Privacy policy
This policy describes how Ahmet Oğuz Şahan (“we”, “us”) handles personal information when you use our mobile applications, websites, and related services (together, the “Services”). By using the Services, you acknowledge this policy.
1. Who we are
The Services are published by Ahmet Oğuz Şahan, an individual developer, who is the data controller for the Services and is reachable at https://apparya.app. A controller has to be an identifiable person or entity, and here that is a person rather than a company. For privacy questions, or to exercise any of the rights in section 12, contact apparyaofficial@gmail.com.
2. Which apps this covers
This policy covers every app published by Ahmet Oğuz Şahan. Our apps do different things and therefore handle different data, so each section below says which apps it applies to. Where a section names no app, it applies to all of them.
- MovieHub — film discovery with friends, messaging, and taste matching.
- Home Inventory — a private record of what you own.
- Ortholine — orthodontic patient tracking and analysis for clinics.
- Tiny Town Takedown — a single-player open-city game. It has no account.
3. What we collect
Account information. When you create an account we store the email address and password you register with, a display name, a username, and a profile photo if you upload one. Passwords are handled by our authentication provider and are never visible to us in readable form.
Content you create. In MovieHub this includes the films you like, dislike or save, the messages you send in chats, the friends you connect with, your activity in shared and matching features, and any report or block you submit. In Home Inventory it is the items, rooms and notes you record. In Ortholine it is the clinical records a practice chooses to store.
Game progress. In Tiny Town Takedown your progress, settings and what you have bought are saved on your device only. The game has no account; deleting the app deletes it. To see how the game is played, it sends anonymous gameplay events to GameAnalytics (see section 8): sessions and their length, missions started, finished or failed, in-game currency earned and spent, ads watched and purchases made, together with a random device identifier, device model, operating system and app version. These events are not linked to your name or any account.
Device and diagnostic data. Device model, operating system version, language, app version, crash reports, and aggregated events describing which features are used. These tell us what is broken and what is worth building; they are not used to build a profile of you.
Push notification token. If you allow notifications, the device token issued by Apple or Google so that a message or a match can reach you.
Advertising identifier. Only in apps that show ads, and only if you grant permission when iOS asks. Decline and the apps keep working; the ads simply stop being personalised.
Purchase records. If you buy a subscription or an in-app item, the app store tells us that an entitlement is active and when it expires. We never see or store your card number — the payment is handled entirely by Apple or Google.
Camera. MovieHub can open the camera to scan a friend’s QR code. The image is read on your device to recover the code and is not stored or transmitted.
We do not collect location data. Our apps request no location permission. Our servers see the IP address of a request, as every internet service does, which implies a rough region.
4. Biometric and 3D facial data
Some apps (for example FaceForma3D) create a 3D facial model from your device’s camera or depth sensor. This biometric data is processed and stored only locally on your device — it is never uploaded to our cloud or transmitted to our servers, and we do not receive, access, or retain it. The data stays under your control and is removed when you delete it in the app or uninstall the app.
5. What other people can see
MovieHub is a social app, so some of what you do is visible to others by design. It is worth being precise about which parts.
- Your friends can see your display name, username, profile photo, the films you have rated or saved, and your activity in the shared feed.
- People you are matched with see an alias and the films you have in common — not your name or profile — until you both accept. After that you appear to each other as friends do.
- Anyone who knows your username can find your profile to send a friend request.
- Messages are visible to you and the person you send them to. Deleting a conversation removes it from your view; it does not remove it from theirs.
You can block someone at any time, which stops them contacting you or seeing your activity, and you can report content or behaviour to us for review.
6. Why we use data, and on what basis
- To provide the Services you asked for, including sign-in, messaging and matching — performance of a contract.
- To keep accounts secure and to detect and act on abuse — our legitimate interest and, where applicable, a legal obligation.
- To fix faults and improve the apps using crash and usage data — our legitimate interest in a working product.
- To show advertising, and to personalise it only where you have permitted tracking — consent.
