Summary
Okey is a free okey game made by Bereket Yazılım. We never ask for your name, email address or phone number. When you play offline, your progress is stored on your device and, if you like, a copy is also kept on our server as a cloud save. We also receive usage statistics and error reports without your name (see below). If you use the online section, an anonymous player ID, the player name you choose, the avatar you pick, your online coins and the data of the tables you play are handled on our own game server so online play can work. The app shows ads through Google AdMob, and coin purchases go through Google Play.
Data stored on your device
Your offline coins, statistics, unfinished game and settings (language, sound, table theme, colour-blind mode and so on) are kept only in your device's local storage. If cloud save is on, a copy of it is also sent to our server (see below). Uninstalling the app deletes them.
Online play
The online section runs on Bereket Yazılım's game server in Istanbul (through the Cloudflare network, over an encrypted connection). The server runs the tables: it deals the tiles, checks every move, plays the computer seats and settles the coins. When you open the online section:
- Anonymous player ID: the server creates a random ID and a secret sign-in key for your device; the key is kept only on your device and the server stores a hashed (SHA-256) form of it. The ID is not linked to your name, email or phone number.
- Player name and avatar: you first get an automatic name such as "Oyuncu 1234"; the first time you open the online section you may choose your own name for free, and later change it by watching a short rewarded ad. You may also pick one of the ready-made avatar pictures. Offensive names are refused. Both are shown to the other players at your table. There is no free text and no chat.
- Online coins: your online coin balance, your coin movements (table entries, winnings, refunds, ad rewards, purchases) and the time of your last ad reward are stored.
- Table data: your seat, your moves, the dealt tiles and the scores are kept in the server's memory only while the table runs and are not saved permanently. Your own tiles are sent only to you; the other players cannot see them until the hand is over.
- Purchase records: when you buy online coins, the purchase is checked with Google Play; a hashed (SHA-256) form of the purchase token, the product and the time are stored so the same purchase is never credited twice.
Your IP address is used for the connection but not stored. App versions before 1.1.0 used Google Firebase (Belgium, europe-west1) for the online section; their data can also be deleted with the request below.
Coin purchases (Google Play)
Coin packs are sold through Google Play Billing. Your payment details are handled by Google; we never see your card or payment information. Coins can only be used in the game; they cannot be cashed out or transferred to other players. Offline and online coins are separate.
What reaches our server
The app sends the following to Bereket Yazılım's server in Istanbul (through the Cloudflare network, over an encrypted connection):
- Usage statistics: an install number the app makes up at random, not linked to your name, email or advertising ID; when and how long the app is used; game events (such as a game starting and ending, score, level, tools used, rewarded ads watched, joining online tables, name changes, coin purchases); the app version, Android version details and device language. Only the country is derived from your IP address; the address itself is not stored.
- Error reports: when the app runs into an error, its description and where in the code it happened.
- Cloud save: a copy of your game progress (statistics, settings, the game in progress), stored under a random player number and a backup code only you have; enter the code on a new phone to bring your progress back.
The app also reads game settings such as ad frequency from the server; no personal data is sent for that.
We use this to improve the game, fix bugs and keep your progress safe; we do not sell it or use it for advertising. Detailed usage records are deleted after 180 days and only daily totals remain. You can turn off usage statistics, error reports and cloud save in Settings → Cloud save and statistics.
Advertising and Google AdMob
The app is supported by ads served by Google AdMob (Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited):
- an app-open ad each time the app is opened or brought back to the foreground,
- a banner at the bottom of the screen,
- rewarded ads for coins, only when you cannot afford the lowest table and you choose to watch one.
No full-screen ad is shown between hands or during play. To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and process:
- Your device's advertising ID (Android Advertising ID) and other device identifiers
- IP address and approximate location derived from it
- Device and operating system information (model, language, screen size, etc.)
- Ad interactions (impressions, clicks) and app performance/diagnostic information
Google processes this data under its own policies: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Your ad choices and consent
- Users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent to personalized ads through Google's consent tool (UMP). In those regions you can change your choice at any time in the app under Settings → Privacy choices.
- On Android you can delete or reset your advertising ID under Settings → Google → Ads.
Deleting your online data
To have your online player record (player name, avatar, online coins) and your table records deleted, email [email protected] with your player name from the app (for example "Oyuncu 1234"). We act on requests within 30 days. Deleted online coins cannot be restored. For the data on your device, uninstalling the app is enough.
Age limit
Because the app has coin tables (simulated gambling), it is not meant for people under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
Sharing and sale of data
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share data with any third party other than the Google services described above (AdMob, Google Play; Firebase in older versions) and the Cloudflare network in front of our server. Your player name and avatar are shown only to the players at your table.
Security
Communication with our server, Google Play and the Google Mobile Ads SDK uses encrypted connections (HTTPS/WSS). In online play every move is checked on the server, and only the server can change coin balances. The app does not request access to your photos, contacts, location or microphone.
Your rights (GDPR and KVKK)
You can send requests about your rights of access, correction and deletion under the GDPR or Turkey's Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) to the email address below. To have your cloud save deleted, send us the backup code shown in Settings. Requests about advertising data processed by Google are handled through Google's tools.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always published on this page with its effective date shown above.
