Halk Pazarı Privacy Policy
Halk Pazarı is a fruit and vegetable market game developed by Global Media. This page explains which data the iOS version on the App Store processes and why.
Guest player
When you open the game, our server (halkpazari.gmgaming.app) gives you a random guest player ID and a session token. No name, email or phone number is asked for. The session token is valid for 90 days from its last use and is extended whenever you play; the server keeps only a hash of it, not the token itself.
What other players see
Other players' stalls appear in the market. For this, the following is sent to the server and shown to players in the same market:
- The name you give your stall. We recommend not using your real name. Offensive names are not accepted and are shown to others as "Tezgâh #NN".
- Your level, the products on your stall, your stall's look (awning, cooler, helper, manager) and your place in the market.
- Whether you are currently in the game.
Your cash, stock, loans and ledger are not shown to other players.
Linking Apple or Google (optional)
If you want, you can link your guest account by choosing Apple ile devam et (Continue with Apple) or Google ile devam et (Continue with Google) from the account icon. On iPhone, Apple sign-in uses Apple's own sheet and Google sign-in a secure Google page shown inside the app; on Android sign-in happens in the browser and you then return to the game. Linking is optional; the game is fully playable as a guest.
When you link, we store:
- The account identifier Apple or Google gives us for you.
- Your email address. If you choose "Hide My Email" with Apple, we only receive Apple's private relay address.
- If you link with Apple, the refresh token Apple issues. It is stored encrypted and used only to revoke the Apple connection when you delete your account.
We do not store your name or profile picture. We do not show your email address to other players and do not use it for ads or newsletters.
Cloud save
Your game progress (cash, stock, level, stalls, ledger) is kept on the device and, a few seconds after each change, on our server as a private record of your guest ID or linked account. With a linked account, the game opens where you left off after reinstalling or on a new phone once you sign in with the same account. A guest save can only be opened by that device's session; if the app is deleted, a guest save cannot be reached again.
Ayarlar > Sil ve baştan başla (Settings > Delete and start over) restarts the game on this device and on the server and releases your stall; your 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.
Reporting and blocking
If you see a stall with an offensive name, you can report it by tapping the stall or from Settings > Stall reports and blocks. A report sends: your player ID, the reported stall's player ID and number, the name you saw, the reason you chose and the date. If the server cannot be reached, the game opens an email draft with the same details to info@globalmedia.com.tr; if you send it, we also see your email address.
Reports are used only to review abuse and are reviewed within 24 hours. A name reported by several players is hidden in the market until it is reviewed. When you block a stall, its name is hidden only on your device; the block list stays on the device and is not sent to the server.
Ads and tracking
The iOS version has no ads, in-app purchases, analytics or crash-reporting tools. The game does not track you across other apps and websites and does not access the advertising identifier. It does not ask for location, contacts, camera, microphone or photos. In-game money and loans are virtual.
Notifications
On iOS, if you allow it, the game shows a single local reminder when you have not played for a day. It is scheduled on the device; nothing is sent to our server.
Server, IP address and access logs
Our servers run in Hetzner's data center in Germany (European Union) and connections are encrypted with HTTPS. The game server does not write your IP address to its database; it uses it only for short-lived 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
Your account and game data stay on the server until you ask for deletion. Daily database backups are kept for at most 30 days; deleted data leaves the backups at the end of that period.
- Linked account: In the game, account icon or Settings > Hesabımı sil (Delete my account) > Hesabımı kalıcı sil (Permanently delete). Your account, linked Apple/Google identity and email address, cloud save, stall places and stall name, sessions and report records are deleted. If you linked with Apple, the Apple connection is revoked as well.
- Guest player: Email info@globalmedia.com.tr with your in-game stall name; we delete your data on the server within 30 days.
- Deleting the app removes the game save on the device.