- To send notifications you have enabled — consent, withdrawable in your device settings at any time.
- To comply with law, and to establish or defend legal claims — legal obligation and legitimate interest.
7. Advertising and tracking
Some apps show advertising supplied by Google AdMob: optional rewarded ads you choose to watch in return for something in the app, and, in Tiny Town Takedown, occasional full-screen ads at natural breaks in play. Google receives device information, the advertising identifier where permitted, and the IP address in order to choose, show and measure these ads; see how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Consent first. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent through Google’s consent form (an IAB TCF certified consent management platform) before ads are personalised. Decline and you see non-personalised ads only. You can change your choice at any time from the app’s settings.
Tracking on iOS. We ask through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt before any tracking identifier is used. If you decline, or later turn tracking off in iOS Settings, you still see ads but they are not personalised using that identifier.
A paid subscription or a “No Ads” purchase, where offered, removes the full-screen ads.
8. Service providers
We share data only with providers that process it on our instructions, and only as far as their job requires:
- Google (Firebase) — authentication, database, file storage, push notifications, crash reporting and analytics.
- Google AdMob — advertising in apps that show it.
- Adapty — subscription entitlement management.
- Apple — App Store purchases and subscription billing.
- Unity Technologies — the engine Tiny Town Takedown is built with, and its in-app purchase library. The payment itself is handled by Apple.
- GameAnalytics — gameplay analytics and crash reporting in Tiny Town Takedown; see its privacy policy.
- The Movie Database (TMDB) — film information shown in MovieHub. We request film data; we do not send them your personal data.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers for their own purposes.
9. Disclosure to authorities and legal requests
We may preserve and disclose personal data — including account details, IP addresses, device information and message content — to police, courts, regulators or other competent authorities where:
- the law requires it, or we receive a valid and specific legal request such as a court order;
- we believe in good faith that it is necessary to prevent or investigate a serious crime;
- someone is at risk of death or serious physical harm, and disclosure could prevent it;
- it is needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or to enforce our Terms of use.
Child sexual abuse material is reported to the relevant authorities, and the associated account data is preserved for them.
We do not hand over data on an informal request. We check that a request is valid and covers what it asks for, and we disclose no more than it requires. Where the law allows it and no one is endangered by the delay, we try to tell the person concerned; where the law forbids notice, or a child’s safety is at stake, we do not.
10. Retention
Account information and the content you create are kept while your account exists. Delete your account and we remove your profile, your lists and your connections; messages you have already sent may remain visible to the people who received them. Crash and analytics records are kept in aggregated form on our providers’ standard schedules. See Account & data deletion for how to start this.
Two things outlive deletion. Where an account was terminated for breaking our Terms of use, we keep the minimum record needed to stop the same person registering again. Where data is evidence of a crime, or is needed for a legal claim, we keep it for as long as that requires.
11. Security
Data is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored on managed infrastructure with access controls, and our database rules restrict every record to the accounts entitled to it. No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim otherwise; if a breach affects you we will notify you as the law requires.
12. Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have the right to access the data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to processing, to receive it in a portable form, and to withdraw consent you have given. Much of this is available directly in the app: your profile is editable, your lists are yours to change, and the account deletion page explains removal. For anything else, write to apparyaofficial@gmail.com and we will respond within the period the applicable law allows. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
13. International transfers
Our providers operate globally, so your data may be processed outside your country, including in the United States. Where that happens we rely on the safeguards those providers offer, such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
14. Children
The Services are not for children under 13, or under 16 where local law sets that as the age for consenting to online services without a parent. MovieHub in particular lets people message each other, and it is not built for children.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone below those ages. If we learn that an account belongs to an under-age user we close it and delete its data. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has an account or has given us data, write to apparyaofficial@gmail.com and we will remove it.
15. Changes
We update this policy when the Services change. The date at the top always reflects the current version, and material changes will be signalled in the app or on this site before they take effect.
