Privacy Policy for Old Market Simulator

ALCEDO GAMES YAZILIM TEKNOLOJİLERİ ANONİM ŞİRKETİ ("ALCEDO GAMES," "we," "us," or "our") operates Old Market Simulator (the "Game").

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with the Game.

1. Who We Are

2. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to Old Market Simulator made available on platforms including:

• Steam
• PlayStation
• Xbox
• Apple App Store
• Google Play

3. Information We Collect

We do not collect personal data directly for our own:

• analytics
• advertising
• crash reporting
• marketing mailing lists
• custom account system

We do not provide in-game advertising.

We do not offer direct user account registration with ALCEDO GAMES.

We do not operate our own custom cloud save service.

4. Third-Party Services and Platform Processing

Although we do not directly collect player data for the purposes listed above, the Game uses third-party platform and online services that may process information as necessary to provide their functionality.

These may include:

• platform providers and storefronts such as Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Apple, and Google
• Epic Online Services for online multiplayer features

These third parties may process information such as platform account identifiers, device or network information, purchase or entitlement status, session-related information, and other technical data required to operate their services under their own privacy policies.

5. Epic Online Services

We use Epic Online Services to support certain online multiplayer features.

For Old Market Simulator, this includes:

• Connect / authentication
• lobbies
• peer-to-peer networking

When you use online multiplayer features, Epic Online Services may process technical and service-related data necessary to authenticate players, establish multiplayer sessions, support lobby functionality, and enable peer-to-peer connectivity.

We do not use Epic Online Services for advertising, analytics, or marketing.

6. Steam and Other Platform Features

Where supported, the Game may rely on platform-provided functionality rather than services operated by us directly.

This includes:

• platform account systems
• platform purchases and entitlements
• platform networking features
• platform cloud save features, where applicable
• Steam peer-to-peer networking, where applicable

We do not independently control the data practices of those platform providers. Their handling of data is governed by their own privacy notices and terms.

7. How We Use Information

To the extent we receive or process limited information in operating the Game, we use it only as necessary to:

• provide the Game
• enable online multiplayer functionality
• maintain service functionality, integrity, and security
• comply with legal obligations

Because we do not run our own analytics, advertising, crash reporting, newsletter, or direct account system, we do not use player data for those purposes.

8. Legal Bases

Where applicable, we process information on the following legal bases:

• performance of a contract, to provide the Game and its online features
• legitimate interests, to maintain functionality, security, and service integrity
• compliance with legal obligations

Where third-party providers process data for their own purposes, their own legal bases and privacy policies apply.

9. Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal data.

We may share limited information only where necessary with:

• Epic Online Services, to provide multiplayer and related online functionality
• platform providers and storefront operators, to provide platform and purchase-related functionality
• legal authorities or other parties, where required by law or necessary to protect rights, security, or the Game

10. Data Retention

Because we do not operate our own analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, newsletter, or custom account systems, we do not retain those categories of player data ourselves.

If we are required to retain limited records for legal, security, or compliance reasons, we will keep them only for as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes.

Third-party platforms and service providers may retain data according to their own policies.

11. Children’s Privacy

Old Market Simulator is rated 4+ on certain platforms. However, we do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children.

The Game may use third-party platform and online services for account, purchase, and multiplayer functionality. Parents and guardians should review the privacy practices of the relevant platform provider and Epic Online Services before allowing children to use online features.

If you believe we have received personal data from a child in a way that is inconsistent with applicable law, contact us at info@alcedogames.com.

12. International Transfers

The Game may be distributed and operated through international service providers and platform operators. As a result, information processed in connection with platform services or online multiplayer may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the user’s country of residence.

Those transfers are governed by the relevant third-party provider’s own privacy practices and safeguards.

13. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to:

• request access
• request correction
• request deletion
• object to or restrict certain processing
• withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis
• lodge a complaint with a competent authority

If your request relates to data processed directly by us, contact us at info@alcedogames.com.

If your request relates to data processed by Epic Online Services or a platform provider such as Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Apple, or Google, you should contact the relevant provider directly.

14. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect any limited information we may process directly.

However, many online, networking, purchase, and platform features are provided through third-party services and infrastructure, and those providers are responsible for the security of their own systems.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

If we make material changes, we will post the updated version and revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Game after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means the updated Privacy Policy applies.
