3. Separate product privacy policies
Visiting a product webpage is different from using the app. The links below explain each product’s data types, service providers, retention and deletion. This website notice does not replace in-app advertising or microphone permissions.
Almost in Orbit
The policy for the paid, ad-free release describes on-device saves, store payments and Unity engine technical diagnostics. That scope does not automatically cover a future release using different SDKs. Almost in Orbit privacy policy.
Pixel Art Collect
The product policy describes player identity and authentication, optional Apple account linking, purchase validation and a cloud wallet, Google AdMob ads and related technical data. Anonymous sign-in still creates a player identifier; it does not mean no data is processed.
Account deletion is available in Settings › Player account › Delete account. Some transaction records remain for duplicate-use prevention and refunds after account deletion; see the retention explanation in the product policy. Pixel Art Collect privacy policy.
Tempo
Tempo’s product policy explains that BPM and time-signature settings stay on Apple Watch and are not sent to the developer. If you email us, the support section of this notice applies. Tempo privacy policy.
Tuner Pro Studio
Microphone audio is processed in device memory to detect pitch and tuning; no audio file is created and audio is not sent to a server. Settings stay on the device. Microphone access can be managed in device settings. Tuner Pro Studio privacy policy.
4. Recipients and purposes of disclosure
- Vercel: processes connection information to host the website, deliver pages and files, and operate infrastructure security.
- Email service provider: processes correspondence to deliver and store messages and send replies.
- Competent authorities and recipients needed to protect a right: only to the extent necessary to comply with an applicable legal obligation or establish, exercise or protect a right.
Recipients and purposes for in-app Google/Firebase/AdMob, Apple and Unity services are described separately in the relevant product policy. An external app store also receives connection information through its own systems when you open its link.
Services outside Türkiye
Using services with infrastructure outside Türkiye, such as Vercel, involves processing connection information outside Türkiye. The foreign service providers described for each product must also be considered separately. Transfers from Türkiye are subject to the conditions in Article 9 of the KVKK. Dismissing the cookie notice is neither consent nor an appropriate safeguard for such a transfer.
You can request information about the recipients of your data and the relevant processing through the contact channel below.
5. Retention
The browser notice preference has a 180-day lifetime, as explained on the cookie page. For support correspondence, relevant factors include the nature of the request, any need for follow-up, applicable legal obligations and the period needed to protect a right. Sending a message does not mean the email is automatically deleted as soon as a request is closed.
Hosting technical records and product account, transaction and advertising records have different retention arrangements. There is no single period or blanket promise of immediate deletion for all of them. You can contact us about the retention or deletion of a particular record.
6. Your rights under the KVKK
Under Article 11 of the Law, you may:
- Learn whether your personal data is processed and request information about it.
- Learn the purpose, whether data is used in line with it, and recipients in Türkiye or abroad.
- Request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data, and deletion or destruction when the legal conditions are met.
- Request notification of those corrections, deletions or destruction to third parties who received the data.
- Object to a result against you arising from analysis exclusively through automated systems.
- Seek compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.
How to make a request
Send your request to salih@simpleideas.net with the subject “KVKK request”. Identify the product or correspondence concerned and explain your request. We may ask for only the information needed to verify that it is your request and locate the relevant record. Other application methods provided by the Law and the applicable communiqué remain available.
Requests are resolved as soon as possible and within 30 days. They are generally free; where an additional cost arises, the tariff set by the Board may apply. You may also complain to the Personal Data Protection Board in accordance with the Law’s application requirements.
7. Changes and official sources
This notice and its date are updated when website or support processing purposes change. A previous “Got it” acknowledgment cannot be used as explicit consent for a new optional tracking service.
