Thank you for playing our games! This Privacy Policy describes:
This Privacy Policy applies to Snake Yarn Jam and other games published by Orka Games, and to the website orka-games.github.io, which we here collectively call the Service. We may periodically update this Privacy Policy by posting a new version on orka-games.github.io. If we make any material changes, we will notify you as required under applicable law, including by posting a notice in the Service before the change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date will be subject to the new Privacy Policy.
If you have questions about data protection, or if you have any requests for resolving issues with your personal data, you can contact us at games.orka@gmail.com. Orka Games is run by an individual developer, Orhan Kırcı, who is the controller of your personal data.
The categories of personal data we collect depend on how you use the Service and the requirements of applicable law. The Service does not require you to create an account.
We do not collect your name, phone number, contacts, photos, microphone recordings or precise location. The Service has no chat, player profiles or social login.
We use your data for the following purposes:
To perform the contract, we process data necessary to:
We have a legitimate interest to process necessary data to:
The Service shows ads, including optional ads you can choose to watch for a reward. To show, measure and improve ads, we and our advertising partner process necessary data. Personalized advertisements are shown only with your consent where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland); otherwise we rely on our legitimate interest. For information on how to opt out of personalized advertisements, see “Your Rights and Options” below.
To fight fraud, we have a legitimate interest to process necessary data to detect invalid purchases, refund abuse and invalid ad traffic, and take action against them.
With your consent, we may process your data for additional purposes.
Apart from us, your data can be accessed by others in the following situations:
The Service has no social features, so other players cannot see your data.
We have service providers who help us provide the Service. They process your data to provide the Service and operate under their own privacy policies:
If Android backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may also include your game data in your device backup so it can be restored on a new device. Google stores and manages that backup. On iPhone, an iCloud or computer backup of your device may include your game data in the same way; Apple stores and manages an iCloud backup.
In order to verify payments and combat fraud and illegal activity, we may process and disclose data with payment providers and other companies, and provide it to public authorities in response to lawful requests. We may also disclose your data based on your consent, to comply with the law or to protect the rights, property or safety of us, our players or others.
The Service includes in-game advertising provided through Google AdMob. Google and the advertisers it works with may access data regarding your device and your activity in the Service (such as your IP address, advertising ID, time of day and ad interactions) and may use it, together with similar data collected from other services, to show you ads based on your interests. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising”. If you prefer not to receive interest-based advertising, follow the instructions in “Your Rights and Options” below.
We do not sell your personal data.
Our Service is global by nature and your data can therefore be processed by our service providers in other countries, including the United States. Because different countries may have different data protection laws than your own country, our service providers use appropriate safeguards to protect your data, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and other lawful safeguards.
We do not send marketing emails or push notifications.
You can opt out of interest-based advertising by changing your ad privacy choices in the game’s settings where that option is shown (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), and by deleting or resetting your advertising ID in your device’s ad settings (for example Settings > Google > Ads, or Settings > Privacy > Ads, depending on your device). On iPhone, the game asks for your permission before your advertising ID is used for tracking; you can change that choice at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
If you request, we will provide you a copy of the personal data we hold about you in an electronic format.
You also have the right to correct your data, have your data deleted, object to how we use or share your data, and restrict how we use or share your data. You can always withdraw your consent. You can delete all game data stored on your device at any time by uninstalling the game or, on Android, clearing its data in your device settings.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, contact us as described in “Contact Us” above. We will respond to all requests within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law. Because the Service has no accounts, we may ask you to provide your Google Play order number (GPA.xxxx) to find records related to your purchases and to verify your request. You may also designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights on your behalf, as permitted by applicable law.
If you have an unresolved privacy concern, you may contact your local data protection authority, for example in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or in Türkiye the Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK).
You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment as a result of exercising these rights.
We do not use cookies in our games or on this website. Our advertising partner uses mobile identifiers (such as the advertising ID and app set ID) and similar technologies to show ads, measure their performance, limit how often you see the same ad, and prevent fraud. Our analytics provider stores a random app instance ID on your device to count gameplay statistics; it does not use your advertising ID. These partners operate under their own privacy policies.
Data sent by the Service to our service providers is encrypted in transit. Game data stored on your device is protected by your device’s security. We take reasonable measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse or alteration.
Game data on your device is kept until you uninstall the game or clear its data. Gameplay statistics are kept by our analytics provider for up to 14 months and then deleted automatically. Our other service providers retain data according to their own retention policies. We keep support emails only as long as needed to handle your request. If you ask us to remove your personal data, we may still retain data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations (such as keeping purchase records), resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
Protecting children’s privacy online is very important to us. Our Service is not directed to children under 13 (or other age as required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, you may contact us as described above. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, we will delete it unless we have a legal obligation to keep it.
This section is the disclosure required by Article 10 of the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (“KVKK”), made by the data controller named in “Contact Us”.
Your personal data is collected electronically and automatically through the game and the third-party software development kits (SDKs) in it, or through the emails you send us, and is processed for the purposes described above on the following legal grounds:
For the purposes above, your personal data may be transferred to Google, RevenueCat and GitHub, listed under “Our service providers”. These providers may process data abroad; such transfers are made in accordance with Article 9 of the KVKK.
You have the right to learn whether your personal data is processed; to request information if it is; to learn the purpose of the processing and whether the data is used accordingly; to know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom it is transferred; to request correction if it is incomplete or inaccurate; to request its deletion or destruction under Article 7 of the KVKK; to request that these actions be notified to third parties to whom the data was transferred; to object to a result against you arising solely from automated analysis; and to claim compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.
You can send your requests to games.orka@gmail.com. Requests are answered free of charge within 30 days at the latest.
