This Privacy Policy explains how your information is handled when you download and play the Tikir Blast mobile game (the "Application", the "Game"). In short: the game requires no account and sends no data to our servers; your progress stays only on your device. The ads in the game are served by Google AdMob, which collects some data from your device to do so (see section 3.1). By using the Application you are deemed to accept this policy.

1. Data We Collect
1.1 Data stored locally on your device
Game progress is stored only on your device and is never sent to any server:
- Best scores, Daily Tikir results and streak
- Amount of gold, bakery repairs, wardrobe (purchased and selected hats and colors)
- Recipe book, neighbors' heart levels, letters read and seasonal showcase progress
- The name you give your bakery (optional; shown only on the sign, the share card and in-game texts)
- Whether notification permission has been asked
- Language choice; sound, music and notification settings
We cannot access this data. Uninstalling the application deletes all local data.
1.2 Automatically collected data
We send no data to our own servers. Google AdMob, which shows the ads in the game, may collect the following from your device to serve ads, measure ad performance and prevent abuse:
- Advertising ID (GAID)
- Device model, operating system version, language and similar device information
- IP address (to determine approximate country/region)
- Ad interactions (impressions, clicks, completed views)
- Crash and performance information of the ad SDK
To improve the game we use Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (see section 3.4). They collect:
- In-game events: game mode start and end, duration, score, how a run was continued (gold or ad), gold earned and spent
- Firebase app instance ID and device information (model, OS version, language)
- Approximate location (country/city level, from the IP address)
- Crash reports: where the error happened, device state and the game steps just before the crash
This data is not linked to your name, email or any other personal information.
1.3 Data we do not collect
- Personal information such as name, surname, email or phone number (the name you give your bakery never leaves the device)
- Camera, microphone, location (GPS), contacts, gallery
- Login / account information (the game does not require an account)
- Payment information (the game has no real-money purchases)
2. Permissions
The application includes the following Android permissions:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| VIBRATE | Haptic feedback when blocks are placed, rows are blasted and the board fills up. |
| POST_NOTIFICATIONS | Local reminders for the daily puzzle, your streak and your neighbors. Notifications are scheduled on your device, not sent from a server; permission is asked after your first game and they can be turned off in the settings. |
| INTERNET | Loading and showing ads, sending analytics and crash reports. The game itself can be played offline; without a connection only the ads are not shown. |
| ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Added by the Google AdMob SDK to check for a connection before loading an ad. |
| AD_ID (Advertising ID) | Added by the Google AdMob SDK; required to access the advertising ID. |
3. Third-Party Services
Each of the services below is subject to its own privacy policy.
3.1 Google AdMob (advertising)
The game has two kinds of ads: a rewarded ad you can choose to watch (to continue where you left off when the board fills up, or to double the gold you earned at the end of a game), and an interstitial ad shown now and then between games. Interstitials are not shown after the first game and are limited in frequency.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the game shows a consent form through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP). You can refuse personalised ads there; if you do, ads continue to be shown without personalisation. You can change your decision later with the Privacy options button in the settings menu.
You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or turn off personalised ads, in your device settings. Google Privacy Policy · Google Advertising Technologies
3.2 Google Play
The game is distributed through Google Play. Data collected by Google during download, updates and store transactions is subject to Google's own privacy policy; we do not access that data.
3.3 Purchases
The game currently has no real-money purchases; hats, colors and bakery items are unlocked only with in-game gold earned by playing. If in-app purchases are added in the future, this policy will be updated before the version containing that feature is released.
3.4 Google Firebase (analytics and crash reports)
Firebase Analytics lets us see, in aggregate, which parts of the game feel too hard, where players stop playing and how often ads are watched. Firebase Crashlytics sends a crash report when the game crashes so that we can find and fix the bug. The data is processed on Google's servers; we only see aggregated reports. Analytics data is kept by Google for at most 14 months.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, analytics data is processed according to the choice you made in the consent form described in section 3.1. Firebase Privacy and Security
3.5 Sharing
When you choose to share your result, the game creates an image and a short text and opens Android's share menu. You decide what to send, with which app and to whom; this content is not sent to us. The image is kept only in the device's temporary cache for sharing.
4. Children's Privacy
Our application is not specifically directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from users under 13. Ads are served under Google AdMob's rules. Parents can send questions to getawayrush@atalaryazilim.com.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
- Local data: fully deleted when you uninstall the application. To delete it without uninstalling, use Android Settings → Apps → Tikir Blast → Storage → Clear data.
- Server data: we keep no record about you on our servers.
- Analytics and crash data: stored in Google Firebase (analytics for at most 14 months, crash reports for 90 days). To request deletion, write to getawayrush@atalaryazilim.com.
- Advertising data: subject to Google's own retention policies. You can reset or delete your advertising ID under Android Settings → Google → Ads.
6. User Rights (GDPR / KVKK)
If you are in the European Union or Türkiye, you have the right to:
- Request access to your data
- Request correction of your data
- Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
- Object to data processing
We hold no record about you; you can also exercise your rights regarding advertising data with Google. For any request, contact us at getawayrush@atalaryazilim.com; requests are answered within 30 days at the latest.
7. Data Security
Local data is kept unencrypted as Unity PlayerPrefs in the application's
private storage on the device. Only the application itself can access this area (Android
app sandbox). All network traffic of the ad SDK is encrypted with HTTPS.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If there is a significant change, we will inform you through an in-app notice or the Play Store description. The effective date of the current version is shown at the top of this page.
