We prepared this guide as a summary of the key areas to focus on if you want to create GDPR<\/a>-compliant interactive content with Riddle’s quiz maker<\/a>. In 2025, GDPR-compliance is more important than ever, with TikTok being fined \u20ac530 million and Google \u20ac200 million – and over \u20ac6.7 billion in fines<\/a> since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interactive content like quizzes, polls, personality tests, and mini-games are powerful engagement tools. But they are equally useful for collecting personal data from users for lead generation, contests, leaderboards, and more.

However, collecting personal information (PII) is serious business. To keep your business GDPR-compliant content, it’s crucial to follow the guidelines below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding videos, images, or other content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adding multimedia, such as videos, makes your online content much more effective. However, there are pitfalls to avoid since many services will collect personal data from your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, you should avoid these three services<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. YouTube<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Vimeo<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. X (Twitter)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you are using these services, it’s crucial ask the user for permission to load the content as these tools will load a cookie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To make this easy for you, Riddle lets you create and show a permission screen before content from these networks is loaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Want to use videos in your Riddle?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We recommend uploading MP4 video files, as they will be hosted on our Riddle servers. Riddle will not set any cookies or trackers because we value your and your quiz takers’ privacy, ensuring GDPR compliance in your multimedia content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Plus they also look much better – without YouTube, Vimeo, or Twitter adding their own branding and controls to your Riddle.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Collecting email and personal data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You have to pay special attention when dealing with personal data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
