We are very sorry for not treating our users’ private information more carefully.

In QuizUp you are playing a human in real time in almost every game. In the off chance we cannot find an opponent (which is becoming very rare due to our popularity) you may be pitted against a bot as a fallback strategy. Matchmaking is a hard technical problem, and we have chosen to maximize gameplay experience and consistency. I’m happy to share that the ratio of ghost games to real ones is getting very small! Hopefully we will be able to phase them out completely in the future.
