Privacy Policy

Vapurda Simit is a game about tossing simit to seagulls from Istanbul's ferries. This page explains what the game keeps and where. It is short because there is little to tell: the game isn't trying to get to know you.

1 Who we are

Vapurda Simit is made in Istanbul by independent developer Mehmet Furkan Boğazlıyan. When this policy says “we”, it means the game's developer. For anything at all, write to support@bulutto.com.

2 What stays on your device

So you can pick up where you left off, the game stores a few things on your device, inside its own app folder only:

Progress: the lines and piers you've unlocked, stars, best scores, coins, in-game items, daily missions and the seagull album.
Settings: sound, difficulty and which tips you've already seen.

If you turn on reminders, the game schedules at most one local notification a day for the Route of the Day. Your phone shows it by itself; nothing is sent anywhere for this. You can turn reminders off in the game's settings or under Settings › Notifications.

None of this is sent to us or anyone else, and we cannot see it. Deleting the app deletes all of it. Your iPhone backups (iCloud or a computer) may include app data; those backups are between you and Apple.

3 Game Center and leaderboards

Game Center is Apple's gaming service, and using it is optional. If you are signed in to Game Center on your device:

Your Sonsuz Sefer (Endless Voyage) scores are sent to the weekly and monthly leaderboards.
Your score is visible to other players along with your Game Center nickname and profile picture.

Apple processes and stores this information. We never see your Apple Account, email address or real name. See Apple's Game Center & Privacy page for details. To sign out or change who can see you, go to Settings › Game Center.

4 What we don't collect

Vapurda Simit has no ads, no analytics and no third-party tracking software. We don't ask for or collect your name, email, location, contacts, photos or device identifiers. The game doesn't track you across other apps or websites, and it doesn't go online except for Game Center.

The same goes for this website: it loads no outside fonts, scripts or cookies. Your best score in the website's trial voyage and the time of day you pick are kept only in your own browser and never reach us.

5 Children

The game is suitable for players of all ages. Because we collect no personal data from anyone, we collect none from children. Parents can manage a child's Game Center use through Apple's Family Sharing and Screen Time settings.

6 Your rights

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, No. 6698) give you the right to access, correct or delete your personal data. Since we hold no data about you, there is usually nothing for us to do: you can remove the game's data by deleting the app, and manage your Game Center data through Apple. You're still welcome to write to us with any question, and we'll reply within 30 days.

7 Changes

If we add a feature that affects this policy, we'll update this page and note the change below. Where needed, we'll ask for your permission inside the game before the change takes effect.
