Why we use your information

We use information to provide accounts and quizzes, record scores and XP, moderate comments and reports, respond to contact requests, protect the website, troubleshoot problems, maintain security and improve the service. Where a particular processing activity relies on consent, you can withdraw that consent through the available controls.

Lawful bases

Cookies, advertising and Google AdSense

FactBurst uses necessary cookies and session technologies for features such as sign-in and security. If advertising is enabled, Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure advertising. Google and its partners may process information such as identifiers, IP addresses and advertising-related signals as described in Google's policies. Where consent is required, FactBurst uses its consent controls before relevant advertising processing. You can review or change available consent choices using the site's privacy or cookie settings.

Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, to operate and secure the service, to resolve disputes, or to meet legal and accounting requirements where applicable. Retention periods are reviewed as the service develops.

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights including access to your personal information, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability, as well as the right to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. You can contact FactBurst through the Contact page to make a request.
