Privacy Policy

Effective October 29, 2026 · Kordela: Connect the Dots Game for iPhone and iPad · Türkçe özet

1. Who we are

Kordela: Connect the Dots Game (“Kordela” or “the game”) is developed and published by Alperen Çiftlikçi, an independent developer (“we”, “us”). We are responsible for the personal data described in this policy (in GDPR terms, the data controller). For any privacy question or request, email kordela.app@gmail.com.

2. No account needed

Kordela has no sign-up and no login: you can play as soon as you open it. When the game first connects to the internet, Firebase Authentication quietly creates a random anonymous ID for your copy of the game. We never ask for your name, email address, phone number or Apple Account, and the anonymous ID is not linked to any of them.

3. Data stored on your device

The game stores your progress (the levels you have cleared, your stars and best times), your settings and your Sequins (the in-game currency) on your device. This copy stays on the device and is removed when you delete the game or use Delete my data. An online backup is described in the next section.

4. Data that leaves your device

The game sends a small amount of data to the services below. None of it includes your name, contact details, photos, contacts or location. The game collects no analytics or usage statistics.

When the game connects to these services, they also receive your device’s IP address, as with any internet connection. We do not use it to identify you.

5. Purchases and payments

All payments are made through Apple’s App Store, and Apple processes them. We never see or store your card or other payment details. Apple tells us and RevenueCat which item you bought, when, and its transaction ID, so the game can deliver it. How Apple handles your data is described in Apple’s Privacy Policy.

6. What we never do

• We don’t show ads, and the game contains no advertising SDKs.
• We don’t track you across other companies’ apps or websites. The game doesn’t use Apple’s advertising identifier (IDFA), so it never asks for permission to track you.
• We don’t sell your personal data, and we don’t share it for advertising.
• We don’t collect analytics or usage statistics: the game contains no analytics SDK.
• We don’t collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or location (precise or approximate).

7. Is any of this linked to you?

None of the data above is linked to your name, email address or Apple Account. Your backup, Sequins and purchase records are linked to the random anonymous ID, so they can be kept together and restored. On its own, none of it tells us who you are.

8. When you email us

If you write to us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use them only to answer you, and keep the conversation only as long as we need it to help you.

9. Service providers

These companies process data for us, under their own terms and security measures:

• Google, for Firebase: Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions and App Check. See Privacy and Security in Firebase.
• RevenueCat, Inc., for checking purchases. See RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy.
• Apple Inc., for App Store payments and App Attest. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.

10. How long we keep data

• On your device: until you use Delete my data or delete the game.
• Anonymous ID, game backup, Sequins wallet and purchase records: until you delete them with Delete my data or ask us to delete them.
• RevenueCat’s records: until you delete your data; they are deleted along with it.
• Emails: as long as we need them to help you.

Apple keeps its own records of your purchases under Apple’s privacy policy.

11. Deleting your data

In the game: open Settings and tap Delete my data. This deletes your progress, stars, settings and Sequins, including Sequins you bought, from your device and from our servers. It also deletes your anonymous ID and has RevenueCat delete its record of your purchases. Deletion needs an internet connection and cannot be undone. Afterwards, the game starts again from level 1.

By email: write to kordela.app@gmail.com. Because Kordela has no accounts, we may need your help to find your data, for example the order ID from an App Store receipt.

What remains: so that a purchase can never be delivered twice, we keep the App Store transaction IDs of past purchases with the link to your anonymous ID removed, and a note that the anonymous ID was deleted.

Deleting the game from your device removes only the copy on the device. The online backup stays until you use Delete my data or ask us to delete it. Permanent purchases stay with your Apple Account, so you can bring them back later with Restore Purchases.

12. Children

Kordela is suitable for everyone and is rated 4+ on the App Store, but it is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Your rights

Wherever you live, you can email us to ask for a copy of your data, to have it corrected or deleted, or with any question about it. We will not treat you differently for using your rights. If we cannot connect a request to any data, we will tell you.

European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland (GDPR)

You have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable format. You can also complain to your local data protection authority. We answer requests within one month.

We rely on these legal bases:

• Contract: running the game, the online backup, the Sequins wallet and your purchases.
• Legitimate interests: device checks, to protect the game from cheating and abuse, and answering your emails.

California (CCPA)

If you live in California, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use and disclose, to have it deleted or corrected, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information, as California law defines those terms, and we do not collect sensitive personal information.

The game collects these categories: identifiers (the anonymous ID); commercial information (records of purchases); and internet or other electronic network activity (game progress). We do not collect location. We collect them from your device, use them for the purposes in section 4, and disclose them only to the service providers in section 9. You, or an agent you authorize, can make a request by email. We answer within 45 days.

14. International transfers

Our service providers run servers in several countries, including the United States and the European Union, so your data may be processed outside the country where you live. When data from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland is transferred to a country without an adequacy decision, it is protected by the safeguards in the providers’ data processing terms, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

15. Security

Data is sent over encrypted connections. Our database lets each anonymous ID read only its own data, and device checks help block requests that do not come from the genuine game. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.

16. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the game changes. We will post the new version on this page with a new effective date, and for significant changes we will also let you know in the game.

• Hesap yok: Kayıt ya da giriş yoktur, oyun hemen başlar. Oyun internete ilk bağlandığında Firebase rastgele, anonim bir kimlik oluşturur. Adınızı, e-posta adresinizi, telefon numaranızı ya da Apple Hesabınızı istemeyiz; anonim kimlik bunların hiçbiriyle ilişkilendirilmez.
• Cihazınızda saklananlar: İlerlemeniz, yıldızlarınız, ayarlarınız ve Pul bakiyeniz cihazınızda saklanır.

• Analitik ve konum yok: Oyun analitik ya da kullanım istatistiği toplamaz ve analitik SDK’sı içermez. Konumunuzu (kesin ya da yaklaşık) toplamayız.
• Ödemeler: Tüm ödemeleri Apple işler; kart bilgilerinizi hiçbir zaman görmeyiz.
• Yapmadıklarımız: Reklam ve reklam SDK’sı yoktur. Sizi başka şirketlerin uygulamaları ve web siteleri arasında takip etmeyiz; bu yüzden oyun takip izni istemez. Verilerinizi satmayız ve reklam amacıyla paylaşmayız. Toplanan veriler kimliğinizle ilişkilendirilmez; tek bağlantı rastgele anonim kimliktir.
• Saklama ve silme: Verileriniz siz silene kadar saklanır. Oyunda Ayarlar → Verilerin → Verilerimi Sil ile cihazınızdaki ve sunucularımızdaki verilerinizi (satın aldığınız Pul’lar dahil) silebilirsiniz. Bu işlem geri alınamaz. Silme isteğinizi e-postayla da gönderebilirsiniz.
• Çocuklar: Oyun herkese uygundur (4+), ancak 13 yaşından küçük çocuklara yönelik değildir ve onlardan bilerek kişisel veri toplamayız.
