Privacy Policy

Match & Brew (the "App") is a mobile puzzle game developed by Umutcan Gürel. This policy explains what data is processed when you use the App, why, and what rights you have. Effective date: November 1, 2026.

1. Data controller and contact

The data controller is Umutcan Gürel. For any privacy question or request, write to umutcan.grl2026@gmail.com.

2. Data we process

The App does not ask you to create an account or to provide your name, email, phone number, location, contacts, photos or microphone access.

Your game progress (level stars, Beans, booster counts, cup status, settings and language choice) is stored in your device's local storage and is not sent to our servers. Uninstalling the App deletes it. If you are signed in to Google Play Games (optional), the same progress is also backed up to the Play Games save area of your Google account so you can restore it when you change phones or reinstall the game; we cannot access this backup.

The following service providers may process limited technical data for the App's advertising, purchase, analytics and crash reporting features:

  • Advertising (Google AdMob): advertising ID, IP address, device model and OS version, ad interaction information. Ads are limited to optional rewarded ads and occasional interstitials; there are no banner ads.
  • In-app purchases (Google Play Billing and RevenueCat): an anonymous user ID, product ID and transaction information to verify purchases. Your card and payment details never reach us; they are handled by Google Play.
  • Usage analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase): game events such as level start/complete/fail and booster use under an anonymous app instance ID, plus device model, OS version, language and approximate country/region derived from the IP address. The advertising ID is not used for analytics. The purpose is to balance and improve the game.
  • Crash reporting (Sentry): crash and error logs, device model, OS version and app version. No personal content is collected.
  • Cloud save (Google Play Games, optional): if you are signed in to Play Games, your game progress is stored in your Google account and your Play Games player ID is processed by Google. Backing up and restoring are managed in the game under Settings → Cloud save.
  • Leaderboards and achievements (Google Play Games, optional): if you are signed in to Play Games, the sum of your best level scores and your Daily Barista Challenge score are sent to Google Play Games leaderboards; your Play Games player name and score are visible to other players there. You can manage this visibility in your Play Games profile settings.

4. Purposes and legal bases

We process data for these purposes and on these legal bases:

  • Providing the game and fulfilling your purchases: performance of a contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b); Turkish KVKK Art. 5(2)(c)).
  • Debugging, security and analytics to improve the game: legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f); KVKK Art. 5(2)(f)).
  • Personalized ads and related identifiers: your explicit consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a); KVKK Art. 5(1)).
  • Legal obligations: compliance with a legal obligation (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c); KVKK Art. 5(2)(ç)).

5. Retention

Game data on your device stays there until you delete it or uninstall the App; your Google Play Games cloud backup stays in your Google account until you delete it in your Play Games settings. Technical data held by our service providers is kept according to their policies and only as long as needed for the purpose; analytics and crash logs are deleted or anonymized after a reasonable period.

6. Sharing and international transfers

We do not sell your data. Data is shared only with the service providers listed above, to deliver the relevant feature. These providers (Google: AdMob, Play Billing, Play Games and Firebase; RevenueCat; Sentry) may process data outside Turkey, for example in the European Union or the United States; transfers rely on the safeguards required by applicable law (for example standard contractual clauses).

Provider privacy policies: Google (policies.google.com/privacy), RevenueCat (revenuecat.com/privacy), Sentry (sentry.io/privacy).

7. Children

The App is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe data of a child under 13 has been processed, tell us at umutcan.grl2026@gmail.com and we will delete it. We recommend that users aged 13-18 use the App under the supervision of a parent or guardian.

8. Your rights

Under applicable law (GDPR Art. 15-22, KVKK Art. 11) you have the right to learn whether your data is processed, request information, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, port your data, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Turkey, the Personal Data Protection Authority; in the EU, your local data protection authority).

Send requests to umutcan.grl2026@gmail.com; we reply within 30 days. Because game data stored locally on your device never reaches us, uninstalling the App is enough to delete it.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We will announce significant changes in the App or on the store page. The current version is always published on this page; its effective date appears at the top.
