Legal bases
Performance of our contract with you (providing the Game), legitimate interests (security, cheat prevention, improving the service), legal obligations, and your consent where required (e.g. notifications, personalised ads).
Who we share data with
We do not sell your data. We share it only with service providers needed to run the Game:
- Hosting: Contabo GmbH (Germany, EU).
- Google: Firebase Cloud Messaging (notifications), Sign in with Google, Google AdMob and the ad networks it mediates (e.g. AppLovin), Google Play (purchases and install referrer).
- Apple: App Store purchases, Apple Push Notification service.
- Email delivery provider: verification and password reset codes.
Some providers process data outside Turkey (EU and USA) under appropriate safeguards. We may also disclose data to authorities when legally required.
Other players can see your in-game name, avatar, city, guild, power, rankings, battle reports and the messages you send them. Shared battle report links open a public web page.

- Battle reports: PvP and Hades battles are kept permanently, others 7 days.
