Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This Privacy Policy explains how Hitmania Games Oyun ve Pazarlama Anonim Şirketi (“Hitmania Games”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, shares and protects information when you play our mobile games (the “Games”) or visit hitmania.games.
It applies to every Game we publish and to any app that links to this page. Not every practice described here applies to every Game: the “App Privacy” section of a Game’s App Store page and the “Data safety” section of its Google Play page show what that particular Game collects.
1. Who we are
The data controller responsible for your personal data is:
Hitmania Games Oyun ve Pazarlama Anonim Şirketi
Istanbul, Türkiye
Email: info@hitmania.games
Website: hitmania.games
2. Information we collect
Our Games do not have accounts, and we never ask for your name, email address, postal address or phone number. We do not store player data on our own servers: your progress and settings stay on your device. When you play, the SDKs built into the Game (see section 5) collect the information below.
Collected automatically when you play
- Device and app information: device model, operating system and version, language, time zone and app version.
- Identifiers: your IP address and identifiers created by the Game or its SDKs, such as a random installation ID or, on iOS, the Identifier for Vendors (IDFV). Our partners use them to count sessions, measure installs and prevent fraud.
- Advertising identifiers: Apple’s Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), only if you allow tracking, and Google’s Advertising ID on Android, unless you have deleted it.
- Approximate location: your country or region, derived from your IP address or device settings. We do not collect precise (GPS) location.
- Gameplay and usage data: sessions, levels started and completed, in-game events, settings and approximate play time.
- Attribution data: which ad or campaign led you to install the Game, and in-game events used to measure it, such as opening the Game or completing a level.
- Advertising data (in Games that show ads): which ads were requested, shown, clicked or watched to the end, and signals used to detect ad fraud.
- Crash and error reports: technical logs created when a Game crashes or runs into an error, including the state of the device at that moment.
Purchases
If a Game offers in-app purchases, Apple or Google process the payment, and we never receive your payment card or bank details. Our analytics and attribution partners may record that a purchase was made, with the item, price and currency.
Provided by you
If you email us, we receive your email address, your message and anything you attach, such as screenshots.
When you visit our website
hitmania.games does not use cookies, analytics or advertising tools. Our hosting provider processes technical data, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
3. How we use information
We use the information above to:
- run the Games and deliver any items you buy;
- understand how the Games are played so we can balance levels and make them better;
- find and fix crashes, bugs and performance problems;
- measure which marketing campaigns led to an install, and improve our campaigns on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram;
- in Games that show ads, show ads, measure how they perform and, where you have allowed it, personalise them;
- answer your questions and support requests;
- prevent fraud, keep the Games secure and comply with the law.
4. Legal bases for processing
Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or Türkiye’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) applies, we rely on these legal bases:
- Contract: to provide the Games you choose to play and any items you buy.
- Legitimate interests: to analyse and improve the Games, keep them secure, prevent fraud and show contextual (non-personalised) ads.
- Consent (explicit consent under KVKK where required): to use advertising identifiers for tracking, attribution and personalised ads.
- Legal obligation: to keep records and respond to authorities as the law requires.
You can withdraw your consent at any time (see sections 6 and 10). This does not affect processing that took place before you withdrew it.
5. Third-party services
Our Games include software development kits (SDKs) from the partners below. These SDKs collect the information described in section 2 directly from your device and process it under their own privacy policies. Our Games typically use GameAnalytics and the Meta SDK. Some Games may also use one or more of the other partners listed here.
Analytics and crash reporting
- GameAnalytics measures how the Games are played and reports errors. See the GameAnalytics Privacy Notice.
- Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics) measures usage and reports crashes. See Firebase Privacy and Security.
Marketing measurement and attribution
- Meta (Facebook) SDK measures the results of our ads on Facebook, Instagram and other Meta services, for example which ad led to an install. Meta may also use this information under its own policies, for example to improve and target ads. See the Meta Privacy Policy.
- AppsFlyer measures which campaigns lead to installs and in-game events. See the AppsFlyer Privacy Policy.
Advertising (in Games that show ads)
- Google AdMob shows and measures ads. See the Google Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
- AppLovin MAX shows ads and chooses between ad networks (mediation). See the AppLovin Privacy Policy.
- Unity Ads shows and measures ads. See the Unity Privacy Policy.
Website hosting
- Cloudflare hosts hitmania.games. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
If a Game shows ads through mediation, other advertising networks may also bid to show an ad and receive the advertising data described in section 2. You can ask us for the current list for a specific Game at info@hitmania.games.
6. Advertising and your choices
We promote our Games with ads on other platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, and some of our Games may show ads. This section explains how advertising identifiers are used and how you can control them.
