1. Scope and data controller
This policy covers the personal data processed by the developer through the Kelime Ağı iOS app. For questions or requests concerning your data, please use the developer support link on the app’s App Store page.
2. Data we collect
Your email address, sign-in method and account ID. If you use Sign in with Apple, we may process the name and email address you choose to share through Apple. If you sign in with Google, we may process the relevant authentication information.
Your display name, username or friend code, chosen avatar, friendships, invitations, online status, chats, reactions, blocked players and player reports.
Game rooms and moves; scores, levels, wins, streaks and rankings; diamonds, unlocked themes, rewards, challenges and your inventory of in-game tools.
Product IDs, verified transaction IDs, subscription or access status and expiry dates. We do not receive your card or payment details. Apple processes payments.
Firebase and sign-in providers may process IP addresses, user agent information and technical logs needed for authentication and service security. If you enable notifications, a device token may be used to deliver them.
Settings, local game state, cached data, your custom avatar image and, if you enable ‘remember me’, sign-in information may be stored on your device. In the current version, photos chosen for custom avatars are not uploaded to the cloud.
3. How and why we use your data
We use this data to create your account and manage sign-in, provide online gameplay and social features, sync your progress, verify purchase entitlements, send notifications, prevent abuse, review player reports and keep the service secure.
Our grounds for processing include providing the service you request, our legitimate interests in security and improving the service, your choices or consent for features such as notifications and photo selection, and applicable legal obligations.
4. Sharing and service providers
We use Google Firebase for authentication and cloud database services, Apple for the App Store, StoreKit, Sign in with Apple and notification infrastructure, and Google Sign-In if you choose it. These providers may process data under their own terms and privacy policies.
Your display name, avatar, game statistics, online status and in-game messages or reactions may be visible to other players you interact with. We do not sell your data, and the current version does not share it for third-party advertising.
5. International transfers
Because Firebase and other service providers operate internationally, your data may be processed on servers outside your country of residence, including in the United States. In these cases, we rely on the contractual and technical safeguards provided by those providers.
6. Retention and deletion
We retain account and cloud gameplay data for as long as needed to provide the service. We retain records relating to security, disputes and legal obligations for as long as their purposes require. Deletion from backups may take additional time for technical reasons.
The account deletion feature in the app removes your authentication account. To request deletion of associated cloud gameplay, social or notification records, contact us through the developer support link on the App Store. Guest games and other local data remain on your device and can be removed by deleting the app or clearing its data.
7. Your choices and rights
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or transfer your data, restrict its processing or object to processing. You may withdraw your consent and complain to the relevant data protection authority.
You can turn off notifications in iOS Settings and manage photo access in your device settings. We may need to verify your account before fulfilling a data request.
8. Children’s privacy
Kelime Ağı is not intended to allow children below the applicable age of digital consent to create accounts without parental permission. If you believe we have processed a child’s data without the required permission, please contact us through the developer support channel.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data. However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing it electronically is entirely risk-free. We recommend protecting your device and sign-in details.
10. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the app or legal requirements change. We will announce significant changes in the app or on this page and update the date above. For questions and requests, please use the developer support link on the app’s App Store page.
