What is stored on your device

Your browser's local storage keeps your last nickname, the chosen format, your own recent scores and, if you publish a score, a code that lets you remove that entry again. This is needed for the quiz you asked to play (§ 165 (3) TKG 2021), stays on your device and is never sent anywhere except the code when you remove an entry. You can delete it any time by clearing the site data in your browser.

Public leaderboard

Only if you tick the box and press "Publish score", we store your nickname, score, number of best answers, average decision time, quiz format and the date, and show the nickname and results publicly. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Please don't use your real name. Use of the leaderboard requires you to be 14 or older, or to have a parent's consent.
We do not store your IP address with the entry. To prevent spam, a one-way hash of your IP address that changes every day is kept for at most 24 hours.
Entries are deleted automatically after 12 months.
You can withdraw your consent at any time: use "Remove my entry" right after publishing, or email us with your nickname, format and date.
