Privacy Notice
This notice explains what Soccerankia Online Match stores about you and why. It is short because the game collects very little.
What we store
An account consists of a generated username, a hashed password, and a hashed single-use recovery code. We do not ask for or store an email address, a real name, or any other contact detail.
For each match you finish we store the result and your line in it: goals, assists, shots, passes, tackles, saves, distance covered, your rating and the experience you earned. We also keep lifetime totals and your character's attributes and level.
Your browser's IP address is used transiently for rate limiting and appears in server access logs. It is not linked to your account record.
Guest play
You can play without registering. A guest account is a real account row flagged as a guest, with a generated username and no password you ever see.
Experience earned as a guest is held in a server-side cache for 24 hours so that it can be claimed if you register. Guest accounts that have not been used for 30 days are deleted automatically, along with everything attached to them.
Why we store it
To let you sign back in, to run matches and show scoreboards, to keep your progression between sessions, and to stop abuse such as automated sign-ups.
Who we share it with
No analytics provider, no advertising network, no crash reporter and no third-party font or script. The only company that touches your data is the hosting provider that runs our servers, described in the next section. Other players in your match see your display name, your position and your match statistics, which is the point of a multiplayer game.
Where it is stored, and transfer abroad
The game runs on a server rented from Contabo GmbH (Germany), and the database sits on that same server. That server is in the European Union, outside Türkiye, so your account row and your match records are stored and processed abroad.
Under Article 9 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) that is a transfer abroad, and we would rather tell you plainly than let you discover it. What travels is the short list above: a generated username, a password hash, and what happened in your matches. There is no identity document, no address, no telephone number, no payment detail and no special category of personal data, because the game never asks for any of it.
The hosting provider processes the data only to run the service for us; it is not a recipient in its own right. Nothing is sold, shared for advertising, or handed to anyone else. The consent you give when you create an account covers this transfer, and if you would rather it did not, you can delete your account at any time from the data rights page.
How long we keep it
Registered accounts are kept until you delete them. Guest accounts are deleted after 30 days of inactivity. Deleting your account removes your attributes, progression, lifetime statistics and match lines immediately and permanently.
