Who we are
This policy is issued by KURTOGLU OTOMOTIV TURIZM INSAAT SAN VE TIC LTD STI (“Kurtoglu Apps”, “we”, “us”), a limited company registered in Türkiye at Kazım Karabekir Cad. No:27/4, İskitler, 06070 Altındağ/Ankara, Türkiye. We are the data controller for the personal data described here, under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and, where it applies, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
It applies to every Android app published on Google Play under the developer name Kurtoglu Apps (the “apps”), and to this website. You can reach us at [email protected].
The short version
- We collect only what an app needs to work, and we say what that is in each app's Data safety section on Google Play.
- We do not sell personal data.
- Most of what you create in our apps stays on your device unless you choose to back it up or sync it.
- You can delete your account and data at any time, in the app or on our deletion page.
What we collect
Information you give us
- Account details, if an app offers an account: your name or nickname, email address and a user ID.
- Content you create, such as vehicle records, trip notes or measurements. This is stored on your device. It reaches our servers only if you turn on backup or sync.
- Messages you send to support, with any details or screenshots you include.
Information collected automatically
- Crash reports and diagnostics: device model, Android version, app version and the technical record of the error, so we can fix it. Where an app uses Firebase Crashlytics, its listing says so.
- Usage statistics: which screens and features are used, linked to a random identifier, not to your name. Where an app uses Google Analytics for Firebase, its listing says so.
- Advertising data, only in apps that show ads: your device's advertising ID, approximate location derived from your IP address, and information about ad views and clicks, processed by Google AdMob.
- Purchase records: when you buy something in an app, Google Play handles the payment. We receive an order number, the product, the date and the status of the purchase. We never see your card details.
Permissions
An app asks for a permission (for example location, camera or notifications) only for the feature that needs it, and only when you use that feature. You can withdraw a permission at any time in Android Settings. We do not use precise location for advertising.
How we use it
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Provide the app and your account | Account details, content you sync | Performance of a contract (KVKK Art. 5(2)(c); GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Fix crashes and keep the app secure | Diagnostics | Legitimate interest (KVKK Art. 5(2)(f); GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Understand which features are used | Usage statistics | Legitimate interest, or consent where the law requires it |
| Show ads in free apps | Advertising data | Consent where required (EEA, UK, Switzerland); otherwise legitimate interest |
| Answer support requests | Messages | Legitimate interest; contract where it concerns your account |
| Keep financial records | Purchase records | Legal obligation (KVKK Art. 5(2)(ç); GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)) |
Advertising
Some free apps show ads served by Google AdMob. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland we ask for your consent before personalised ads are shown, using Google's consent message, and you can change your choice in the app's settings. Everywhere, you can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads in Android Settings, under Privacy, then Ads. Apps that are designed for children do not show personalised ads. Learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Who we share it with
- Service providers who process data for us under contract: Google (Google Play, Firebase and AdMob) and our hosting provider.
- Authorities, when Turkish or other applicable law requires it.
- A buyer or successor, if our business or an app is sold or merged, under the same protections described here.
We do not sell or rent personal data.
International transfers
Our service providers may process data outside Türkiye, including in the European Union and the United States. Where data leaves Türkiye or the EEA, we rely on the safeguards the law provides, such as standard contractual clauses under KVKK Article 9 and GDPR Article 46.
How long we keep it
| Data | Kept for |
|---|---|
| Account details and synced content | Until you delete your account, then removed within 30 days |
| Crash reports | Up to 90 days |
| Usage statistics | Up to 14 months |
| Support messages | Up to 2 years after the conversation ends |
| Purchase and invoice records | 10 years, as required by the Turkish Commercial Code (Art. 82) and Tax Procedure Law |
Security
Data travels between the apps and our servers over encrypted connections (TLS). Access to personal data is limited to the people who need it to do their work. No method of storage or transfer is perfectly secure, and if a breach affects your data we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
Children
Our apps are not directed at children under 13, unless an app's Google Play listing says it is designed for children. Such apps follow Google Play's Families Policy and collect no more than the policy allows. If you believe a child has given us personal data without a parent's consent, write to us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Under KVKK Article 11, and the GDPR where it applies, you can ask us to:
- tell you whether we process your personal data, and give you a copy;
- explain why we process it and whether it has been sent to others, in Türkiye or abroad;
- correct data that is incomplete or wrong;
- delete or anonymise it;
- give you your data in a portable format;
- stop or restrict processing, or object to it;
- withdraw consent you have given, at any time;
- compensate you for damage caused by unlawful processing.
Write to [email protected] or to our postal address. We answer free of charge within 30 days. You may also complain to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority (Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu, kvkk.gov.tr) or to the data protection authority where you live.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account inside any app that has one (Settings, then Account, then Delete account), or by following the steps on our account deletion page, which also lists what we delete and what we must keep.
This website
This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics or advertising, and loads its fonts from our own server. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, page requested and time) for up to 30 days to keep the site secure.
App-specific details
Each app is listed here once it is published, with the data it collects and the services it uses. The same information appears in the app's Data safety section on Google Play.
| App | Data collected | Third-party services |
|---|---|---|
| No apps are published yet. This table is updated on the day each app is released. | ||
Changes to this policy
When we change this policy we update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use data you have already given us, we tell you in the app before it takes effect.
