Bolt & Breath · Effective date: 27 September 2026
The data controller for this app is the independent developer who publishes it, Mehmet Ali Dengiş. For any request or question about your personal data, contact: mealidengis@gmail.com. The seller information on the App Store belongs to the same developer.
Personalised advertising relies solely on your explicit consent: the iOS tracking permission and (if you are in the European Economic Area) the advertising consent form. If you do not consent, ads are not personalised and the game works exactly the same.
The limited technical data processed for non-personalised ads and fraud prevention relies on the legitimate interest of offering the app free of charge.
Purchases rely on the performance of a contract and are handled entirely by Apple.
Nothing. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts or location, and you do not need to create an account. The only information that reaches us directly is whatever you choose to share when you write to us by email.
The app shows ads through Google AdMob. To select, serve and measure ads, AdMob may process data such as the following. This data is collected automatically, by electronic means, through the Google Mobile Ads software (SDK) built into the app, at the time an ad is shown:
We cannot see this data; we only receive anonymous, aggregated performance reports. How Google uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and policies.google.com/privacy.
iOS asks for your separate permission before your advertising identifier can be used. You can choose not to allow it. In that case ads are not personalised; no game feature is switched off, no level is locked and performance does not change. You can withdraw permission later in iOS › Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
Purchases are processed entirely by Apple. Your card number, name and billing information stay with Apple and are not passed on to us. The only thing we see is anonymous, aggregated sales statistics from App Store Connect. Refund requests are handled through Apple.
Game Center (leaderboards and achievements): If you are signed in to Apple Game Center on your device, the game sends your best raid wave, your total number of ships burned and the achievements you earn to Game Center. This information is processed and stored by Apple together with your Game Center player name, and other players may see your player name and score on leaderboards. We do not access or store this data. You can turn off Game Center or change your profile visibility at any time in iOS Settings › Game Center. Apple's handling of this data is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.
Your game progress (completed levels, Ember Hearts balance, upgrades, sound and display settings) is kept only in the app's own storage on your device. This data does not leave your device. Deleting the app also deletes these records.
To detect technical problems, the app may keep a local error log on your device. This file stays on your device and is not sent to anyone unless you explicitly share it.
Notifications: the app schedules notifications such as the daily reward reminder on your device itself (local notifications). No data is sent to us or any third party for these notifications, and no push notification server is used. You can turn off notification permission in iOS Settings, and the reminders in the game's Settings menu, at any time.
Third-party services used in the app: Google AdMob (advertising) and Apple (distribution, purchases, anonymous crash reports, optional Game Center). Apart from Apple Game Center, there are no social media integrations, sign-in systems or separate analytics SDKs.
The app is not designed for children and we do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe your child's data has been processed, write to us at the address below and we will take the necessary steps to have the relevant records deleted.
Under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) and the GDPR you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection to processing and data portability.
As the developer, we hold no records about you — so there is no record to delete if you send us an erasure request. However, our advertising partner Google processes the data listed in section 4 in its own systems; you can send requests about that data through Google's privacy tools. You can also withdraw your tracking permission at any time as described in section 5.
If you believe your rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK) in Türkiye, or with the data protection authority of your country in the European Economic Area.
The advertising data listed in section 4 is sent by the ad software directly to Google (Google LLC, USA), and purchase, distribution and Game Center information to Apple (Apple Inc., USA), and is processed on these companies' servers abroad. We, as the developer, do not transfer this data abroad ourselves; it never reaches us.
Users in Türkiye (Article 9 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law, KVKK): The transfer made for personalised advertising is based on the explicit consent you give through the iOS tracking prompt and the ad consent form. Before consenting, you should know the risk: personal data may not be protected in the USA to the same level as in Türkiye, and foreign public authorities may be able to access it. If you do not consent, ads are not personalised; only the limited technical data needed to show an ad is processed, and the transfer takes place under the data protection commitments Google and Apple provide for such transfers. You can withdraw your consent at any time as described in section 5.
Users in the European Economic Area (GDPR): Google and Apple participate in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Transfers rely on the European Commission's adequacy decision for that framework and on the companies' standard contractual clauses.
Because we do not collect data from you as the developer, we hold no records about you. The game save on your device stays there until you delete the app. Retention periods for data processed by our advertising partner are set out in Google's own privacy policy.
If this policy is updated, the new version will be published on this page and the effective date will be changed. If the scope of data processing changes, the update will be clearly announced together with the app release.
