Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data the game Simit Kapmaca: Boğaz Ligi (“the Game”) for Android and iOS processes, why, and your rights. You do not need an account, email or phone number to play.
1. Data stored on your device
Your scores, simit balance, unlocked costumes, mission stars, settings, nickname and the game’s error log are stored only on your device and are not sent to us. Uninstalling the Game deletes them.
2. Online leaderboard
When your device is online, your scores are submitted to daily, weekly and all-time leaderboards using Google Firebase:
- Firebase Authentication (anonymous sign-in): a randomly generated ID, not your name or email.
- Cloud Firestore: anonymous ID, nickname, score, distance flown, stage and port reached, chosen costume and time of the score. Your nickname and score are visible to other players.
Please do not use your real name or personal details as a nickname. Offline scores are queued on your device and sent when you reconnect.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The Game is free and supported by Google AdMob. Ads are shown as a small banner on the main menu, between flights and in rewarded ads you choose to watch. No ads are shown during a flight. AdMob may process your device’s advertising ID (Android Advertising ID; on iOS the IDFA only with your permission), IP address and approximate location, technical device information (model, OS, language, app version) and ad interactions, to serve and measure ads and prevent fraud.
Players in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked for consent for personalised ads at first launch and can change it anytime under Settings → Ad preferences (Reklam tercihleri). On iOS, if you deny tracking, ads are not personalised. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone’s privacy settings.

4. Sharing
| Provider | Purpose | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore) | Online leaderboard | Anonymous ID, nickname, score and game details |
| Google AdMob | Serving and measuring ads | Advertising ID, IP address, device info, ad interactions |
We do not sell your data. These providers may process data outside Türkiye (e.g. USA, EU).
5. Retention
Leaderboard entries are kept for the board’s period (day, week) and, for the all-time board, while the Game is available. Ask us to delete yours at the contact below. Ad data retention follows Google’s policies.
6. Children
The Game is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. Contact us and we will delete such data.
7. Your rights (KVKK / GDPR)
Depending on where you live you may request access, correction or deletion of your data, object to processing and lodge a complaint with your data protection authority. To delete a leaderboard entry, send us your nickname and the board.
8. Security
Leaderboard data is protected by Google’s encrypted connections and access rules; each player can only modify their own score entry.
9. Changes
If we update this policy, the date above changes; important changes are also announced in the Game.
