Subject to your settings, we may also associate your account with browsers or devices other than those you use to log into Quizy (or associate your logged-out device or browser with other browsers or devices). When you provide other information to Quizy, including an email address, we associate that information with your Quizy account. Subject to your settings, we may also use this information in order to infer other information about your identity, for example by associating your account with hashes of email addresses that share common components with the email address you have provided to Quizy. We do this to operate and personalize our Services.
