Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 4, 2026
This page explains what information the FootName app (website and mobile app) collects from you, why it collects it, and what rights you have over it.
1. Data controller
The party responsible for your personal data is: Bogazici App Studio, Türkiye.
For anything about this policy or your data, write to isoekoappstudio@gmail.com.
2. Information we collect
We collect only what the game needs to work:
- Your email address — if you create an account with email, Google or Apple.
- The basic profile information Google passes to us when you sign in with Google (your email address, name and the address of your profile picture). Of these we use only the email address.
- When you sign in with Apple: the email address Apple passes to us and an identifier Apple creates for you. If you choose “Hide My Email”, we receive Apple's relay address instead of your real one. We do not ask for your name.
- Your password — if you sign up with email. Passwords are stored in an irreversible (hashed) form; we cannot see them.
- Your username — you choose it; your opponents see it.
- Match information — the score, date, opponent and your in-match picks for the online matches you play. A summary of it (the results of your recent matches and your win rate) is shown to the opponent you are matched with.
- If you play as a guest: a temporary username and identifier assigned automatically. No email or other information is requested.
- Preferences kept on your device — language, sound/vibration and game type. These stay on your device and are not sent to our servers.
- Technical logs — our hosting providers process connection details such as your IP address in short-lived logs in order to deliver the service and prevent abuse.
3. What we do not collect
- We do not show ads and do not use your data for advertising.
- We do not track you across apps and websites; we do not collect an advertising identifier.
- We do not use third-party analytics or tracking tools.
- We do not access your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.
- We do not sell your data.
4. Why we use the information
- To create your account and let you sign in.
- To match you with an opponent and run the match in real time on both sides.
- To show you and your matched opponent your match summary (recent results, win rate and your score against that opponent).
- To keep the service secure and prevent abuse.
Legal basis: performance of our contract to provide the game to you, and our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure.
5. Who the information is shared with
Your username and your match summary (recent results and win rate) are shown to the opponent you are matched with. Beyond that, your information is processed only by the following providers that run the service on our behalf:
- Supabase — database and sign-in infrastructure. Your data is stored in Germany (Frankfurt).
- Vercel — website and server infrastructure.
- Google — only if you choose “Sign in with Google”, to verify your identity.
- Apple — only if you choose “Sign in with Apple”, to verify your identity.
These providers process your data only on our instructions and only to provide the service, and they are required to protect it at a level the same as or equivalent to this policy.
6. International transfers
Your data is stored within the European Union (Germany). Some of the providers above are companies based in the United States, so data may pass through servers outside the EU during certain technical operations. These providers protect the data under their data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses.
7. How long we keep it
- Your account information is kept until you delete your account.
- Guest accounts are deleted when you sign out.
- Technical logs are kept for our providers' standard periods (usually a few weeks).
8. Deleting your account and data
You can delete your account yourself inside the app: tap the profile chip at the top left → “Delete Account” → confirm. The same can be done on the website.
Deletion is permanent and immediate: your sign-in details, email address, username and profile are deleted. If you signed in with Apple, the app's Sign in with Apple authorisation is revoked as well. Records in your opponents' match history (score and date) are not deleted; their link to your account is removed.
If you cannot access the app, you can also request deletion by writing to isoekoappstudio@gmail.com from the email address of your account.
9. Your rights
Under Article 11 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) and, if you live in the EU, the GDPR, you have the right to:
- Learn what data about you is processed and request a copy of it.
- Have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
- Have your data deleted.
- Object to processing or ask for it to be restricted.
- Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
10. Children
FootName is a game football fans of any age can enjoy; it is not directed specifically at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you think your child has shared information with us, get in touch and we will help remove it.
11. Security
All connections between the app and the servers are encrypted (HTTPS). Access rules in the database ensure that each user can reach only their own data. No system is completely secure; if we become aware of a breach we will notify affected users.
12. Changes to this policy
We update this page as the app changes; the date above shows the latest update. We will announce inside the app any significant change to the data we collect or how we use it.
