Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Apple Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
Unity Privacy Policy: https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy
Google AdMob Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

Comply with a legal obligation, regulation, or valid legal process (e.g., subpoena, court order, or government request);
Protect and defend our rights or property;
Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Game;
Protect the personal safety of users of the Game or the public.

4.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other similar event, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via a prominent notice within the Game or by email of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.

We use Google AdMob to serve advertisements within the Game. AdMob may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to collect information about your device and your interaction with ads.

5.1 Personalized vs. Non-Personalized Ads

Personalized Ads: With your consent (where required by law), AdMob may serve personalized ads based on your interests, inferred from your activity across apps and websites. Personalized advertising relies on your device's Advertising ID.
Non-Personalized Ads: If you do not consent to personalized advertising, or if you are in a jurisdiction where consent is required and has not been obtained, we will serve non-personalized ads. Non-personalized ads are targeted using contextual information rather than your personal data.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by:

On Android: Going to Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization (or Delete advertising ID on Android 12+).
On iOS: Going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking and disabling "Allow Apps to Request to Track," or going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising and disabling "Personalized Ads."

6. In-App Purchases

The Game offers in-app purchases. All payment transactions are processed by Apple (for iOS) or Google (for Android) through their respective payment systems. We do not collect, process, or store your financial or payment information (e.g., credit card numbers, bank account details).

We receive only:

Confirmation that a purchase was made;
The product identifier(s) of the purchased item(s);
Transaction identifiers and receipts for verification purposes.

For information about how Apple and Google handle your payment data, please review their respective privacy policies linked in Section 4.1.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Analytics Data: Retained as aggregated and anonymized data for up to 24 months.
Advertising Data: Managed and retained by Google AdMob in accordance with Google's data retention policies.

Using encrypted connections (TLS/SSL) for data transmission;
Restricting access to personal data to authorized personnel only;
Relying on industry-standard security practices of our third-party service providers (Google, Apple, Unity).

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

The Game is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under the age of 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these ages. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the applicable age, we will take steps to delete such information as promptly as possible.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at studiovvas@gmail.com, and we will take steps to delete the information.

Turkey has not received an adequacy decision from the European Commission for all sectors. Where such transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or your explicit consent, to ensure your data is protected in accordance with GDPR requirements.

Additionally, our third-party service providers (Google, Apple, Unity) may transfer your data to countries outside the EEA/UK, including the United States. These providers maintain their own data transfer mechanisms and safeguards, as described in their respective privacy policies.
