Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled in the mobile games published by Kerem Gönülkırmaz (“I”, “me”, “the developer”) on the Apple App Store and Google Play (each a “Game”, together the “Games”). It applies to every Game that links to this page. By using a Game you acknowledge this policy.
1. Summary
- The Games have no accounts and no sign-in. I do not run servers that collect your data.
- Your game progress and settings are stored only on your device.
- The Games show ads through Google AdMob. Google may collect device and usage information to show and measure ads, as described below.
- You control ad personalization: through the iOS tracking prompt, the consent form in regions where it is required, the “Privacy settings” option in the Game, and your device settings.
2. Information I collect
I do not collect, store or have access to personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location through the Games.
Data stored on your device. Game progress, scores, preferences and purchase status are saved locally on your device so the Game works offline. This data is not sent to me. It is removed when you delete the Game. Depending on your device settings, it may be included in your own device backups (iCloud or Google).
If you contact me. If you email me, I receive your email address and the content of your message, and use them only to reply to you. I delete such correspondence when it is no longer needed.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The Games are free and supported by ads served by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC and its affiliates (“Google”). To deliver ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in the Game may collect and process:
- device identifiers, such as the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iOS when you allow tracking, or the Android Advertising ID;
- IP address and the approximate location derived from it (country or city level);
- device and app information (device model, operating system, language, app version);
- ad interactions (ads shown, taps, rewarded ads completed) and diagnostic data such as crash logs from the SDK.
Google uses this information to serve and measure ads, limit how often you see the same ad, prevent fraud and abuse, and, only where you have allowed it, to personalize ads based on your interests. Google acts as an independent controller of this data. Please read How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Ad formats. Games may show banner ads, full-screen ads at natural breaks (for example between levels), and optional rewarded ads that you choose to watch in exchange for an in-game reward.
4. Your choices about ads and tracking
- iOS (App Tracking Transparency). On iOS, a Game asks for your permission before your IDFA can be used for tracking. If you choose “Ask App Not to Track”, the IDFA is not shared and you will see ads that are not based on tracking across other companies’ apps and websites. You can change this any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- EEA, UK and Switzerland. Before ads are shown, a consent form (Google’s User Messaging Platform) asks whether Google and its ad partners may use your data for personalized ads and related purposes. You can review or withdraw your choice any time from the “Privacy settings” option in the Game. Personal data is processed on the basis of your consent and, for purposes such as fraud prevention and security, the legitimate interests of Google and the developer.
- Android. You can reset or delete your Advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalization, in Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads, depending on your device).
- Google ad settings. You can manage ad personalization at My Ad Center.
5. In-app purchases
Some Games may offer optional purchases, such as removing ads. Payments are processed entirely by Apple or Google. I do not receive your payment card details; I only receive confirmation that a purchase was made so it can be unlocked on your device.
6. Platform statistics
Apple (App Store Connect) and Google (Play Console) provide me with aggregated, non-identifying statistics such as downloads, crashes and usage, and only to the extent you have agreed to share analytics with app developers in your device settings. I cannot identify you from these statistics.
7. Children
The Games are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country, such as 16 in parts of the EEA). I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a Game is ever designed for children, its ads will be configured as child-directed (no personalized ads), and this policy will say so for that Game. If you believe a child has provided personal information to me, contact me and I will delete it.
8. Data retention and security
Data stored on your device stays there until you delete the Game. Data collected by Google for advertising is kept according to Google’s policies. I keep emails only as long as needed to handle your request. The Games communicate with Google’s ad services over encrypted connections.
9. International transfers
Google may process advertising data in countries other than your own, including the United States, using the safeguards described in its privacy policy (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act or Turkey’s Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data, “KVKK”), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, to withdraw consent, and to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. Because I do not hold personal data about you other than any emails you send me, most requests are best handled by:
- deleting the Game to remove all locally stored data;
- changing your choices through the in-game “Privacy settings”, iOS tracking settings or Android ad settings;
- using Google’s privacy tools for data collected by Google.
California residents. I do not sell personal information for money. Showing personalized ads may count as “sharing” under California law; you can opt out by declining tracking on iOS, opting out of ad personalization on Android, or using the in-game privacy settings.
For any request, contact me at the address below. I will respond within 30 days.
11. Changes to this policy
I may update this policy, for example when a Game adds a new feature or service. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Significant changes will also be shown in the Game where appropriate.
