Privacy Policy
DY Games is the name under which independent developer Doğukan Yılmaz publishes mobile games. This Privacy Policy explains how DY Games ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and shares information when you use our mobile games and apps distributed through the Apple App Store (the "Games"). It applies to every Game that links to this page.
By using the Games, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Games.
1. Information we collect
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, address or phone number. The Games collect the following information automatically or when you contact us:
- Device and technical information: device model, operating system version, language, time zone, app version, and network type.
- Device identifiers: the Identifier for Vendors (IDFV) and, only if you allow tracking through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA).
- IP address and approximate location: your IP address and the country, region or city derived from it. We do not collect precise GPS location.
- Gameplay and usage data: levels played, session length, in-game progress, feature usage, and interactions with ads.
- Diagnostic data: crash reports, performance data and error logs.
- Purchase information: if you make an in-app purchase, Apple processes the payment. We receive a transaction record (such as the item purchased and a transaction ID) but never your payment card details.
- Support communications: if you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.
2. How we use information
- To provide, operate and maintain the Games, including saving your progress and delivering purchased items.
- To analyze usage, fix bugs and improve game design, balance and performance.
- To display advertisements, including personalized ads where you have allowed tracking.
- To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns (attribution).
- To detect and prevent fraud, cheating and abuse.
- To respond to your questions and support requests.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.
3. Advertising and App Tracking Transparency
The Games are free to play and supported by advertising. Our advertising partners may collect device identifiers and usage data to show ads, limit how often you see an ad, and measure ad performance.
On iOS, we ask for your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt before accessing your IDFA or tracking you across apps and websites owned by other companies. If you decline, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalized based on cross-app tracking. You can change your choice at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
4. Third-party services
We use the third-party services listed below to operate the Games. These providers may collect information described in Section 1 and process it under their own privacy policies:
- AppLovin (advertising and mediation) – Privacy Policy
- Google Firebase / Google Analytics for Firebase / Crashlytics (analytics and crash reporting) – Privacy Policy
- Google AdMob (advertising) – Privacy Policy
- Unity Ads (advertising) – Privacy Policy
- Meta Audience Network / Facebook SDK (advertising and attribution) – Privacy Policy
- Adjust (attribution) – Privacy Policy
- AppsFlyer (attribution) – Privacy Policy
- GameAnalytics (analytics) – Privacy Policy
5. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only:
- With the service providers and advertising partners listed above, for the purposes described in this policy.
- If required by law, subpoena or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property or safety of us, our users or others.
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of all or part of our business, in which case the information will remain subject to this policy.
Sharing device identifiers and usage data with advertising partners for personalized advertising may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under some U.S. state laws. See Section 7 for how to opt out.
6. Data retention and security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law. Analytics and diagnostic data are generally kept in aggregated or pseudonymous form. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
7. Your privacy rights
All users
- Limit tracking: decline or turn off tracking in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
- Personalized ads: turn off Personalized Ads in Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising.
- Deletion: deleting a Game from your device removes locally stored game data. You may also email us to request deletion of data associated with your device.
California and other U.S. state residents
Depending on where you live (including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon and other states with consumer privacy laws), you may have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect, use and disclose, and request a copy of it;
- Request correction or deletion of your personal information;
- Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information and of targeted advertising;
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
To exercise these rights, email us at 2yilmaz.dogukan@gmail.com with the subject "Privacy Request" and include the name of the Game. Because we do not collect your name or account details, we may ask for your device's IDFV (shown in the Game's settings, if available) or other information to locate your data and verify your request. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our response.
We treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, where we are able to detect it, as a request to opt out of sale/sharing. The Games do not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals.
8. Children's privacy
The Games are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at 2yilmaz.dogukan@gmail.com.
9. International users
The Games are intended for users in the United States. Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Your continued use of the Games after an update means you accept the revised policy.
