Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Tintera's developer (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you play the Tinteramobile game (“the App”) on iOS and Android. By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

2. Scope

The App is fully playable without creating an account. It optionally offers Sign in with Apple and Sign in with Google so you can save your progress to the cloud and continue on another device. This Policy covers both the account-free experience and the optional signed-in experience.

3. Information We Collect

Playing the App without signing in does not require your name, email address, or other directly-identifying information. We collect the following categories of information:

• Device and advertising identifiers — such as your device's advertising ID (IDFA on iOS, GAID on Android), used to serve and measure rewarded video ads through Google AdMob.
• Crash and diagnostic logs — technical information collected automatically when the App crashes or encounters an error, used to identify and fix bugs (Google Firebase Crashlytics).
• Gameplay analytics events — aggregated events describing how the App is used (for example, when a level starts, is completed, or is failed; when a booster is used) via Google Firebase Analytics.
• Account information (only if you choose to sign in) — if you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive a unique account identifier and whatever name/email Apple or Google shares with the App under your control at sign-in. You separately choose a display username inside the App, which is not required to match your real name.
• Cloud-synced game data (only if you choose to sign in) — your level and star progress, Gems balance, booster inventory, and daily/weekly quest state are stored in Google Firestore, associated with your account, so your progress can follow you across devices.

4. How We Use Information, and Our Legal Basis

We use the information above to diagnose and fix crashes, understand and improve gameplay balance, serve rewarded ads, and — only if you sign in — keep your progress saved and synced across your devices. This processing relies on our legitimate interest in operating and improving the App, your consent where required (particularly for ad personalization and for choosing to sign in), and the performance of the App's core functionality. We do not sell your data and do not use it to profile you outside the App.

5. Third-Party Services and SDKs

The App uses the following third-party services, each of which is subject to its own independent privacy policy — we do not have direct control over these third-party providers:

• Google Firebase — Analytics, Crashlytics, Authentication (Apple/Google Sign-In), and Firestore (cloud data storage for signed-in players).
• Google AdMob— rewarded video ad serving. Ad units are currently Google's own published test units; production ad units are pending.
• Apple Sign-In / Google Sign-In — used only if you choose to sign in, to authenticate you and let you save progress to the cloud.

6. International Data Transfer

The services listed in Section 5 may process data on server infrastructure located around the world, so your information may be transferred outside your country of residence. Such transfers rely on the relevant provider's own standard contractual clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism.

7. Data Retention

Analytics and crash data are retained for the relevant SDK provider's default retention period, after which it is deleted or aggregated. If you sign in, your cloud-synced account data (Section 3) is retained until you delete your account or request deletion via support@playtintera.com. If you never sign in, no cloud account data exists to retain.

8. Advertising and Personalization

The App currently shows rewarded video ads (an optional, player-initiated way to earn in-game rewards) via Google AdMob, using Google's own published test ad units at this time. On iOS, ad personalization is controlled through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt; on Android, through your device's advertising settings.

9. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of your data under applicable law (for example KVKK in Türkiye or the GDPR in the European Economic Area). You can exercise these rights, or request deletion of your account and cloud-synced data, by contacting us at support@playtintera.com; we will respond within a reasonable time. Unresolved requests may be brought to your local data protection authority.

10. Children's Privacy

Tinterais designed for a general audience and is not directed specifically at children; we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, please use the App, and any sign-in or purchase feature, under a parent or guardian's supervision — the App Store's / Google Play's own parental control settings are a good starting point. Contact support@playtintera.com with any concerns.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time; updates take effect as soon as they are posted on this page, and the effective date above will be updated accordingly.
