Akaryakıt Krallığı Privacy Policy
This page explains in plain words what the game Akaryakıt Krallığı does with personal data.
In short
- When you open the game, our server gives you a random guest ID; no name, email or phone number is asked for.
- Your game save is kept on your device and automatically on our server, as a private save of your own. Other players cannot see it.
- If you like, you can continue with Apple or Google; then you keep playing where you left off on a new phone or after reinstalling the game. This is optional.
- There are no ads, no analytics, no in-app purchases and no tracking.
- You can delete your account inside the game.
Guest player
When you first open the game, our server creates a random guest player ID and a session key. The guest record contains no name, email or device identifier; the name you give your station is not used as the guest ID. The session key is valid for 90 days after its last use and is extended as you play; the server keeps only a hash of the key, not the key itself.
Cloud save
Your game save (cash, stock, prices, buildings, the name you gave your station, your settings and in-game statistics) is kept on your device and, a few seconds after each change, on our server. To tell which copy is further along, the save is stored together with the game day, liters sold, number of customers and the save time. The save belongs only to you and is never shown to other players; the game has no content that other players can see.
If you continued with Apple or Google, your station opens by itself when you reinstall the game or sign in with the same account on a new phone. A guest save can only be opened by the session on that device; if the app is deleted, the guest save can no longer be reached.
Ayarlar > Sil ve baştan başla (Settings > Delete and start over) resets your station on this device and on the server; other devices on the same account switch to the new game when they open. Ayarlar > Çıkış yap (Sign out) ends the session on this device; your account and cloud save stay.
Continuing with Apple or Google (optional)
In Ayarlar > Hesap ve bulut kaydı (Settings > Account and cloud save) you can choose Apple ile devam et (Continue with Apple) or Google ile devam et (Continue with Google). On iPhone, Apple sign-in happens in Apple's own sheet and Google sign-in in a secure Google page opened inside the game; on Android, Google sign-in happens in the browser and you then return to the game. When you link an account we store:
- The account ID that Apple or Google gives for your account.
- Your email address. If you choose "Hide My Email" with Apple, we only receive Apple's private relay address.
- If you linked with Apple, the refresh token Apple gives us. It is stored encrypted and is only used to revoke the link at Apple when you delete your account.
We do not store your name or profile picture. We never show your email address to anyone and never use it for ads or newsletters.
Data we do not collect
- Phone number, address or contacts
- Location, photos, camera or microphone data
- Advertising identifier or device identifier
- Usage statistics, analytics or crash reports
The game has no ads, no analytics tools, no in-app purchases and no tracking. The game does not track you across other apps and websites. The in-game "Reklam" (advertising) setting is a virtual expense paid with game money; it does not show real ads.
Information stored on your device
- The game save, and a backup copy taken before a cloud save is opened (when a further game from the cloud is opened, the game on the device is backed up)
- Session details: guest or account ID, session key and sync status
- Reminder settings: the reminder text, its timing and the status of the notification permission
Deleting the game also deletes this information from your device. If iCloud or computer backup is turned on, it may be included in that backup through Apple's own system; we have no access to these backups.
Reminder notification
After the guide is finished and you have served your first customer, iOS asks for permission to send notifications. If you allow it, your device itself shows a single reminder 24 hours after you leave the game, and the reminder is removed when you open the game again. The notification is scheduled entirely on your device; nothing is sent to our server and no push service is used. You can turn it off at any time in iPhone Settings > Notifications.
Server, IP address and access logs
The game's server part runs at halkpazari.gmgaming.app in Hetzner's data center in Germany (European Union); connections are encrypted with HTTPS. Akaryakıt Krallığı data is kept in a database separate from the other games on the same server. The game server does not write your IP address to its database; it only uses it briefly for rate limiting against abuse. The web server in front of it keeps standard access logs (IP address, date and time, requested address) for security and troubleshooting.
We do not sell this data, do not use it for ads or tracking and do not share it with third parties.
Retention and deletion
Account and game data stay on the server until you ask for them to be deleted. Daily database backups are kept for at most 30 days; deleted data leaves the backups after that period.
- Linked account: In the game, Ayarlar > Hesap ve bulut kaydı > Hesabı sil (Settings > Account and cloud save > Delete account) and two confirmations. Your account, the linked Apple/Google ID and email address, your cloud save and your sessions are deleted. If you linked with Apple, the link at Apple is revoked as well. The game on this device continues as a guest.
- Guest player: A guest record contains no name or email. If you want it deleted, continue with Apple or Google and use Hesabı sil (Delete account), or write to info@globalmedia.com.tr.
- Deleting the app deletes the game save on your device.
Children
The game is meant for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
Changes to this policy are published on this page with a new date, and the privacy details on the App Store are updated too.
