TekirTekir Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 October 2026. This policy covers the Tekir Android app (the "app"). The data controller is the developer of Tekir; contact: info@emiryigit.com.
In short
- Your cats, items and progress are stored on your phone.
- If you use "Raise together", the shared cat's data and your nickname are stored on Google Firebase servers and are visible only to the people caring for that cat.
- Ads are shown with Google AdMob. Players under 13 never see personalised ads.
- You can delete your data from inside the app at any time.
What data we process
| Data | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Birth year | On first launch | To choose age-appropriate ads and features. Stored only on your device. |
| Game save (cats, items, settings) | Always | To run the game. Stored on your device; backed up to the cloud if you create an email account. |
| Anonymous user ID (UID) | When you raise a cat together | To tell the caretakers of a shared cat apart. |
| Nickname, avatar colour | When you raise a cat together | To show the other caretakers who did what. Players under 13 pick from a list. |
| Shared cat state and care log | When you raise a cat together | So the cat looks the same on everyone's phone, and for entries like "Ayşe fed". |
| Email address | Only if you create the optional account (13+) | Account and cloud backup. |
| Notification token | If you allow notifications | To tell you when your cat is hungry or a friend cared for it. |
| Advertising ID, IP address, device info | When ads are shown | Ad delivery, measurement and fraud prevention by Google AdMob. |
Who sees what on a shared cat
People caring for the same cat see each other's nickname and avatar colour, the cat's state, who fed, played with or brushed it and when, and the ready-made reactions sent. There is no open chat. Someone who knows the invite code can see the cat's name and state before joining, so share the code only with people you trust. The founder can remove and block a person; anyone can leave at any time.
Children
The app is open to players of all ages. We never collect an email address or free text from players under 13; nicknames are picked from a list and other members' names are shown to them as generated nicknames. These players only see child-appropriate, non-personalised ads. Adding friends is protected by a grown-up question and can be switched off completely in settings. Parents can ask us to delete their child's data at any time.
Services we use
- Google Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Messaging (Google LLC)
- Google AdMob and User Messaging Platform (Google LLC)
These services may store data outside your country (for example in the EU and the US), under Google's standard contractual clauses.
Retention
- Game save on your device: until you uninstall the app or choose "Delete my data".
- Shared cat and its log: until the last caretaker leaves; when you leave, your nickname is removed from the cat.
- Cloud backup and email: until you delete your account.
- Firebase security logs (IP): short periods set by Google (a few weeks).
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data and object to its processing. Write to info@emiryigit.com; including the player ID from Settings helps us find your data.
Deleting your data
In the app: Settings › Delete my data. It leaves shared cats, deletes your cloud save and anonymous ID and resets the device. Details: Account and data deletion.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with its date.
