Privacy Policy for QuizBaller

Last updated: 1 November 2026

QuizBaller ("the app", "we", "us") is a football management trivia game for iPhone, iPad and Android, developed and published by Steve Milne, an independent developer based in the United Kingdom. This policy explains what information the app handles, why, where it is stored, who it is shared with, and the choices you have.

In short: QuizBaller has no user accounts and we do not run our own servers that collect your data. Your game is saved on your own device. The only data that leaves your device goes to Apple or Google services (game leaderboards, advertising and purchases), as described below.

Summary of data

Information stored on your device

Your career is saved locally on your device, including:

• Your manager name and the name of your club
• Your avatar choice, or a photo you choose to take for your avatar
• Season results, statistics, achievements, Manager Points and career history
• Your settings (such as sound, dark mode and accessibility options)
• Which question categories, hint packs or features you have unlocked

This information stays on your device. We do not receive a copy of it. If you use the in-app save code feature to back up or move your career, the code is created on your device and kept by you — we never see it.

Camera

If you choose to take a photo for your manager avatar, the app asks for permission to use your camera. The photo is stored only on your device and is never uploaded to us or anyone else. You can decline camera access and pick a built-in avatar instead.

Game Center and Google Play Games (leaderboards)

QuizBaller has optional worldwide leaderboards for Manager Points, Premier League titles, Champions League titles and other trophies. On iPhone and iPad these use Apple Game Center; on Android they use Google Play Games Services.

• When a season ends, or when you open the Hall of Fame, the app may ask you to sign in to Game Center or Google Play Games. Signing in is optional — the game works fully without it.
• If you sign in, your leaderboard scores are sent to Apple or Google along with your Game Center / Play Games player ID and display name, so they can show the leaderboards. Your display name and scores are visible to other players on those leaderboards.
• Scores are only submitted for careers that are eligible for the Hall of Fame.
• Sign-in uses only basic profile access. We do not receive your email address, contacts or any other account information.

This data is handled by Apple and Google under their own privacy policies: Apple Privacy Policy and Google Privacy Policy. You can sign out, hide your profile or remove your scores in your Game Center settings (iOS) or the Google Play Games app (Android).

Advertising

QuizBaller uses Google AdMob to show optional rewarded video ads — for example, watching a short video to get a free hint. AdMob may collect device and advertising identifiers, approximate location, and information about how ads are viewed, to deliver and measure ads and prevent fraud. Where required (including in the UK and EU), the app shows Google's consent message before any personalised advertising, and you can choose non-personalised ads. You can also reset or limit your advertising identifier in your device settings. See how Google uses data in ads.

In-app purchases

Purchases such as question category unlocks, hint packs and Simplify mode are processed entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We never see or store your payment details. The app only records on your device which items you have unlocked, and can ask the store to restore past purchases.

App reviews

The app may occasionally show Apple's or Google's built-in "rate this app" prompt. Any rating or review you leave is handled by the App Store or Google Play — we do not receive it through the app.

Contacting us and problem reports

If you use "Report a bug / Contact developer", your device's email app opens and you decide what to send. If you use "Copy problem log", technical details about the game (such as recent errors and your game version) are copied to your clipboard on your device — nothing is sent unless you paste it into a message to us yourself. We only use what you send to reply to you and fix problems, and we delete it when it is no longer needed.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not use third-party analytics or tracking tools beyond those described above.
• We do not require an account, email address or phone number to play.

Children

QuizBaller is a general-audience trivia game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Keeping and deleting your data

• Data saved on your device stays there until you restart your career in Settings or delete the app, which removes it.
• Leaderboard data can be managed or removed through Game Center or Google Play Games.
• Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to deal with your message. You can ask us to delete them at any time.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under UK or EU data protection law), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the use of your personal information. Because we hold almost no personal information ourselves, most requests are best made to Apple or Google for data they hold. For anything we hold, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app changes. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised.
