This is an English-language convenience translation of Curcuna's Turkish Privacy Policy. It is provided to help non-Turkish-speaking users understand our practices. The Turkish version is the legally binding text; in case of any discrepancy between the two, the Turkish version shall prevail.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data is processed when you use the Curcuna mobile app ("the App"), for what purpose, and on what legal basis. Under Turkish Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data ("KVKK"), the data controller is Muhammed Enes Yüksel ("Provider", "we").
When you sign in with your Google or Apple account, our authentication provider (Clerk) supplies us with your name, email address and, if available, your profile photo, which we associate with your account. If you have a subscription, your subscription status and expiry date are also recorded.
If you upload a profile photo, that image is hosted by our authentication provider; we only associate the image's link with your account.
If you subscribe to a plan, your purchase and subscription information is processed by our payment infrastructure provider (RevenueCat) via the Apple App Store or Google Play; your card details never reach us in any form.
If the App encounters an unexpected error, technical information (device model, OS version, app version, and where the error occurred) and certain in-app event logs may automatically be sent to our error-tracking service (Sentry) so we can diagnose and fix the issue. Your IP address is not included in these records.
Usage statistics: To help us improve the App, we record which game you played and for how long, associated with your account (the game's own content — roles, words, scores — is never included, see below). You can turn this off at any time from Settings > Privacy > "Share My Usage Data."
Data that stays on your device and never reaches us: Your sign-in credentials are stored in your device's secure storage (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore). Your favorite games and light/dark theme preference are also kept only on your device and are never sent to our servers. Game rounds, hidden roles and scores are likewise processed only on your device — we never see or store this data in any form.
We process your data to create and manage your account, verify your subscription, keep the App running smoothly, analyze usage trends to improve the App, and meet our legal obligations, relying on the KVKK Article 5 bases of "necessity for the performance of a contract" and "legitimate interest."
To the extent necessary for the App to function, your data is shared with the following service providers: Clerk for authentication, RevenueCat for subscription and payment management, Sentry for error and performance monitoring, and Neon for database hosting. Your purchases are additionally processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, subject to those platforms' own privacy policies. We never sell or rent your data to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.
The service providers listed above may process your data on servers located outside Turkey, including in the United States. These transfers take place within each provider's own security and privacy standards.
Your sign-in tokens are stored in your device's hardware-backed secure storage. Requests reaching our servers (authentication and payment notifications) are verified using signature checks. That said, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, your record on our servers is permanently deleted after a short delay (see Section 8). Backups and logs held by our service providers (Clerk, Sentry, RevenueCat, Neon) may be retained for a further period under each provider's own retention schedule, outside our direct control. Purchase history held by our payment infrastructure provider may be retained after account deletion for legal and accounting purposes.
Under KVKK Article 11, you have the right to: learn whether your data is being processed; request information about it if so; learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used accordingly; know the third parties to whom your data is transferred, domestically or abroad; request correction if it is processed incompletely or incorrectly; request its deletion or destruction under the conditions set out in KVKK; and request that these actions be notified to third parties to whom your data has been transferred. You can send these requests to us at curcunapps@gmail.com.
You can permanently delete your account at any time from within the App via Settings > Delete Account. This deletes your account with our authentication provider and the associated server-side records (your name, email, profile photo link, subscription status, usage statistics) after a short delay. Account deletion does not delete purchase history retained by our payment infrastructure provider or by the app stores for legal and accounting purposes. You can also request deletion if you have already uninstalled the App; see our Account Deletion page for the full steps, the data that is deleted and retained, and the retention periods.
You can download a copy of your data from within the App: Settings > Privacy > Download My Data. The export is provided as a ZIP file containing your profile information, subscription status, usage statistics (which game you played, when, and for how long), and on-device preferences. For any further requests, please contact us at the address above.
The App is not directed at individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone below that age. If you believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Neither the App nor this website uses any cookies, advertising identifiers, or third-party tracking/analytics software. The usage statistics described in Section 1 (which game was played and for how long) are kept only on our own servers, are never shared with any third party or used for advertising, and do not track you across other apps or websites.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced within the App or on this page. Continuing to use the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
If you have questions about this policy or your personal data, you can reach us at curcunapps@gmail.com.
