GDPR

GDPR

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you have clear rights over your personal data. This page summarises how we apply the GDPR; the full details are in our privacy policy.

Who we are

This privacy policy explains how puzzleworld.fun (“we”) processes personal data. The data controller is PuzzleWorld (puzzleworld.fun), —. Contact: lavukindustries@gmail.com.

We comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK).

Purposes and legal bases

Saving game data and analytics are based on your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a); KVKK Art. 5(1) explicit consent) and on Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. The global ranking is part of the same consent (“Game progress & scores”).

Server logs are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in running a secure website (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f); KVKK Art. 5(2)(f)).

Recipients and international transfers

Our hosting provider processes server logs on our behalf. If you accept analytics, data is processed by Google Ireland Ltd. and Google LLC (USA). The global ranking runs on our own server at our hosting provider and is not shared with third parties.

Transfers to the USA rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses. For transfers under KVKK Art. 9, we rely on your explicit consent given in the cookie banner. You can refuse analytics without any disadvantage.

How long we keep data

Server logs: at most 14 days. Analytics data: 14 months in Google Analytics. Game data in your browser: until you delete it, clear your browser data or withdraw consent — withdrawal deletes it immediately. Ranking data on our server (hashed ID, points, streak, solved puzzles): until you withdraw consent, or at most 24 months after your last activity.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and port your data, to object to processing and to withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future (GDPR Art. 15–21; KVKK Art. 11).

You can change your choices at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer. To exercise your rights, write to lavukindustries@gmail.com. You may also complain to a supervisory authority — in the EU, the authority in your country; in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK).
