PART A — PRIVACY NOTICE
This Privacy Notice contains the information provided by the data controller, in accordance with Article 10 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK") and related legislation, regarding the processing of the personal data of the users of the Tazkir application (the "Application").
1. Identity of the Data Controller

2. Personal Data Processed
Note: In guest (anonymous) use, no identity/contact data is collected; the hadiths you save and your usage preferences are processed by being linked not to your personal identity but to an anonymous user identifier tied to the device.
The data we hold directly (name, email, user identifier, saved hadiths) is used solely for the purpose of operating the Application within the Application; it is not sold or transferred to third parties for advertising/marketing purposes. Advertising (AdMob), analytics (Firebase Analytics), and crash report (Firebase Crashlytics) data is processed by the relevant providers under their own policies.
| Data category | Data |
|---|---|
| Identity / Contact | Name, email address |
| Account security | Password (in hashed/encrypted form; not seen by us), sign-in method, anonymous user identifier |
| Usage and preference | Saved hadiths, language, appearance, font/size, notification preference and time (reading statistics and recently read items are kept on the device only) |
| Device / technical | Notification token (FCM/APNs), time zone, subscription transaction identifier (e.g., originalTransactionId) |
| Analytics / advertising | Device/app information and advertising identifiers processed within the scope of app usage analysis (Firebase Analytics), crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics), and advertising in the Free version (Google AdMob) |
| Subscription / transaction | Pro subscription status, plan, start/end, and renewal information (payment/card information is not processed) |
| Acceptance records | Version/date information of your acceptance of the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and KVKK documents |
3. Purposes of Processing Personal Data
Your personal data is processed for the purposes of creating your account and verifying your identity, synchronizing saved items and preferences across devices, sending the notifications you have requested, activating/verifying/managing the Pro subscription, operating and improving the Application, carrying out usage analysis and crash reporting (Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics), displaying advertisements in the Free version (Google AdMob), managing requests and complaints, and fulfilling legal obligations.
4. Legal Grounds for Processing Personal Data (KVKK Art. 5)

5. Transfer of Personal Data and Transfer Abroad

Because these providers may carry out part of the processing on servers outside Türkiye (e.g., in the United States), your personal data may be transferred abroad within the meaning of Article 9 of the KVKK. That transfer relies on the explicit consent you give by accepting this notice on the Application's sign-in screen.

6. Method of Data Collection
Your personal data is collected by automated and partially automated means in electronic form, while you use the Application, create an account, set preferences, and purchase a subscription.
7. Rights of the Data Subject (KVKK Art. 11)
In accordance with Article 11 of the KVKK, you have the right to: learn whether your personal data is being processed; request information if it has been processed; learn the purpose of the processing and whether the data is used in accordance with that purpose; know the third parties to whom the data is transferred domestically or abroad; request the rectification of data that has been processed incompletely or incorrectly; request the erasure/destruction of data under the conditions provided in the KVKK; request that these actions be notified to the third parties to whom the data has been transferred; object to any result to your detriment arising from the analysis of your data exclusively by automated systems; and claim compensation for any damage you suffer due to unlawful processing.
