Privacy Policy

Sudoku 123

The Sudoku 123 app is developed as an ad-supported application. This Service is provided by Nurettin BARDAKCI at no cost and is intended for use as is.

This page is used to inform visitors regarding my policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decides to use my Service.

If you choose to use my Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The Personal Information that I collect is used for providing and improving the Service. I will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy.

Notice Regarding the Turkish Data Protection Law (KVKK)

As the developer is based in Türkiye, personal data processed while you use the Sudoku 123 app is processed by Nurettin BARDAKCI, acting as data controller, in accordance with Turkey's Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data ("KVKK") and the processing conditions set out in Articles 5 and 6 of the KVKK, in addition to any other data protection law that may apply to you. Your personal data is processed only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and is retained only for as long as necessary for those purposes; it is then deleted, destroyed, or anonymized.

Information Collection and Use

For a better experience, while using our Service, I may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information. The information that I request will be retained on your device and is not collected by me in any way.

The app does use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.

Third-party service providers used by the app and their privacy policies:

• Google Play Services
• AdMob
• Google Play Games
• Unity

Log Data

I do not collect log data or crash reports from the app myself; analytics and crash reporting are turned off. However, the third-party services used by the app may collect technical information for their own operation, such as your device Internet Protocol ("IP") address, device model, operating system version, language and the time of use. Unity may collect anonymous device and hardware information.

Advertising Data

The app shows ads through Google AdMob. To deliver, measure and, where you allow it, personalize ads, Google may collect and process your device's advertising ID, other device identifiers, your IP address (from which an approximate location can be derived), device information and your interactions with ads. This data is collected by Google directly; I do not receive or store it. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings.

Google Play Games

If you sign in to Google Play Games, your total score and level are sent to the game's leaderboards and your achievements are recorded. Your Play Games player name and avatar may be visible to other players in the leaderboards. Signing in is optional; the game can be played without it. You can manage or delete this data from your Play Games / Google account settings.

Data Stored on Your Device and Deletion

Your game progress, scores, statistics and settings are stored only on your device. I have no servers and keep no copy of this data. You can delete it at any time by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app.

International Data Transfers

The third-party providers listed above (in particular Google and Unity) may process data on servers located in other countries, including the United States. These transfers are carried out by those providers under their own privacy policies and safeguards.

Cookies

Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites that you visit and are stored on your device's internal memory.

This Service does not use these "cookies" explicitly. However, the app may use third-party code and libraries that use "cookies" to collect information and improve their services. You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your device. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of this Service.

Ad Consent (GDPR / UMP)

In countries covered by the GDPR, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, the app displays a consent form through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) the first time it is opened. This form lets you choose whether to consent to the processing of your data for ad personalization purposes. Where consent is required, you can change your choice at any time from the privacy/ad settings button in the app's menu.

Service Providers

I may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons: to facilitate our Service; to provide the Service on our behalf; to perform Service-related services; or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.

I want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to their Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.

Security

I value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Links to Other Sites

This Service may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by me. Therefore, I strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. I have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Children's Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 18. I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18 years of age. I do not hold any personal data on servers of my own. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided personal information through the app, please contact me so that I can help you with the necessary steps towards the relevant third-party providers.

Your Rights Under the GDPR

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the right to access, correct or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw your consent at any time. Personalized advertising is based on your consent, which you can change at any time from the privacy/ad settings button in the app's menu; the other processing described here is based on legitimate interest in providing and maintaining the Service. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
