2. Personal Data We Collect and How We Collect It
Your personal data is obtained automatically while you use the Game and the Site, and from the information you provide when your score is entered into the leaderboard. You are not asked to create an account; we do not collect your name, surname, email address, telephone number or similar identity information.
2.1. Game data stored on your device. Your level, score, in-game currency, badges, unlocked themes, settings and unfinished game state are kept only in your device's local storage. No copy of this data is held on our servers.
2.2. Leaderboard records. When you play the Game, the anonymous user identifier generated by Firebase Authentication, your display name, your avatar emoji, your score and the time of submission are recorded in the leaderboard. You may set the display name yourself inside the Game; if you do not, a random display name is assigned to you. There is no setting that allows you to play without being recorded in the leaderboard; you may request deletion of your record at any time by following section 8.
2.3. Usage and error records. Technical records relating to the operation and stability of the Game, obtained through installation- and device-level identifiers, device model, operating system version, application version, crash records and connection data (including IP address).
2.4. Purchase records. Transaction records relating to in-app purchases. As payment is processed through the App Store or Google Play, we have no access to your card or payment details.
2.5. Site visit data. Measurement data relating to visits to the Site is recorded.
3. Purposes of Processing and Legal Grounds
Your personal data is processed for the following purposes and on the legal grounds shown against each of them:

4. Sharing of Personal Data
We do not sell or rent your personal data and we do not transfer it to third parties for marketing purposes. Your data is shared only with the following service providers, acting as data processors, so that the service can be provided:

- Vercel Inc. - for hosting the Site and visitor measurement.
5. International Transfers
The service providers listed above process personal data on servers located outside Türkiye, mainly in the United States. Transfers of this kind are subject to Article 9 of the Law.
The data transferred is limited to what is listed in section 2; your name, email address and telephone number are not transferred to these providers. Transfers are made solely for the purpose of providing the service and within the scope of the relevant providers' data processing terms.
Apart from this, your personal data may be shared with authorised public authorities only in order to fulfil a legal obligation and within the limits set by the applicable legislation.
6. Retention Periods
Your personal data is not kept longer than necessary for the purpose for which it is processed. Once the period expires, the data is erased, destroyed or anonymised.

| Anonymous user identifier | Erased from backup systems within 180 days of the record being deleted |

Game data on your device. When you remove the application from your device, the data listed in 2.1 is erased along with it. As we do not hold this data, we cannot delete it on your behalf. The operation cannot be undone.
Your leaderboard record. As this record is held by us, deletion is carried out by us. When sending your request to support@jogagames.io, please include the following so that we can identify the record:
We recommend noting your display name before removing the application; once it is removed you can no longer see it. Following your request, your record is deleted within thirty days at the latest and the outcome is communicated to you. Deletion removes your record from both the weekly and the all-time tables. Usage and error records are linked to an installation-level identifier rather than to a display name and therefore cannot be isolated individually; those records are erased or anonymised when their retention period expires.
- the display name you used in the leaderboard,

- the platform (App Store or Google Play),
- the subject of your request,
- an email address we can reply to (used only to answer this request and deleted once it is completed).
