Effective date: 1 November 2026
Privacy Policy
This policy explains how the Hatırlat app collects, uses and protects your personal data in accordance with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, Law No. 6698). By using the app you accept this policy.
1. Data Controller
- Name: Ömer Bilgin
- Email: omer@bilginstudios.com
- Website: bilginstudios.com
2. Data Collected
Hatırlat does not require account creation. No personal identification information (name, email, phone number) is collected.
- Contacts data: With your explicit permission, names and birthday information from your contacts are processed on-device. This data is never sent to our servers; it is stored only on your device.
- Event data: Events you create (birthdays, anniversaries, bills, appointments, custom reminders) are stored locally on your device. They are not sent to any server.
- Notification preferences: Reminder times, frequencies and notification settings are stored on your device only.
- Anonymous device ID: A randomly generated, non-identifying ID stored on your device to measure distinct device usage. This is not Apple IDFA or Google GAID.
- Usage statistics: Platform (iOS/Android), OS version, app version, device model and selected theme are sent to our servers at most once per day.
- Device info: Basic device information is sent to Expo servers for over-the-air (OTA) updates.
- In-app purchase data: Purchase receipts are processed through Apple App Store / Google Play for subscription and purchase verification. No payment card information is collected by us.
3. Legal Basis and Purpose (KVKK Art. 5)
- Explicit consent: Accepted upon first use of the app. Contacts access additionally requires device-level permission.
- Legitimate interest: App improvement, anonymous analytics.
- Performance of the contract: Delivering in-app purchases and subscriptions.
4. Data Sharing
Your data is not shared with, sold to or rented to third parties.
The app uses no ad network or third-party analytics SDK (Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Facebook SDK, etc.). Anonymous usage statistics are sent only to our own servers (bilginstudios.com).
In-app purchase verification is handled by Apple / Google; purchase receipts are shared only with the respective platform.
Expo (expo.dev) infrastructure is used for app updates. Basic device information is sent to Expo servers. Data may be shared with authorities only where legally required.
5. Data Retention and Security
Since the app does not collect personal identification data, no personal records are stored on our servers. Anonymous statistics are retained for up to 24 months for trend analysis.
All event data, contacts information and notification settings are stored only on your device and are never transmitted to any server.
6. Children's Privacy
The app does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. Since no account creation or personal information is required, the app can be used by all ages. Parents can control app access through device-level parental controls.
7. User Rights (KVKK Art. 11)
Under KVKK, you have the following rights:
- Learn whether your personal data is being processed
- Request information about the processing if it has been done
- Learn the purpose of processing and whether data is used in accordance with its purpose
- Know the third parties to whom data is transferred domestically or abroad
- Request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data
- Request deletion or destruction of data
- Object to a result produced against you through analysis of data exclusively by automated systems
- Request compensation for damages caused by unlawful processing
Since this app does not collect personal identification data, most of these rights may not be applicable in practice. Local data on your device is automatically erased when you uninstall the app.
8. Data Deletion
Since the app does not require an account, there is no account to delete. To remove all local data, simply uninstall the app from your device.
To request deletion of anonymous analytics data associated with your device ID, contact us at omer@bilginstudios.com with your device ID (found in the app's settings).
9. Policy Changes
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. Significant changes are announced in-app. The current policy is always accessible from within the app and at bilginstudios.com.
