Privacy policy
This policy explains what data the Kentova mobile game ("the game") processes, why, and the choices you have. In short: the game has no accounts and never asks for your name, e-mail or location. Your progress stays on your device. We use Google services for measurement, crash reports and ads.
1. Controller and contact
Kentova is published by an independent developer. For any privacy question or request: sinemaar1@gmail.com
2. Data that stays on your device
Your town, level progress, Chips balance and settings (sound, language, reduce motion) are kept only in a save file on your device. It is not sent to us. Uninstalling the game deletes it.
3. Third-party services
| Service | Purpose | Data processed |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase Analytics | Understanding, in aggregate, how the game is played (for example how many players finish the tutorial, which level is hard) | App instance ID, in-game events (such as level started/finished), device model, operating system, language, approximate country/city (from the IP address; the IP is not stored), session lengths |
| Google Firebase Crashlytics | Finding and fixing crashes | Crash trace, device model and state (memory, orientation), operating system, Crashlytics installation ID |
| Google AdMob | Showing the ads that keep the game free | Advertising ID (Android advertising ID / iOS IDFA, if you allow it), IP address, device and app information, ad interactions |
| Google User Messaging Platform | Asking for ad consent and storing your choice | Your consent choice (on your device), device information |
| Cloudflare Pages | Downloading the event calendar file | Standard web request data (IP address, time). No identifier that recognises you is sent. |
How Google uses data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Firebase privacy information: firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
4. Ads and consent
- In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland the game shows a consent form on launch. If you do not consent, ads are not personalised; Google serves only limited or non-personalised ads. You can change your choice any time in Settings → Privacy options in the game.
- On iOS, Apple's tracking prompt is shown. If you decline, the IDFA is not shared.
- On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Settings → Google → Ads.
- Ads are limited to content suitable for a general audience aged 13+ (maximum ad content rating: T). Gambling, dating and alcohol ads are blocked.
5. Purchases
If in-app purchases are added later, payments are handled by Google Play or the App Store. We never see your card details; we only verify the purchase receipt on your device.
6. Retention
- Firebase Analytics event data: 14 months.
- Crashlytics crash reports: 90 days.
- AdMob data: according to Google's own retention policy.
7. Children
The game is designed for ages 13 and up and is not directed at children. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us data, write to us and we will have it deleted.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR and Turkish data protection law (KVKK) you can ask to access, correct or delete your data, object to processing, and complain to a regulator. We keep no accounts, so we do not know you by name. Write to the address above; for Analytics deletion, include the ID shown on the game's Settings page so we can find the records. You can complain to your local data protection authority (in Turkey, the Personal Data Protection Authority, KVKK).
9. Changes
If we change this policy, the new version is published on this page with a new date. Important changes are also announced in the game.
