Privacy Policy
Last updated 19 September 2026
Trivo is a trivia game. It collects the least it can get away with: enough to show you a name, keep your scores, and let you play against someone. There is no advertising, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind.
Who is responsible
Trivo is run by one person, not a company. For anything in this policy — including a request to see, correct or delete your data — write to trivogamedev@gmail.com.
Loading the site stores nothing
Opening trivogame.com creates no account and no record of you. A guest account is made at the first tap that actually needs the server — starting a game, joining a room — and not before. A reload, a private window or a crawler leaves nothing behind.
What Trivo stores
| Category | What it is | When |
|---|---|---|
| Account | With Google: your email address, name and profile picture, as Google gives them. With Apple: your email address only — Trivo does not ask Apple for your name, and if you choose "Hide My Email" the address Trivo receives is Apple's relay address, not your real one | Only if you choose "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Apple" |
| Profile | Username, display name, a link to your profile picture, when you joined, when you were last seen, when you last changed your username, games played, wins | From your first game |
| Gameplay | Which option you picked on each question, whether it was right, how long you took, points, XP and level per category, your match history, which questions you have already seen, and any question you report as wrong | From your first game |
Your match history also records who you played against, so a match you played appears in their history as well as yours.
Playing as a guest
A guest account has no email address and no password attached to it — just an anonymous ID, a username, and whatever you do in the game. Nothing about it identifies you outside of Trivo. It also cannot be recovered: clearing your browser ends it for good.
What other players see
In a match, the other players see your username, your profile picture if you have one, your score, and where you finished. They do not see your email address. The emoji reactions you send during a match are passed straight between the players in the room and are never stored.
What Trivo does not do
- No advertising, and no advertising identifiers.
- No analytics, no usage tracking, no profiling. Errors are written to your own browser's console and are not sent anywhere.
- No location data, no contacts, no microphone, no camera.
- No payment information — Trivo is free and has nothing to buy.
- Nothing is sold, rented, or shared for anyone else's purposes, ever.
Who else touches your data
Only the services needed to run the game:
- Supabase — the database and the sign-in system. Your profile and gameplay data live here, and the email address behind a signed-in account is held by its authentication service. The servers are in Sydney, Australia.
- Vercel — serves the website. Like any web host, it keeps standard request logs, which include IP addresses.
- Apple — only if you sign in with Apple. Apple confirms it is you and passes back an email address; Trivo never sees your Apple password. Nothing is loaded from Apple's servers on an ordinary visit, so if you do not use Apple sign-in, Apple is not involved at all.
- Google — in more than one way, so it is worth being
exact:
- Every page load downloads part of the app itself from Google's servers — the graphics engine Trivo draws with, a fallback font, and the sign-in library — whether or not you ever sign in. Google's servers therefore see a request from your browser, including your IP address, on every visit. That comes with the framework Trivo is built on rather than being a decision to send Google anything, but it is true and you should know it.
- If you choose Google sign-in, Google confirms it is you and passes back your email address, name and picture. Trivo never sees your Google password.
- Profile pictures are loaded from Google's servers, so seeing an opponent's picture is also a request to Google.
- Tapping "fact-check" on a question opens a Google search for that question's text. That is an ordinary link, and only if you tap it.
How the questions are made
Questions are written by Google's Gemini model — some well in advance, and some in the seconds while a match is starting, when a topic has run low on questions you have not already seen.
What is sent to it is a topic name such as "World Capitals", a difficulty, a one-line note on what the topic covers, and the questions that already exist for that topic so it does not repeat them. No player data is ever sent to it — not your name, not your answers, not your ID.
What is kept on your device
Trivo keeps a few things in your browser's storage so the game works: your sign-in session, whether sound is on, the play mode you last chose, and a room code if you opened an invite link before signing in. There are no advertising or tracking cookies.
Why Trivo is allowed to store it
Everything in the table above is what the game cannot run without — there is no version of a scoreboard that does not store scores. In the language of the GDPR, storing and using it is necessary to provide the service you asked for, and keeping that service working and unabused is a legitimate interest. Nothing here relies on consent, because nothing optional is being collected.
Where your data is
The database is in Sydney, Australia. The website is served from Vercel's network, which is worldwide. If you are in the UK or EU, this means your data is transferred outside your region — to Australia, and to whichever Vercel location serves you.
Your choices
- Delete everything. If you signed in with Google or Apple: Profile → Delete account. It removes your profile, your answers, your history, your XP and your sign-in, and it cannot be undone. Matches you hosted are deleted along with it, which also removes them from the history of the people who played them; in matches you did not host, you are detached from the record and the match itself remains.
- If you are a guest, Profile has no delete row — a guest has nothing to sign back in with, so there is no way to be sure it is really you asking. Write to the address above and it will be deleted. Clearing your browser makes the account unreachable, but does not erase it — see below.
- Change your name. Profile → Edit username.
- Ask for a copy of your data, or ask for it to be corrected or deleted, by writing to the address above.
If you are in the UK, EU or a place with similar laws, these are your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, and you may complain to your local data protection authority.
How long it is kept
Your data stays while your account exists, and goes when the account is deleted.
To be straight about one gap: a guest account that is simply walked away from is not deleted automatically. There is no clean-up job today, so what it leaves — an anonymous ID, a username, and some game rows — stays in the database until it is removed by hand. If you want yours gone, write to the address above and it will be.
Age
Trivo is for people aged 16 and over. It is not designed for children, and accounts are not knowingly created for anyone under 16. Trivo does not ask your date of birth, so this is not enforced by a check — if you believe a child has created an account, write to the address above and it will be deleted.
Changes
