1. Introduction

Welcome to Dama – Turkish Draughts ("the App"), a mobile game developed and published by Hypcor ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use the App — including offline play, online multiplayer, account sign-in, and in-app messaging.

By downloading or using Dama, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App.

2. Information We Collect

You can play Dama offline without creating an account. When you choose to sign in or use online features, we collect the following types of information:

Account & authentication data

  • Information provided when you sign in with Google or Apple, such as your name, email address (if shared by the provider), and a unique account identifier
  • Your chosen display name and profile information within the App
  • Authentication tokens required to keep you signed in and secure your account

Online gameplay data

  • Match records, game moves, results, ratings, and other gameplay statistics related to online play
  • Connection and session information needed to match you with opponents and synchronize games in real time
  • Reports you submit about other players, if applicable

Messaging data

  • Messages you send and receive through the App's chat features, including text content and timestamps
  • Information about conversations and participants involved in those messages

Device & technical data

  • Device type, operating system version, app version, and language settings
  • IP address and general network information used to deliver online services and maintain security
  • Push notification tokens, if you enable notifications
  • Crash logs and diagnostic data to help us fix bugs and improve stability

Local storage (on your device)

  • Game settings, preferences, and cached data stored locally to improve performance and your in-app experience

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Create and manage your account when you sign in with Google or Apple
  • Enable online multiplayer, matchmaking, and real-time game synchronization
  • Deliver, store, and display in-app messages between you and other players
  • Maintain leaderboards, ratings, and match history
  • Send service-related notifications, such as game invites or messages, when you opt in
  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, cheating, and violations of our terms
  • Monitor and improve App performance, reliability, and security
  • Respond to your support requests and legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for third-party advertising.

4. Third-Party Services

To provide online features, Dama relies on trusted third-party services. These providers may process limited data on our behalf according to their own privacy policies:

  • Google Sign-In — for account authentication on supported devices (Google Privacy Policy)
  • Sign in with Apple — for account authentication on Apple devices (Apple Privacy Policy)
  • Cloud infrastructure & backend services — to host accounts, online games, and messages securely

When you use Google or Apple to sign in, we receive only the information those services share with us based on your consent and their platform settings. We do not receive your Google or Apple account password.

5. No Advertising

Dama does not display third-party advertisements. We do not integrate advertising SDKs or sell user data to ad networks. Any analytics or diagnostic tools we use are limited to improving App functionality and are not used for targeted advertising.

6. Data Sharing

We may share information only in the following circumstances:

  • With other players: Your display name, profile details you choose to show, ratings, and messages you send are visible to other users as part of online play and chat
  • With service providers: Trusted partners who help us operate online services (hosting, authentication, notifications), bound by confidentiality obligations
  • For legal reasons: When required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of Hypcor, our users, or the public
  • Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to continued protection of your information

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

7. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide online services. Match history, messages, and account data may be kept for a reasonable period to support gameplay features, resolve disputes, enforce our policies, and comply with legal obligations.

When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate security and fraud-prevention purposes.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. Online data is transmitted over encrypted connections where supported, and access to our systems is restricted.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. While we work to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws — including the GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations — such as the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Object to or restrict certain processing activities
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
  • Receive a copy of your data in a portable format, where applicable

You can manage some settings directly in the App. To exercise your rights or request account deletion, contact us at privacy@hypcor.com. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

If you signed in with Google or Apple, you can also review and manage permissions through your Google or Apple account settings.

10. Children's Privacy

Dama is intended for a general audience. Online features — including account sign-in and messaging — are not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age threshold in your country).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it. Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise their children's use of online and messaging features.

11. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored on servers located outside your country of residence, including countries that may have different data protection laws. Where required, we take appropriate safeguards to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time — for example, when we add new features or change how we handle data. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
