Kemu Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 14, 2026
Kemu is a live quiz party game. This policy explains what information Kemu handles, why, and the choices you have. It is written to be read, so it is short and plain.
You can reach the Kemu team at [email protected]. Our website is https://kemu.party.
The short version
- You play without an account. We never ask for your real name, email address, phone number or password.
- We store the name and avatar you choose and your game results, so they are still there when you open the app again on the same phone.
- Kemu shows ads from advertising partners. These partners collect some device information to show and measure ads.
- If you host a party, the topics and the note you type are sent to our question provider. We have enabled sharing of these inputs and generated outputs with that provider for model improvement and training.
- You can delete everything we hold about you at any time in Settings > Delete my data.
Information Kemu handles
Information you give us:
- Your display name and avatar. The avatar is a pattern made from a random code. It is not a photo.
- If you host a party: the topics, quiz language, country name and optional note you choose. Please do not put personal, sensitive or confidential information in the note.
- Your answers and the points you play during a game.
Information created when you use Kemu:
- An anonymous account. The first time you open Kemu, the app creates a random identifier for this installation. It is not linked to your identity. If you delete the app, this account cannot be recovered.
- Game records: the parties you hosted or joined, your scores, and how many games you played and won.
- Technical logs: IP address, device type, operating system, app version, and the date and time of requests. Our hosting provider records these to run and protect the service.
Information collected by the advertising partner:
- Advertising partners may collect your device's advertising identifier, IP address (which shows your approximate location), device and app information, and how you interact with ads. They use this to show ads, limit how often you see an ad, measure ad performance and prevent fraud.
Information stored only on your phone:
- Your language and theme settings.
We do not collect your precise location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera, and we do not sell your personal information.
Why we use it
- To run the game: create and join parties, show names and scores to the players in your party, keep your profile.
- To write quiz questions from the topics and note a host provides.
- To keep Kemu safe: prevent abuse, limit how many parties one account can create, and fix problems.
- To show ads, which pay for the game.
- To meet legal obligations.
Where the law requires a legal basis, we rely on: performing our agreement with you (running the game), our legitimate interests (safety, improving Kemu, and non-personalised ads where allowed), your consent (personalised ads and advertising identifiers, where consent is required), and legal obligations.
Who sees your information
- Other players in your party see your display name, avatar, answers and score. A party is open to anyone who has its game PIN.
- Hosting providers store game data and run the services needed to play.
- Our website hosting provider processes technical request information, such as your IP address, to deliver and protect the site.
- Our question provider processes the topics, quiz language, country name and note a host provides. We do not attach your account identifier, profile name or device information to these requests. We have opted to share request inputs and generated outputs with this provider, which may use them to improve and train its models. Player answers are not sent to the provider for scoring. Retention and processing follow the provider's policies.
- Advertising partners provide ads, as described above.
- Authorities, if the law requires it, or a successor if Kemu is transferred to another company. We will tell you if that happens.
Service providers may process information outside your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. For questions about our service providers or their handling of your information, contact [email protected].
How long we keep it
- Parties, questions, answers and scores are deleted 90 days after the party was created.
- Your profile and anonymous account are deleted after 12 months without playing.
- Technical logs are kept for a short period by our hosting provider.
- When you choose Delete my data, your profile, account, answers and the parties you hosted are deleted straight away.
Your choices and rights
- Delete your data: Settings > Delete my data.
- Change your name or avatar: tap your avatar on the home screen.
- Ad choices: where the law gives you this choice, Kemu asks for your consent when it first opens, and you can change it in Settings > Ad privacy choices. You can also reset or turn off the advertising identifier in your phone's settings.
- Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to our use of your information, to receive a copy of it, and to complain to your data protection authority. Because Kemu accounts are anonymous, we may ask you to send the request from the app so we can find your data. Contact us at [email protected].
Children
Kemu is a family-friendly game for a general audience. It asks for no personal details, limits ads to content rated for general audiences, and screens questions for unsuitable content. Children should play with the permission of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it.
Security
Connections to Kemu are encrypted. The database only lets a player read the parties they are in, and quiz answers stay on the server until they are revealed. No system is perfectly secure, so please choose a display name that does not identify you.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
