Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 1, 2026

Hakan Bagci ("us", "we", or "our") operates the mobile applications listed below:

Any of these apps individually or collectively will be referred to as the "Service".

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data. We operate globally and respect your privacy rights, aiming to process your data in accordance with applicable global standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for European Economic Area (EEA) residents and applicable United States privacy regulations.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions.

Information Collection And Use

We do not collect or store any personally identifiable information on our own private servers. However, to maintain, improve, secure, and monetize our Service, we integrate third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) provided by Google Inc. and its affiliates. These services may automatically collect, process, and transfer device-specific information as described below.

   Consent-Based Processing: In jurisdictions where legal frameworks require it (such as the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and California), we utilize the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent dialog. This allows you to explicitly manage your privacy choices regarding whether third-party services can collect data for personalized advertising and/or analytics tracking.

1. Google AdMob (Advertising)

We use AdMob by Google to display advertisements within the Service to help support and maintain our operations. AdMob uses cookies and mobile device identifiers (such as the Apple ID for Advertisers - IDFA) to personalize advertisements, limit the frequency of ads shown to you, build aggregated ad reports, and prevent fraud and abuse.

To improve performance and security, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect the following information:

IP address: Used to estimate the general location of a device (country, city).
Non-user-related crash logs: Used to diagnose SDK issues and improve stability.
User-associated performance data: (e.g., app launch time, hang rate, or energy usage) to evaluate SDK performance and user interactions.
Device IDs: Device advertising identifiers (IDFA) or app-bounded device identifiers for the purpose of third-party advertising and analytics.
Advertising data: Data regarding the specific ads served to you and your interactions with them.

For more details, visit Google's automated data collection list: AdMob Automatically Collected Information.

2. Google Analytics for Firebase (Firebase Analytics)

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with our Service, allowing us to optimize game flows, improve usability, and plan future features. Firebase Analytics collects usage metrics and behavior data in an anonymized or pseudonymized form.

Data collected includes:

Number of sessions, session duration, and app launches.
First-open events, in-app purchases, and feature usage.
General device characteristics (e.g., device model, operating system version, brand, and language).
Broad geographical location (inferred from IP address, but no precise GPS data).

Firebase Analytics processes data only in accordance with your consent preferences. If you deny consent for analytics or personalized ads, Firebase automatically adjusts its behavior to comply with your signals.

3. Firebase Crashlytics (Crash Reporting)

To ensure our apps run smoothly and reliably, we use Firebase Crashlytics to monitor and diagnose application crashes and errors. When a crash occurs, the SDK collects system information to help us fix the issue in subsequent updates.

Data collected by Crashlytics is strictly diagnostic and not linked to any individual user identity. It includes:

Crash logs, stack traces, and error messages.
Device state information at the time of the crash (e.g., orientation, memory status, disk space).
Device model, operating system version, and system CPU architecture.

4. Firebase Remote Config

We use Firebase Remote Config to dynamically configure and update the layout, settings, and behavior of the Service without requiring you to download a new app version from the App Store. Remote Config uses non-identifiable installation-specific identifiers to deliver customized configurations but does not collect or store any personal data.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Hakan Bagci's legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the specific context in which we collect it:

Your Consent: You have given us explicit permission to do so (e.g., via the UMP consent pop-up for personalized advertising or analytics). You can withdraw this consent at any time.
Legitimate Interests: The processing is in our legitimate interests (such as analyzing app usage to improve our services, detecting and preventing fraud, and resolving crashes via Crashlytics) and is not overridden by your data protection rights.
Compliance with the Law: To comply with our legal obligations.

If you are a resident of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the following rights:

Right of Access, Update, or Deletion: The right to access, update, or request deletion of the personal information we (or our processors) have on you.
Right of Rectification: The right to have your information corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
Right to Object: The right to object to our processing of your personal data.
Right of Restriction: The right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information.
Right to Data Portability: The right to be provided with a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable, and commonly used format.
Right to Withdraw Consent: The right to withdraw your consent at any time where we relied on your consent to process your information.

To exercise any of these rights, or to request what data has been collected, please contact us at puzzlegamesde@gmail.com.

You also have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about our collection and use of your Personal Data. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland.

United States State Privacy Rights (including California)

If you are a resident of the United States, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information under state privacy laws (such as California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah):

Right to Know / Access: The right to request that we disclose what personal information we collect, use, and disclose.
Right to Request Deletion: The right to request the deletion of your personal information collected by us or our service providers.
Right to Correct: The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information.
Right to Opt-Out of the "Sale" or "Sharing" of Personal Information: You can opt-out of personalized advertisements at any time by rejecting personalized ads via the UMP consent form in the app, or by enabling the "Limit Ad Tracking" / "Ask App Not to Track" settings on your iOS device.
Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.

To make a request, please contact us at puzzlegamesde@gmail.com.

Global Privacy Rights

We respect the privacy rights of all our users worldwide. If you reside in another country (such as Canada under PIPEDA, or Brazil under LGPD), we process your data securely and provide you with the tools to confirm processing, access your data, correct incomplete or inaccurate records, block or delete unnecessary data, or withdraw consent by contacting us at puzzlegamesde@gmail.com.

Our Service is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under the age of 16 in certain European countries) without parental consent. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our processors' servers immediately.

For children using the Service, we configure the Google Mobile Ads SDK to serve only non-personalized, family-safe advertisements in compliance with applicable children's privacy laws (such as COPPA).

Retention of Data

We do not store any personal data on our own servers. Our third-party service providers (Google AdMob and Firebase) retain the data they collect in accordance with their respective privacy policies and for the minimum duration necessary to fulfill the purposes of advertising, analytics, and crash reporting.

For more information on how Google uses and retains collected information, please visit:

Transfer Of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, is transferred to and processed on servers maintained by Google (AdMob and Firebase) located in the United States and other global locations. The data protection laws in these countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy, followed by your use of the Service, represents your agreement to that transfer.

Security Of Data

The security of your data is highly important to us. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we and our service providers strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will update the "effective date" at the top of this Privacy Policy when changes are made. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
