1. INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy explains how the Glimmerwood: Potion Sort game for iPhone ("the App") handles information. It applies only to the App. The privacy policy of the efegerek.com website is a separate document.
In short
- There are no accounts and we do not ask for your name, email or any other personal details.
- Your game progress stays on your device and in your own iCloud storage.
- Ads are provided by Google AdMob, which collects some device and usage data to show and measure ads.
- The only purchase, Remove Ads, is handled entirely by Apple.
2. DATA CONTROLLER
3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We, the developer, do not collect, receive, store or sell personal information through the App. The App has no sign-up, no account, no server of its own and no analytics tools of our own, and it does not use Game Center. The sections below describe the data that stays on your device and the third-party services the App uses.
4. GAME PROGRESS AND SETTINGS
Your progress (cleared levels, stars, hearts and the story scenes you have seen) and your settings are stored on your device. If iCloud is enabled on your device, a copy of your level progress (cleared levels, stars and story scenes; hearts stay on the device) is saved in your private iCloud key-value storage so it can sync between your devices. This data is tied to your Apple Account and is not accessible to us. Deleting the App removes the copy stored on your device. The iCloud copy stays in your iCloud account, so your progress can return if you reinstall the App, and is managed by Apple as part of your iCloud data.
5. ADVERTISING (GOOGLE ADMOB)
The App shows ads provided by Google AdMob (Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited). An ad may appear after a level ends, whether you win or not, at most once every 60 seconds and only after you have cleared your fifth level. You can also choose to watch an optional rewarded video to get +5 moves after running out of moves (once per attempt) or +1 heart. The game itself can be played offline; ads are only loaded when your device is connected to the internet. To deliver ads, measure their performance and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK built into the App may collect:
- Your device's advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking, and other app-scoped identifiers
- IP address, which may be used to estimate your general location
- Information about the ads you see and how you interact with them
- Diagnostic information such as crash logs and performance data
5.1. Tracking permission
iOS asks whether the App may track you across apps and websites owned by other companies. If you decline, your advertising identifier is not shared and ads are less personalized. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
5.2. Consent in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
In these regions the App asks for your consent through Google's consent form before personalized ads are shown. You can review or change your choice in the App under Settings → Privacy choices (this option is shown only where consent applies).
5.3. Remove Ads
The optional Remove Ads purchase permanently turns off the ads shown between levels. Rewarded videos (+5 moves, +1 heart) remain available because you choose when to watch them.
Google processes this data as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
6. IN-APP PURCHASES
The only purchase in the App is Remove Ads, a one-time (non-consumable) purchase. It is processed by Apple through the App Store, and we never see your payment details. Apple only confirms to the App that you own it so it can be unlocked and restored (Settings → Restore). Apple's handling of your purchase is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.
7. LEGAL BASIS
Where the GDPR or Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) applies, personalized advertising relies on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time as described in section 5. Storing your progress on your device is necessary to provide the game you asked for.
8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Google and Apple may process data on servers outside your country, including in the United States and the European Union, under their own safeguards.
9. DATA RETENTION
We hold no personal data about you. Data on your device remains until you delete the App, and data in iCloud remains until it is removed from your iCloud account. Data collected by Google and Apple is kept according to their own retention policies.
10. YOUR RIGHTS
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or KVKK), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent. Because we don't hold personal data about you, requests concerning advertising data are best made to Google, and requests about iCloud or purchases to Apple. You can always contact us at [email protected] and we will help.
11. CHILDREN
Glimmerwood is a game for a general audience. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will help remove it.
12. SECURITY
Progress data is protected by your device's and Apple's security. Purchase information is verified through Apple's signed transactions.
13. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. Significant changes will also be noted in the App's release notes.
