Kickle — Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to Kickle: Football Quiz and Kickle: Soccer Quiz & Trivia (the "Application"), a mobile app provided by Ediz Yilmaz (the "Service Provider"). The Application is provided as a freemium service and is intended for use as is.

Information the Application collects

Kickle does not require account registration, an email address, a phone number, or a real name. The Application may collect or process the following information:

• User ID: a random app-generated identifier stored on your device and used for leaderboard ranking and purchase entitlement checks.
• Display name: the short leaderboard name you choose in the Application.
• Approximate location: your country or region, derived from device locale or by advertising partners, used for regional leaderboards and advertising.
• Gameplay data: score, accuracy, streak, game mode, app version, premium status, and played timestamp for leaderboard functionality.
• Purchase history and subscription status: used to provide Kickle Pro features and remove ads for eligible users.
• Advertising data and device identifiers: collected by advertising partners to show and measure ads, subject to your App Tracking Transparency and consent choices.
• Usage, performance, crash, and diagnostic data: collected to operate, secure, measure, and improve the Application and advertising services.

How information is used

The information above may be used for the following purposes:

• Providing core app functionality, including rounds, scores, streaks, leaderboards, and premium access.
• Processing and restoring in-app purchases and subscriptions.
• Displaying ads and measuring ad performance.
• Managing privacy consent where required by law.
• Improving app reliability, performance, and user experience.
• Preventing abuse of leaderboard and premium systems.

Third-party services

The Application uses third-party services that may collect information according to their own privacy policies:

• Google Privacy Policy — Google Mobile Ads and Google User Messaging Platform are used for ads, consent management, and ad measurement.
• RevenueCat Privacy Policy — RevenueCat is used to manage in-app purchases, subscriptions, entitlements, and purchase restoration.
• Apple Privacy Policy — App Store purchases and platform-level privacy settings are handled by Apple.

Advertising, tracking, and consent

Kickle may show ads through Google Mobile Ads. On iOS, the Application asks for App Tracking Transparency permission before accessing the advertising identifier where required. In regions where additional consent is required, Google User Messaging Platform may present privacy choices for personalized ads and related processing.

You can change tracking permissions at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Users in applicable regions may also be shown Google privacy choices in the Application.

In-app purchases

Kickle offers optional in-app purchases and subscriptions, including Kickle Pro. Purchase transactions are processed by Apple, and subscription status is managed with RevenueCat. The Service Provider does not receive your payment card details.

Data sharing

Information may be shared with service providers only as needed to operate the Application, including leaderboard hosting, advertising, consent management, purchase management, diagnostics, and fraud prevention. The Service Provider does not sell your personal information.

Data retention

Leaderboard and premium entitlement records may be retained while needed to provide the Application, maintain score history, prevent abuse, and support purchase-related features. Diagnostic and advertising data is retained according to the policies of the relevant third-party providers. You may request deletion of data associated with your app-generated user ID by contacting the Service Provider.

Your choices and rights

• You can stop all future collection by uninstalling the Application.
• You can reset or limit advertising tracking using iOS privacy settings.
• You can request access, correction, or deletion of data associated with your app-generated user ID.
• If you are in the EEA, UK, Switzerland, or another region with privacy rights, you may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Children

The Application is not directed to children under 13, and the Service Provider does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Application, please contact the Service Provider so the information can be deleted.

Security

The Service Provider uses reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information processed by the Application. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the Application after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
