Sözvar — Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information the Sözvar mobile app (which includes the Crossword and Picture Word games), developed by Yumurta, collects, how it is used, and how it is protected. By downloading and using the app, you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Sözvar does not require any registration, name, email address, or phone number to play as a guest. The following information is collected:

  1. Anonymous identifier — each device is assigned a unique, randomly generated code the first time the app is opened (via Firebase Anonymous Authentication). This code does not identify you personally; it is used solely to store your game progress (score, unlocked levels).
  2. Google Sign-In (optional) — if you choose to sign in with Google instead of playing as a guest, we collect your Google account's name and email address. This lets you keep your progress and coin balance across devices. Signing in is entirely optional — you can play the full game as a guest.
  3. Username (optional) — a display name you choose yourself inside the app.
  4. Support messages (optional) — if you contact us from the app's Contact screen, we store the message you write and, if you attach one, the image you select, so that we can reply to you.
  5. Device information — device model, operating system (Android/iOS), and app version.
  6. Gameplay activity — coin balance, number of completed levels/puzzles, unlocked pages, and time spent in the app.
  7. Notification status — whether you have granted permission for push notifications.
  8. Technical/performance data — app crash reports, error logs, and performance measurements.
  9. Usage statistics — which screens you view and how often you open the app (aggregated, non-identifying statistics).

As a guest, Sözvar does not collect your name, email address, phone number, or precise (GPS) location.

2. How We Use This Information

  1. To save and restore your game progress (score, unlocked levels)
  2. To improve the app — understanding which parts are difficult or enjoyable
  3. To detect and fix technical issues (crashes, errors)
  4. To reply to your support messages
  5. To occasionally send you in-app bonuses, announcements, or notifications
  6. To display optional advertising and to measure our own advertising campaigns (see below)

3. Third-Party Services

Sözvar uses the following third-party services, each with its own privacy policy:

  1. Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore Database, Storage, Cloud Messaging, Analytics, Crashlytics, Performance Monitoring) — used to store game data, deliver notifications, and monitor app stability and performance. Firebase Privacy Policy
  2. Google AdMob — used to show optional in-app advertisements. AdMob may use an Advertising ID for ad measurement and personalization. Google Privacy Policy
  3. Meta Platforms (Facebook SDK) — used only to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on Instagram and Facebook (for example, whether the app was installed after seeing an ad). The SDK sends app install and app open events to Meta, together with device information (model, OS version, language) and the Advertising ID. No name, email, or gameplay data is sent. Meta Privacy Policy

4. Advertising

Ads in Sözvar are optional — there are no forced ads. You watch an ad only by tapping the "Watch & Earn" button to receive a bonus reward (coins). The ad network (Google AdMob) may use a device identifier to personalize ads. You can reset or delete your Advertising ID at any time in your device's settings (Settings → Google → Ads).

5. Children's Privacy

Sözvar does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. The app is designed for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

You can permanently delete your game data at any time, directly from the app:

  1. Open Sözvar
  2. Go to Settings
  3. Tap "RESET" near the bottom
  4. Confirm the warning prompt

This immediately and permanently deletes your saved progress, coin balance, and any messages associated with your account from our servers. You can also request deletion by emailing us at the address below.

7. Data Security

Your data is stored using Google Firebase's security infrastructure. Firestore Security Rules ensure that each user can only access their own data.

8. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. If significant changes are made, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
