Avlu Smash Privacy Policy
Avlu Smash is a mobile game developed by Yazıyoor (“we”). This policy explains which data is processed while you play, why and by whom, under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. Your Save on the Device
Your progress (levels, stars, Coins and Gold, collection, settings, the player name you type) is stored on your device; we have no access to it. The only game data sent to a server is the Bazaar League record below.
2. Google Play Games and Game Center
If you sign in to Google Play Games on Android or Game Center on iPhone, your achievements, leaderboard scores and game backup are kept by Google or Apple under their own privacy policies (Google, Apple). On iPhone the backup lives in your iCloud account. The game reads your profile name and photo to show them on screen; if you have not written a name in the notebook, the Bazaar League shows this name.
3. Bazaar League (Weekly Ranking)
Your first star of the week puts you in a weekly bazaar where up to 30 real players race (until level 50, in the Apprentices' Bazaar). For this an anonymous player account is created with Google Firebase (a random ID; no e-mail, phone number or name is asked for), and the server (Cloud Firestore, Frankfurt, EU) keeps: your in-game name (the name you wrote in Tarçın's notebook, else your Play Games / Game Center name, else a name like “Esnaf 1234”; at most 20 letters, rude words filtered), the avatar you picked (one of the game's own drawings; no photo is uploaded), the level you have reached, your points that week (the stars you earned), your device type (Android / iPhone), your tier and which bazaar you are in. Your name, avatar, level and points are visible to the players in the same bazaar and, in the “All Bazaars” list of the Ranking page, to the other players racing in the league that week. These records are deleted automatically four weeks after the end of the week they belong to. Your league record is created with your first star of the week; no account is created before you earn a star, and you can delete your records at any time with Settings → Delete My Data.
4. Analytics and Crash Reports (Google Firebase)
We use Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to improve the game and fix bugs. They collect an app instance ID, device model, operating system and language, approximate country, game events (level start and end, stars, purchase and rewarded-ad events) and crash logs. This data is not linked to your name or e-mail, is never sold, and is kept on Google's servers for at most 14 months.
5. Ads (Google AdMob)
The game has optional rewarded ads (for example “+3 balls”) and, from level 30, ads between levels. Ads are served by Google, which may process your advertising ID, IP address and device information to do so (how Google uses data from apps that use its services).
- In the European Economic Area and the UK you are asked for consent before personalised ads; you can change your choice in Settings → “Ad Choices”.
- You can reset your advertising ID or turn off ad personalisation in your device settings.
- The “No Ads” purchase removes the ads between levels.
6. Purchases
In-app purchases are processed by Google Play or the App Store. We never see your payment details; we only receive the store's confirmation to deliver what you bought.
7. Transfers Abroad
Google's and Apple's servers may be outside your country (the Bazaar League records are on Google's servers in Frankfurt). The data above goes to these providers to run their services, on the basis of your consent (ad personalisation) or our legitimate interest in providing and improving the game.
8. Children
The game is designed for ages 13 and up and does not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
9. Your Rights and Deleting Your Data
You have the right to access, correct, delete and object to the processing of your data.
- In the game: Settings → Delete My Data deletes the save on your device, empties the cloud backup, resets the analytics ID and deletes your Bazaar League records and your anonymous account from the server (without a connection, the server-side deletion happens the next time the game starts).
- You can also delete Play Games or Game Center data in your account settings.
- For any other request, write to us; we answer within 30 days.
10. Changes to This Policy
When we update this policy we change the date above and announce important changes in the game.
