Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-11-04
This privacy policy applies to the Scoundrel: The Card Game app for mobile devices (the "Application"), developed by Koray Samet Küçükbayraktar (the "Developer").
Summary
- The Developer does not operate servers and does not collect your personal data directly.
- Your game progress, scores and settings are stored only on your device.
- The Application offers optional rewarded ads through Google AdMob. Google collects some data to serve and measure those ads, as described below.
Data Stored on Your Device
High scores, settings, saved runs and tutorial progress are stored locally on your device. This data is never sent to the Developer and is deleted when you uninstall the Application.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The Application offers an optional rewarded ad that lets you revive during a run. An ad is only requested when you choose to watch one. To serve and measure ads, Google AdMob may collect:
- Your IP address, and an approximate location derived from it
- Device and operating system information (such as device model, OS version and language)
- Your device's advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking
- Ad interactions, such as impressions, views and clicks
- Crash and performance diagnostics related to ads
Google uses this data to deliver ads, personalize them where you have allowed it, measure ad performance and prevent fraud. Google's handling of this data is governed by its own policies:
Location
The Application does not request access to your device's location and does not use GPS or precise location. Google AdMob may estimate your approximate location from your IP address for the purposes described above.
Your Choices
- Tracking on iOS: The Application may ask for permission to track you through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, your advertising identifier is not shared, and ads may be less relevant. You can change this at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- EEA, UK and Switzerland: You are asked for consent through Google's consent tool before ads are personalized. You can review or change your choice at any time in the game's Settings → Ad Privacy.
- Not watching ads: Ads are optional. If you never choose to watch one, no ad is requested.
- Uninstalling: Uninstalling the Application stops all further data collection.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Google AdMob SDK may use device identifiers and similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. Where required by law, consent is obtained before non-essential technologies are used.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Because the Developer does not hold your personal data, requests about advertising data are handled by Google. The Developer is happy to help you with any request: contact kbayraktarsamet@gmail.com.
California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request its deletion, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. The Developer does not sell personal information. Sharing data with Google AdMob for personalized advertising may count as "sharing" under California law; you can opt out by declining tracking on iOS as described above. To exercise your rights, contact kbayraktarsamet@gmail.com.
International Data Transfers
Google may process data in countries other than your own, including outside the European Economic Area. Where required, such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
Data Retention
The Developer does not retain any personal data. Data stored on your device remains until you uninstall the Application. Data collected by Google AdMob is retained according to Google's policies.
Children
The Application is not directed at children under 16 years of age, or a higher age where required by applicable law, and the Developer does not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child's data has been collected through ads in the Application, please contact kbayraktarsamet@gmail.com, and the Developer will work with Google to have it deleted.
Changes to This Policy
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Where required by law, your consent will be requested before material changes take effect.
