
- To run the game: sign-in, questions, duels, leaderboards, the nations' competition, friends and invites.
- To send a password reset e-mail when you ask for one.
- To keep the game fair and the community safe: to detect cheating, offensive nicknames and abuse, and to review reports.
Legal basis: providing the service you request by playing (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)), and our legitimate interest in keeping the game secure and preventing abuse (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
Who can see it?
Other players can see your nickname, country and results on leaderboards, in duels and in party games. No other player can see your e-mail address.
Data is stored on our own server. Our processors: Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, France) sends password reset e-mails; with Google or Apple sign-in, Google or Apple verifies your account under their own privacy policies. We do not sell your data or share it for advertising.
How long do we keep it?
As long as your account exists. When you delete it, your profile, sign-in data and gameplay data are permanently deleted. Reports about questions and the reviewers' decisions may be kept without any link to your account, because they are needed for the quality of the question bank. Server logs are kept for at most 30 days.
Your rights
- Access and portability: in the app, Profile > Download my data gives you a file with everything stored about you.
- Rectification: you can change your nickname, country and language on the Profile tab.
- Erasure: in the app with Profile > Delete account, or by e-mail. Details: Delete your account.
- Objection and restriction: write to us at the address above.
- Complaint: to the data protection authority where you live (in Hungary: naih.hu).

Brainations is for players of all ages but is not directed specifically at children. If you are under 16, use it with the consent of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has registered without consent, write to us and we will delete the account.
