Privacy Policy

The core mission of Tarkan Cankan is to deliver an immersive augmented reality experience that merges digital interactions with your physical environment. To sustain this shared ecosystem, Tarkan Cankan requires access to specific user data. We treat your confidentiality as a top priority and process information only when permitted by a valid legal framework. This document serves to clarify our data practices whenever you engage with our mobile software, gaming products, online sites, retail offerings, or physical meetups (collectively, the ""Services"").

While we advocate for a comprehensive reading of this entire policy to fully grasp our security protocols, we have curated a simplified version for our minor users. Those younger individuals are encouraged to visit our ""Privacy Explorer"" section for a high-level summary of these terms.

In addition to this policy, your relationship with us is governed by the Terms of Service. We recommend reviewing them to understand the contractual obligations associated with using Tarkan Cankan platforms.

1. Personal information we collect

In the course of providing our Services, Tarkan Cankan acquires specific information that identifies you or relates to an identifiable individual ("Personal Information"). We obtain this data through three primary channels: information you volunteer, data we record automatically, and details shared by external partners.

1. Information Provided Directly by You

We collect details when you engage with us, such as when submitting inquiries, seeking technical assistance, or completing digital forms.

Contact and Identity: This includes your full name, email address, and telephone number.

Employment Materials: If you apply for a position via our platform, we will process your resume/CV, cover letter, and any professional history included therein.

User-Generated Content (UGC): With your permission, we may collect media or text you post on social platforms or send to us directly, which might include your likeness, voice, or social media handle.

2. Data Captured Automatically

As you navigate or interact with our Services, our systems automatically log technical data:

System and Hardware Specifications: We identify your device model, operating system, screen resolution, app version, language settings, time zone, and unique identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID or Device ID).

Activity and Interaction Logs: This encompasses your "Usage Information", such as timestamps of access, features utilized, in-app transaction history, and subscription status. For app functionality, this includes your progress, which may be synchronized via cloud services like iCloud, Google Play Apps, or Facebook.

Geographic Context: We determine your general vicinity (country and state) via your IP address. More granular data, such as city-level location, may be collected if you grant specific consent.

3. Information from External Sources and Integrations

We may supplement our records with data from third-party collaborators and integrated platforms.

Service Providers: We work with partners who collect data on our behalf according to their own privacy standards (refer to APPENDIX B for the full list).

Third-Party Account Linking: If you opt to link our Services to accounts like Google, Apple, or Facebook, we receive data permitted by your settings. This may include your Apple ID, Android User Name, or Facebook User ID. To adjust these permissions, please visit the respective privacy setting pages of Apple, Google, or Facebook.

Facebook Specifics: When using Facebook-integrated features, we may access your user ID, friend interactions within the App, and email address (if shared). The scope of this data is governed by Facebook's terms and your personal privacy configurations.

4. Media Permissions and Support

To enable specific functionalities, we may request access to your device's camera. Additionally, if you use our support tools to report an issue, we may require access to your local files or media gallery to process your uploaded attachments.

5. Cookies, SDKs, and Tracking Technologies

Tarkan Cankan and our advertising partners utilize tracking tools like cookies and Mobile SDKs to tailor your experience and deliver relevant advertisements. These technologies may track your behavior across various apps and websites to build an interest profile for personalized ads.

App Inventory: We and certain ad networks may view your installed applications to prevent showing ads for products you already own.

Do Not Track (DNT): Please be aware that our Services do not currently adjust their behavior in response to "Do Not Track" browser signals.

Opt-Out: To stop receiving personalized advertisements, please refer to the "Opt-out of targeted advertising" section below. Detailed cookie information for our specific domains can be found via the links provided in the footer.

4. Advanced Analytics and Tracking Technologies

To better understand user engagement, Tarkan Cankan implements analytical tools. On iOS devices, we utilize the Identifier for Vendor (IDFV) to monitor usage patterns over time.

Our analytical processes include:

Pattern Recognition: Evaluating aggregated or individual behavior to identify broad trends.

Performance Diagnostics: Assessing how our software interacts with your hardware to mitigate crashes.

User Segmentation: Categorizing users based on location or App usage habits to refine our services.

Experimental Research (A/B Testing): We may assign your device identifier to specific test groups to compare different app versions and determine which features offer the best user experience.

5. Notice for Residents of the European Economic Area (EEA)

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Tarkan Cankan maintains a digital log of your consent status on servers located within the EU. This registry includes your device identifier. If you opt-in to personalized ads, your advertising ID is archived solely to facilitate your rights to data portability or deletion. If consent is withheld, such identifiers are excluded from our compliance database.
