Last updated: 25 March 2026

GeoBlitz.io is a free browser-based geography quiz game. This page explains what data is collected when you use this site, how it is used, and your rights in relation to it.

Who we are

GeoBlitz.io is operated by an individual based in the United Kingdom. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, you can contact us at: privacy@geoblitz.io

What data we collect

GeoBlitz does not directly collect or store personal data. However, third-party services used on this site (such as Google AdSense and Google Fonts) may collect data as described below.

Legal basis for processing

Where personal data is processed by third-party services (such as Google), this is done on the basis of legitimate interests (serving and improving advertisements) and/or user consent where required by applicable law. Where required by law, users will be asked to consent to the use of cookies and personalised advertising.

Google AdSense (advertising)

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve ads that are relevant to you based on your browsing history and interests.

As part of this, Google may collect:

Google uses this information to personalise the ads you see across websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data from partner sites at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.

Cookies

GeoBlitz itself does not set any cookies. Google AdSense sets cookies on your device to deliver and measure advertisements. These are third-party cookies controlled entirely by Google.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of advertisements on this site but will not affect the game itself.

Google Fonts

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests a font, Google's servers receive your IP address and browser information. Google's privacy policy applies to this data: policies.google.com/privacy.

Local storage

GeoBlitz saves your best scores locally in your browser using the Web Storage API (localStorage). This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to any server. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data for geoblitz.io.

Data retention

We do not retain personal data. Any data processed by third-party services is handled according to their own retention policies.

International transfers

Data collected by third-party providers such as Google may be processed outside the United Kingdom and European Economic Area. Google maintains appropriate safeguards for such transfers in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Children's privacy

GeoBlitz is an educational geography game suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have rights including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data held about you. As GeoBlitz does not collect personal data directly, any requests relating to data collected by Google should be directed to Google via their privacy tools at myaccount.google.com. For any other queries, contact us at privacy@geoblitz.io.

This site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
