Privacy policy

Last updated: 30 September 2026

In short: Tipto needs no account and has no ads or analytics tools. Everything in the game stays on your phone. The one exception: if you turn on What’s new notifications, your phone's notification address for Tipto and the game language are kept.

Who is responsible?

The developer who publishes Tipto on the App Store and the data controller: EIGHT UP BİLİŞİM ENERJİ VE TURİZM ANONİM ŞİRKETİ (MERSİS no. 0326066450100001; Istanbul Trade Registry no. 1025606), Maslak Mah. AOS 55. Sk. 42 Maslak A Blok No: 2 İç Kapı No: 208, Sarıyer, Istanbul, Türkiye. For any privacy question: [email protected]

What data does the game collect?

Your progress, simit, characters and settings are stored only on your device and are never sent to us. If you delete the app, they are deleted too. Only if you turn on What’s new notifications is the notification address described below kept on our server.

Your Own Pet and the camera

Your pet's photo is processed on your phone. Only a few colors taken from the photo and the name you choose are stored on your device. The photo itself is not stored and is never sent anywhere. Camera or photo access is only requested when you use this feature.

Purchases

Purchases are handled by Apple. We never see your payment details. The game checks what you bought on your device through Apple's system.

Notifications

If you allow them, the game schedules local reminders on your device: at most one a day, never at night. No server is involved. You can turn them off at any time in the game settings or in iOS Settings.

What’s new notifications

If you would like to hear about new cities, events and big updates, you can turn on What's new in the game settings. A grown-up does this, after a clear consent screen and a parent check. Only this is then kept on our server: the notification address Apple gives this phone for Tipto (an anonymous code that is of no use to any other app), the game language, whether the app is a test or store version, and the dates of the entry. Your name, email address, location, IP address and game progress are not stored. We use this only to send you Tipto announcements and share it with no one; Apple's notification service (APNs) delivers the notification to your phone. The legal basis is your consent. When you turn What's new off, the entry is deleted at once. If you delete the app, the entry is deleted at the first send after Apple reports it; it is also deleted on its own if the game isn't opened for a year. The entry is kept in Cloudflare's database service.

Event news

To show event gifts, the game now and then downloads a small event file from playtipto.com. Nothing about you is sent with it: no cookies, no ids. Cloudflare, which serves the file, may briefly process technical data such as your IP address to deliver it and protect it from attacks.

Ads and tracking

This version has no ads. We don't track you across apps or websites, and we don't use third-party analytics or ad tools.

Children

Tipto is made for players of all ages. We ask for no account and don't collect personal data such as names, email addresses or locations from children. A parent check comes before purchases, before opening a link out of the game and before turning on What's new notifications.

This website

playtipto.com uses no cookies and no visitor analytics. When you arrive at the home page from elsewhere, it opens in Turkish, English or Arabic based on your browser's language setting; this setting is not stored. It is hosted on Cloudflare, Inc.'s network. To deliver the site and protect it from attacks, Cloudflare may briefly process technical data such as IP addresses. This is based on our legitimate interest in running the site securely.

If you email us

We use your email address and message only to reply to you, and delete them within a reasonable time once we are done. Our email is handled by Google Workspace.

International transfers

Cloudflare, Apple and Google may process data outside Türkiye. These transfers are made with the safeguards required by applicable law.

Your rights

To use your rights under Article 11 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) and, if you are in the European Union, under the GDPR, write to [email protected]. You may also contact the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority or the data protection authority in your country.

Changes

If we update this policy, we change the date at the top of this page.
