About this policy

This Privacy Policy applies to https://ww1schools.com ("WW1 Schools," "we," "our," or "the website"). It covers interactions with the website's educational articles, timelines, interactive activities, quizzes, and related features.

Individual features and third-party services may have additional privacy notices. Where a particular feature is unavailable or a service is not enabled, the related description below does not mean that the feature or service is active.

Information that may be collected

Information you choose to provide

If you contact us or use an optional form, we may receive the information you enter, such as your name, email address, and message. Please avoid including sensitive personal information in ordinary messages or quiz responses.

Technical and usage information

When the website is accessed, its hosting, security, and other enabled services may process IP addresses, browser and device information, approximate location derived from an IP address, pages requested, referring pages, timestamps, error logs, and cookie or similar identifiers.

Interactive activity data

Quizzes and related tools may process answer selections, scores, completion status, timing information, and the rank shown at the end of an activity. How long this information remains available and whether it is stored locally or transmitted to a server depends on the particular feature and its configuration.

Lessons, quizzes & Field Exam

The website's learning tools are designed to help visitors understand World War I—from the events at Sarajevo to the Armistice—and check their understanding of historical facts.

To display quiz feedback, calculate a score, or assign a rank such as Recruit or General, the relevant quiz may need to process your selections and results. Some quiz features can operate within a browser, while others may rely on website storage or third-party tools.

If we introduce optional accounts, public leaderboards, certificates, or saved progress, we will describe the additional information those features require and any related privacy choices.

Why information may be used

Depending on the services enabled, information may be used to:

• Deliver website pages, historical lessons, quiz questions, results and rankings.
• Maintain website functionality, reliability, performance and accessibility.
• Detect errors, abuse, malicious traffic and security threats.
• Understand aggregate use of lessons and activities and improve educational content.
• Respond to messages, support requests, or privacy inquiries.
• Display or measure advertising if advertising services are enabled.
• Meet applicable legal obligations and protect legitimate rights.

Where privacy laws require a lawful basis, processing may rely on consent, legitimate interests, performance of a requested service, or legal obligations, as applicable. Non-essential tracking or personalized advertising may require additional consent or opt-out choices depending on your location.

Cookies & similar technologies

Cookies are small files that a browser may store on a device. Websites may also use local storage, pixels, and related technologies to support settings, security, usage measurement, and advertising.

Technologies used on WW1 Schools may fall into these categories, when enabled:

• Essential: Help operate the website and maintain security or requested functions.
• Functional: Help remember choices, settings, or quiz progress.
• Analytics: Help measure visits and understand site performance.
• Advertising: Help deliver, limit, or measure advertisements.

You can manage or delete cookies through browser settings. If a consent-management tool is provided, it may also allow you to adjust applicable non-essential cookie choices. Disabling some storage technologies may affect certain features.

Analytics & advertising

If analytics services are enabled, they may process device information, identifiers, usage events, and page activity to provide reports about how the website is used.

If advertising is enabled, advertising partners, including Google where its advertising products are used, may place or read cookies, use web beacons, IP addresses or other identifiers, and process information for purposes such as delivering and measuring advertisements, preventing fraud, and applying frequency controls. The ads displayed may be personalized or non-personalized depending on applicable law, consent choices, and service settings.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at Google's partner-sites information page, and manage certain Google ad preferences in My Ad Center.

When information may be shared

Information may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, content delivery, security, email or contact forms, analytics, and advertising, where those services are in use. Such providers may handle information under their own policies or under arrangements governing services they provide to the website.

Information may also be disclosed where legally required or reasonably necessary to address security incidents, fraud, or legal claims. Certain uses of advertising technologies may be considered a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under some privacy laws; applicable choices should be made available where legally required.

Retention & security

Information should be retained only for the period reasonably necessary for its purpose, including operating website features, handling correspondence, maintaining security records, resolving disputes, or satisfying legal obligations. Actual retention periods can vary by category of information and by service provider.

We aim to use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the information handled. However, no website, storage method, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

International visitors

WW1 Schools may be accessible from different countries. Hosting infrastructure and enabled service providers may process information in locations outside a visitor's country. Where applicable, cross-border handling of personal information must be supported by legally required safeguards.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions may have additional rights and protections under their local laws.

Your privacy choices & rights

Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may be entitled to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of certain personal information; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; or opt out of certain advertising-related uses.

To make a request, use the contact information below and describe what you would like us to review. We may need reasonable information to verify and respond to a request. Rights may be limited by applicable law or circumstances, and some data may be controlled directly by a third-party provider.

You may also be able to manage cookies in your browser, choose advertising preferences through partner controls, or contact an appropriate data protection authority where the law provides that option.

Children, students & educators

World War I lessons and quizzes may be of interest to students, families, and educators. Students should avoid entering their full name, school information, address, phone number, or other personal details into quiz answers or public fields unless specifically requested for a legitimate purpose.

Where a feature collects personal information from children and children's privacy laws apply, appropriate notices, restrictions, and parental or school-related consent arrangements may be required. We aim to review and address reports of information collected from a child in a manner that does not comply with applicable law.

Parents, guardians, and educators with privacy concerns can use the contact details below. Educational use by itself does not eliminate obligations concerning children's information or advertising technologies.

Links to other websites

Historical articles and learning materials may reference museums, archives, research resources, and other third-party websites. Once you leave WW1 Schools, those sites and services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. We encourage you to review them when relevant.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be revised when website features, service providers, legal requirements, or data practices change. The effective date near the top of this page indicates when the current version was issued. For significant changes, additional notice may be provided where required by law.
