QZ privacy policy

Last updated: 2026-10-06

What the application handles

QZ keeps on the device what you enter or produce by using it: the questions of your exams, your answers, scores, notes, flags, profiles and settings (language, theme).

None of it reaches us: we have no server to receive it.

Where it is kept

In the browser's storage (IndexedDB, falling back to localStorage or to the page's memory alone). If you clear the browser data you also clear your progress, which is why QZ offers a backup file and, if you choose, reminds you to make one. Reports of wrong questions stay on the device until you export them.

QZ uses no cookies.

The connections the application can make

• The typeface. When the page is opened with a network, the browser asks for the Inter typeface from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, Google services: Google receives the IP address and the ordinary data of a browser request, and handles them under its own policy. Nothing reaches us. Without a network the page uses a system typeface.
• The list of exams. If the page is served from a web address, the “Check for exams” button asks that site for its list of exams and the .exam files: it is a request to the site that gave you the page.
• Syncing with a GitHub Gist (optional). If you turn it on, your progress is sent to api.github.com, into your own GitHub account, with a token you create (the “gist” permission only). The token stays on the device and is never part of a backup. GitHub handles that data under its own policy; we never see it.
• An external link (optional). The application has a link to support its development: if you open it you leave the application and go to another site, which has its own policy.

To work without a network, QZ keeps its own files in a cache on the device (a service worker): it serves files already there and sends nothing.

What is not there

• No account and no sign-up.
• No analytics or statistics service.
• No advertising and no advertising identifier.
• No third-party SDK.
• No cookies.
• No sharing with third parties: we have nothing to share.

How to get QZ

It is downloaded from GitHub (repository fucc74/ExamSimulator). GitHub is a third-party service and handles download requests under its own policy: nothing reaches us.

If you use the “Download” buttons on the QZ page, your browser asks raw.githubusercontent.com (GitHub) for the file and saves it: the file does not pass through our server.

How to delete the data

It is only on your device: from the application's options, or by clearing the site data in the browser. There is no need to ask us: we have no copy. If you turned on syncing, the Gist lives in your GitHub account and you delete it from there.

Who processes the data

The data controller is GIF Web Solutions. For any request concerning this policy or your data, please use the site's contact form, or write to gifwebsolutions (chiocciola) gmail.com.

GIF Web Solutions is the name under which an individual publishes these applications: there is no company, so there is no registered office or VAT number to give. The contacts above are the only valid ones.

Your rights

Where personal data is processed, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 gives you the right to access it, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to the processing, and to receive it in a machine-readable format. You can exercise these rights using the contacts above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

Children

The application is not directed at children under 14 and does not knowingly collect data concerning them.

Changes to this policy

If the processing changes, this page is updated and the date at the top changes with it. Earlier versions are not published: if you need a past version, ask at the contacts above.
