Privacy Policy

The controller of your personal data is QB Technologies AG, a company registered in Switzerland. This policy is governed by Swiss data protection law. Where applicable, we also adhere to international standards, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of Quibble and its Services, including readers, authors, and visitors. It covers data collected through Quibble’s mobile apps, the website, and any other services operated by Quibble.

“Personal Information” refers to any data that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. This includes, but is not limited to, your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, Internet Protocol (IP) address, age, and gender. Where required, we will inform you whether the provision of certain Personal Information is mandatory and explain the implications of not providing it. If you choose not to provide such information when requested, you may be unable to access or use certain features of our Services, particularly where the data is necessary for service delivery or required by law. See Terms of Service for more information.

We collect the following types of data:

Quibble reserves the right to investigate violations of these Terms, suspend or terminate access to any user who engages in prohibited conduct, and take legal action where appropriate.

Quibble is not intended for children under the age of 13, and our Privacy Policy does not extend to users below these age thresholds. We collect your date of birth to ensure that all users meet the minimum age requirement to use Quibble in compliance with applicable laws.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child has created an account or submitted personal information without your consent, please contact us at [email protected], and we will take appropriate steps to address the matter.

If we learn that a user under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take appropriate steps to delete such information.

In jurisdictions where higher minimum age thresholds apply for certain content (e.g., mature content restricted to users 18 or older), we require users to confirm their eligibility. However, we do not currently perform identity verification. Please refer to Terms of Service for more information.

We use the personal information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve our Services. This includes enabling you to create and manage your account, publish and interact with content, and engage with other users. Data is also used to improve the Platform's stability and to personalize your experience, such as surfacing relevant books, authors, or discussions.

Your information allows us to provide customer support and respond to inquiries, process payments and transactions, and communicate with you regarding your account, activity, or service updates. We also rely on collected data to monitor system performance, prevent abuse, detect fraud, and enforce our Terms of Service.

In certain cases, we use your data to develop new features, conduct internal research, and analyze usage trends. These activities are undertaken with appropriate safeguards and, where required, your explicit consent. We may also use your information to comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from public authorities.

Quibble processes your personal data based on one or more of the legal grounds outlined in applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where relevant. These legal bases ensure that our data handling practices are transparent, lawful, and fair.

Where required, we obtain your explicit consent for specific activities such as receiving marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

We comply with legal obligations imposed by law or government authorities, which may require us to process and disclose your data in response to lawful requests, such as subpoenas, court orders, or regulatory investigations.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data in the following circumstances:

As a Swiss company serving a global user base, we may transfer your data to countries outside your jurisdiction. Where we do so, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses, in line with applicable data protection laws.

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Services or fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. After that, data is deleted or anonymized unless we are required to retain it for legal, regulatory, or security purposes.

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. To make such a request, please contact us at [email protected], or log into your account to manage your profile directly. We will respond within the limits of our systems.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, you may also:

These rights are subject to legal exceptions. To exercise them, reach out to us at [email protected].

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no system can be completely secure. Please take care in handling your account credentials and notify us of any suspicious activity.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top. Significant changes will be communicated through the Services or via email.
