⚠️ The Hidden Privacy Cost of Quiz Tools
Most AI quiz generators require students to create accounts, collect behavioral data, and store everything on their servers. Every click, every answer, every mistake — logged and stored on infrastructure you don't control.
For educators, trainers, and compliance teams, this creates serious problems:
• Student accounts expose minors' personal information
• Behavioral tracking builds profiles without consent
• Cloud-stored responses can be breached or shared with third parties
• Non-compliant tools put institutions at legal risk (GDPR, FERPA, CCPA)
• Vendor lock-in makes it hard to delete data permanently
QUIZ AI Builder takes a fundamentally different approach: we don't collect data in the first place.
🏗️ Privacy by Architecture, Not Just Policy
Most tools promise privacy in their policy documents. QUIZ AI Builder enforces privacy through its technical architecture. There is no data to breach because no data is collected.
Your Document
Upload a PDF, image, or paste text. This is the only data the add-on touches — and only to generate questions.
AI Processing
Cloud Mode: Gemini API with zero data retention. Local Mode: Your own AI, 100% offline. You choose.
Google Form Created
Questions are injected into a Google Form in your own Google Drive. That's it. No QUIZ AI Builder servers involved.
Students Answer
Students interact with Google Forms only. No QUIZ AI Builder account, no tracking pixel, no cookies, no data collection.
🛡️ What This Means in Practice
✅ No student accounts — students never interact with QUIZ AI Builder
✅ No behavioral tracking — we don't track clicks, time spent, or answer patterns
✅ No data storage — quiz responses live in YOUR Google Drive, not our servers
✅ No third-party sharing — there's nothing to share because we collect nothing
✅ No cookies on students — zero tracking technology on quiz takers
✅ Full local AI option — even your source documents can stay 100% offline
🔄 Where Does Your Data Go? Nowhere.
Here's exactly what happens when you create a quiz with QUIZ AI Builder:
You provide a source document
A PDF, an image, or pasted text. This stays in your browser session.
AI generates questions
Cloud Mode: Document sent to Gemini API → processed → response returned → document deleted (zero retention). Local AI Mode: Nothing leaves your computer.
Quiz created in Google Forms
Questions and answers are written directly to a Google Form in your Drive. QUIZ AI Builder has no copy.
Students take the quiz
They open a Google Form. That's all. They never see, touch, or interact with QUIZ AI Builder. Zero additional data collection.

🔧 Two Modes, One Privacy Promise

❓ Privacy FAQ
No. QUIZ AI Builder never collects, stores, or processes student data. The add-on generates quiz questions from your source materials and creates a Google Form. All student responses are handled entirely by Google Forms, not by QUIZ AI Builder. Students never interact with our tool at all.
QUIZ AI Builder is designed for GDPR compatibility. In Cloud Mode, it uses the Gemini API with zero data retention. In Local AI Mode, no data leaves your computer at all. The add-on itself does not collect personal data, set cookies, or track users. Your Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is straightforward because there's minimal personal data processing.
When using the free Gemini API key in Cloud Mode, Google's terms specify that data sent through the API is not used for model training and is not retained after processing. This is different from using the Gemini chatbot directly. For maximum security, use Local AI Mode where nothing touches the internet.
Yes. In Manual/Local AI Mode, QUIZ AI Builder generates a prompt that you paste into any local AI application running on your own computer (LM Studio, Ollama, GPT4All). No API key, no account, no internet connection required for the AI processing. Your documents stay 100% on your machine.
Unlike Quizizz and Kahoot which require student accounts, collect behavioral data, and store everything on proprietary servers, QUIZ AI Builder creates standard Google Forms quizzes. Students only interact with Google Forms — a platform already approved and assessed by most institutions. QUIZ AI Builder adds zero additional data collection to your workflow.
Because QUIZ AI Builder doesn't process personal data on its own servers, a DPA with QUIZ AI Builder is not typically required. Your existing Google Workspace DPA covers the Google Forms portion. For Cloud Mode, the Gemini API falls under Google's standard API terms. This significantly simplifies procurement and compliance review.
