Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2026

This policy explains what data is processed when you use the mobile apps and games developed by Ya Kreatif (“Ya Kreatif”, “we”) and the yakreatif.com website (together, the “Services”), why it is processed, and what rights you have.

In short

Data controller and scope

Your personal data is processed by Ya Kreatif as the data controller under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy covers Namaz Vaktim, Word Ocean (Kelime Okyanusu), all other apps and games we publish, and yakreatif.com. Contact: hello@yakreatif.com

All of our apps store your settings and progress on your device. We update this table whenever we add a new service to an app.

Data we process

Data stored on your device

Settings, preferences, game progress such as levels and scores, and information such as the location you select are kept in your device's local storage. This data is not sent to us and is deleted when you delete the app.

Location (Namaz Vaktim only)

If you allow it, Namaz Vaktim uses your device's location to show prayer times, the Qibla direction and nearby mosques. To do this, your location (latitude and longitude) is sent as a request to the prayer time and map services listed below; we do not store your location on our own servers. Your location is converted into a city and district name by your device's operating system location services (Apple or Google). You can turn off location permission at any time in your device settings; location-based features may then stop working.

Notifications (Namaz Vaktim)

Adhan and prayer time reminders are scheduled locally on your device. We do not register your device on a server to send notifications.

Advertising data (Namaz Vaktim, Word Ocean)

These apps show ads through Google AdMob. AdMob processes your advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, advertising ID on Android), IP address, device and app information and ad interactions in order to serve and measure ads, prevent fraud and, if you have allowed it, personalise ads. On iOS, the advertising identifier is accessed only if you grant App Tracking Transparency permission; otherwise ads are shown without it. Where consent is required (for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom), the game asks for your ad choices at first launch; in Word Ocean you can change them under Settings › Privacy Options. You can read how Google uses this data here.

Analytics data (Namaz Vaktim, Word Ocean)

We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand and improve how the app is used. Firebase collects the app instance ID, device model, operating system, app version, language, approximate location derived from your IP address (country or city level) and usage events such as screen views. We do not use this data to identify you personally.

Purchases and subscriptions (Namaz Vaktim, Word Ocean)

Payments are processed by the Apple App Store and Google Play. We never see your card or payment details; we only receive confirmation from the store of whether a purchase or subscription is valid and use it to unlock the relevant feature.

When you contact us

When you email us, we use your email address and message only to answer your request and provide support.

Website

yakreatif.com does not use cookies or visitor analytics. Our hosting provider may keep technical logs such as IP address, browser type and request time to operate the site securely. Because the font is loaded from Google Fonts, your browser sends a request to Google. See our Cookies Policy for details.

Third-party services we use

Why we process data

Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. Data is shared only with the service providers listed above, and only as far as needed for their services. Beyond that, it may be shared with competent authorities when legally required, or with the parties involved if Ya Kreatif is part of a merger or transfer, provided the protections in this policy are maintained.

International transfers

Service providers such as Google and Apple may process data on servers outside Turkey. These providers apply the safeguards described in their own privacy policies for international data transfers.

Retention

Data on your device is kept until you delete the app or clear its data. Support emails are kept for as long as needed after your request is resolved and then deleted. Data held by third-party services is subject to each provider's own retention rules.

Children's privacy

Our Services are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children of that age. If you believe your child has sent us personal data, email hello@yakreatif.com and we will delete it.

Your rights

Under Article 11 of the KVKK and, where applicable, the GDPR, you have the right to learn whether your data is processed, to access it, to request its correction or deletion, to object to its processing, to withdraw your consent and to learn which third parties it was shared with. Send your requests to hello@yakreatif.com; we will reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can contact the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority or, if you live in the European Union, the data protection authority in your country.

Controls on your device

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data, and our apps communicate with the services they use over encrypted connections (HTTPS). However, no transmission or storage over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our Services change. The current version is always published on this page and the “Last updated” date at the top changes. We will also announce significant changes in the app or on this page.
