By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

We may collect the following types of information:

• Account information: name, email address, phone number, school/institute name, and grade level.
• Quiz data: quiz scores, answers, leaderboard rankings, certificates earned, and prize history.
• Wallet & payment data: redemption details and transaction records for cash prizes and gift vouchers.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
