Brain Master: Knowledge Quiz – Privacy Policy

1Introduction

Welcome to Brain Master: Knowledge Quiz (hereinafter referred to as the "App" or "Application"), an interactive trivia and knowledge application developed by Spark Canvas ("we," "our," or "us").

We hold user privacy in high regard and are committed to complete transparency. This Privacy Policy governs your use of Brain Master: Knowledge Quiz (Application Package: com.gbk.brainmasterquiz) and articulates how information is handled within the app.

Architecture Summary: Spark Canvas operates no private remote backend servers for collecting, storing, or cataloging your identity. The application functions primarily on an offline, on-device architecture.

2Information Stored Locally on Your Device

To ensure seamless gameplay, track your trivia mastery, and remember your game state without requiring internet connectivity or mandatory account registration, Brain Master stores the following data strictly locally in your device's isolated application sandbox:

• Quiz Scores & Category Progress: Record of completed quizzes, accuracy percentages, category level unlocks, and current question milestone indexes.
• Achievements & Statistics: Badges earned, correct/incorrect answer counts, speed records, and daily login streak milestones.
• Brain Coins & Transaction History: Your current in-game virtual coin balance, historical coin earnings from quizzes, and in-game power-up redemptions.
• User Settings & Preferences: Audio toggle (sound effects and background audio), haptic vibration preferences, interface appearance theme (Light or Dark mode), and local device reminder notifications.

3Third-Party Services & SDKs

The App incorporates industry-standard SDKs provided by Google LLC to enable advertising, consent management, leaderboards, and in-app billing. These third-party services may collect device telemetry, advertising identifiers, and diagnostics in accordance with their independent privacy policies:

For complete information regarding Google's data practices, please consult Google's official Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

4How Information Is Used

Any information processed either locally on your hardware or through third-party SDKs is used solely for the following legitimate purposes:

• Gameplay Continuity: Remembering your current quiz question index, category completion status, and active streaks.
• In-Game Rewards: Adding virtual Brain Coins to your local balance upon completing quizzes or viewing optional rewarded videos.
• Displaying Ads: Serving advertisements that subsidize the free distribution and maintenance of the App.
• Consent Enforcement: Guaranteeing that users who decline personalized tracking receive non-personalized contextual ads only.
• Leaderboard Ranking: Displaying your public Gamer Tag and score on Google Play Games leaderboards if you actively choose to connect your account.

5Advertising (Personalized and Non-Personalized Ads)

Brain Master uses Google AdMob to show ads. Depending on your geographical jurisdiction and consent selections presented via the Google UMP consent dialog:

You can control ad personalization at the operating system level at any time through Android Settings > Google > Ads.

6Consent and Privacy Choices

8Data Storage, Retention, and Deletion

Because your game state is stored locally on your device hardware:

• Retention Period: Local data persists on your phone for as long as the application remains installed.
• Permanent Data Deletion: You have autonomous control to delete all data at any moment. You can permanently erase all scores, progress, and Brain Coins by:
  1. Opening Android Settings > Apps > Brain Master > Storage and tapping "Clear Data" / "Clear Storage".
  2. Uninstalling the application from your Android device.

9Children’s Privacy

Brain Master: Knowledge Quiz is intended for general audiences aged 13 and older.

Younger users under the age of 13 should access and play the App strictly under the supervision and with the explicit permission of a parent or legal guardian.

We do not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a minor has provided personal data through third-party mechanisms without parental consent, please contact us immediately at gbkdeveloper8@gmail.com so we can take appropriate steps.

10International Users & Regional Compliance

Brain Master: Knowledge Quiz is available globally across 170+ countries and territories. Depending on your jurisdiction:

• European Economic Area (EEA) & United Kingdom (GDPR / UK GDPR): Legal basis for ad processing relies on legitimate interests or explicit user consent collected via Google UMP.
• California Residents (CCPA / CPRA): Spark Canvas does not sell or share personal information for financial compensation. AdMob settings respect global opt-out signals.
• India (Digital Personal Data Protection Act): Localized storage ensures Indian citizen data remains confined to their physical smartphone hardware.

11Security Limitations

We prioritize the security of your data. Because local files are protected by the Android Operating System application sandbox, other apps on your device cannot access Brain Master's data under standard operational conditions.

Security Boundary Notice: No method of transmission over mobile networks or electronic storage is 100% invulnerable. While Spark Canvas operates zero centralized backend databases (mitigating large-scale cloud breach risks), users are advised to protect their physical devices with screen locks and avoid running the application on rooted devices where sandboxing security boundaries may be compromised.

12Policy Updates

Spark Canvas may periodically revise this Privacy Policy to reflect app updates, new Google Play policies, or statutory regulatory mandates.

Any modifications will be posted directly to this public HTTPS URL (https://sparkcanvas.in/privacy-policy) with an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of Brain Master: Knowledge Quiz following the publication of changes signifies your acceptance.
