Privacy Policy
This policy explains how the publisher of TürkDonanma Barbaros ("we", "us") handles information when you use our game and contact our support team. For privacy questions, contact [email protected].
1. Information used by the game
- Account and device identifiers: the game can create an account automatically without an email address or password. We use an installation identifier, account and character IDs, session credentials, and a hashed device identifier to recognize your account and maintain progress. On Android, the device identifier is derived from the platform's device identifier and hashed before transmission; our server applies an additional hash.
- Gameplay information: character names, progression, ships, inventory, virtual currencies, upgrades, battle results, trade activity, rankings, and other actions needed to operate the game.
- Connection and technical information: connection times and status, language settings, client information and diagnostic events. Our servers and network providers receive your IP address when you connect. A hashed user-agent value is used in session records.
- Purchase information: Google Play product IDs, purchase tokens, order references, purchase status and the virtual goods credited to your account. We use these to verify purchases and prevent duplicate grants. We do not receive your full payment card details from Google Play.
- Support correspondence: your email address and information you choose to include when contacting us, including account deletion requests.
Ship positions and movement are virtual game coordinates, not your real-world GPS location. The game does not need access to your contacts, microphone, camera, or precise physical location for normal gameplay.
2. Why we use this information
We use information to create and recognize your account, save progress, operate multiplayer encounters and the personal game world, verify purchases, administer rankings, prevent abuse and cheating, diagnose connection problems, and respond to support and deletion requests.
3. Information visible to other players
Other players may see your in-game character name, rankings, ship information, and virtual position or activity through multiplayer features. Some game features may show an offline ship or an approximate in-game area. We do not display your support email, session credentials, device identity hashes, or purchase tokens to other players.
4. Service providers and sharing
Google Play processes purchases and receives information under its own terms and privacy policy. Our hosting and network services, including Cloudflare, process connection information to deliver and protect the service. Email providers process messages you send to support. These providers may process information in countries other than your own.
We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information when required by law or where necessary to protect users, investigate fraud, or secure the service.
Provider information: Google Privacy Policy and Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
5. Storage and retention
Account and gameplay records are kept while your account is used to provide the game and preserve your progress. Technical and support records are retained for the time needed to operate and secure the service and resolve requests. Purchase records may need to be retained to verify transactions, prevent fraud, or meet legal obligations.
After a verified account deletion request, we remove or anonymize the associated personal account and gameplay data, except limited records that need to be retained for a legitimate security, fraud-prevention or legal purpose. If an exception applies, we will explain the data retained, the reason and the applicable retention period in our response. Google Play's own transaction records are governed by Google's policies.
6. Security
We use account and session controls and server-side validation to protect gameplay and purchases. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Do not share session credentials or private purchase tokens in public messages.
7. Your choices and requests
You can contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information associated with your account. We may need to verify account ownership before taking action. Depending on your location, additional privacy rights may apply.
To request account and associated data deletion, visit our Account & Data Deletion page. Uninstalling the app alone does not delete your server account or saved progress.
8. Children's privacy
If you believe a child has provided information that should not be retained, contact us so we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
9. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the game or its data practices change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Contact us at [email protected] for questions about this policy or your information.