Personalised and contextual ads
Personalised ads are chosen using your advertising identifier and your activity in other apps. Contextual ads are chosen only from general information, such as the Game you are playing, your approximate location and the current session. In Games that show ads, we show personalised ads only where your device settings allow it and, where the law requires it, you have given your consent.
Your consent
- iOS: we and our partners access the IDFA only if you tap “Allow” in the App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you do not, the IDFA is not shared.
- EEA, UK, Switzerland and Türkiye: where the law requires your consent to use advertising identifiers or to show personalised ads, we ask for it in the Game first, and you can withdraw it at any time.
- United States: you can opt out as described below and in section 10.
How to limit ad tracking
- iOS: Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking, and Settings › Privacy & Security › Apple Advertising.
- Android: Settings › Privacy › Ads (on some devices Settings › Google › Ads), then delete your advertising ID.
- Meta: if you use Facebook or Instagram, open Accounts Center and review “Your activity off Meta technologies” and “Ad preferences”.
- Google ads: My Ad Center.
- In the Game: the privacy option in the Game’s settings, where a Game offers one.
- By email: write to info@hitmania.games.
Opting out does not remove ads from Games that show them. You will still see ads, but they will be contextual rather than personalised.
Rewarded ads
If a Game offers rewarded ads, they are always optional. You decide whether to watch one in exchange for an in-game reward.
7. How we share information
We share information only as described in this policy:
- Service providers and partners: the companies listed in section 5, and Apple and Google for app distribution and payments. Service providers such as GameAnalytics may use the information only to provide their services to us. Meta and our advertising partners also use it as described in their own privacy policies.
- Legal reasons: when we must do so to comply with the law or a valid request from a public authority, or to protect the rights, property and safety of our players, Hitmania Games or others, including to prevent fraud.
- Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, information may be transferred to the new owner, and this policy will continue to apply to it.
We do not sell your personal information for money. However, sharing advertising identifiers with Meta and other advertising partners can count as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under some U.S. state laws. See section 10 for how to opt out.
8. International transfers
We are based in Türkiye, and our partners process information in other countries, including the European Union and the United States. When personal data is transferred abroad, we rely on the safeguards the law requires, such as standard contractual clauses and the transfer mechanisms set out in Article 9 of the KVKK.
9. How long we keep information
We do not keep player data on our own servers.
- Progress and settings: stored only on your device and deleted when you uninstall the Game.
- Analytics, attribution and advertising data: kept by the partners listed in section 5, according to their own retention policies.
- Purchase records: kept by Apple or Google under their own policies.
- Emails you send us: kept as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up.
10. Your rights
Under GDPR and KVKK
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- learn whether we process your personal data and get a copy of it;
- learn why it is processed and whether it is used for that purpose;
- learn the third parties, in Türkiye or abroad, to whom it is transferred;
- have inaccurate data corrected, and have the third parties who received it told about the correction;
- have your data deleted, and have those third parties told about the deletion;
- restrict or object to processing, including for direct marketing;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw your consent at any time;
- object to a decision against you that is based solely on automated processing, and claim compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.
U.S. state privacy rights
If you live in California or another U.S. state with a comprehensive privacy law, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to opt out of its “sale” or “sharing” for targeted advertising. To opt out, use the settings in section 6, or email us with the subject “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”. We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.
How to ask for your data to be deleted
Our Games have no accounts or player IDs, and we do not keep player data on our own servers. The data collected by our partners is linked only to random or device identifiers, so we usually cannot tell which data belongs to you. You can still email info@hitmania.games with the subject “Data deletion request” and the name of the Game. We will reply within 30 days and help as far as we can, including by passing your request on to the relevant partners.
You can also act directly:
- uninstall the Game, which deletes the data stored on your device and stops further collection;
- delete or reset your advertising ID (see section 6), which breaks the link to data tied to the old ID;
- if you use Facebook or Instagram, disconnect activity from our Games under “Your activity off Meta technologies” in Meta’s Accounts Center.
Complaints
You can also complain to a data protection authority: in the EU or UK, the authority in your country; in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Board.
11. Children’s privacy
Our Games are casual hybrid puzzle games made for a general audience. They are not directed at children under 13, or under the older age that applies where you live (up to 16 in some EEA countries), and they do not ask for your age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, contact us at info@hitmania.games and we will promptly delete it or ask our partners to delete it.
12. Security
Data collected by our Games is sent to our partners over encrypted connections, access to their dashboards is limited to the team members who need it, and we choose partners that follow recognised security standards. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Links to other sites
Ads and links in our Games may take you to other websites or app store pages. Their owners decide how they handle your information, so please read their privacy policies.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and change the “Last updated” date above. If the changes are significant, we will also tell you in the Games.
15. Contact us
