WoDue

Your account

WoDue is an online game. When you first open it, the server creates a player account for you, even if you play as a guest and never add an email address.

You can optionally link an email address. We send a one-time code to that address to confirm it, and later to restore your account on another device. WoDue does not ask for a password, and there is no Apple or Google sign-in.

What the server stores

To run the game, the server keeps the following with your account:

• Your player ID and sign-in session data.
• The display name you choose and the avatar you pick.
• Your email address, if you link one, and the one-time code requests used to confirm it.
• Your game progress, match results, scores and match times.
• League placement, league points and badges.
• Friends, friend requests, friend codes and match invites.
• Bonuses and hints you own, and how you use them.
• Records used to verify purchases.
• A device notification token, if you allow notifications.

The app may also keep a copy of some of this data on your device so it works smoothly. Like any online service, the server processes technical connection data, such as your IP address, to deliver the game and protect it from abuse.

Why it is used

This data is used to run your account and matches, keep leagues and friend lists, restore your account when you sign in with your email, grant what you bought or earned, send the notifications you allowed, keep the service secure, and answer your support requests. It is not sold.

What other players see

Other players can see your display name, your avatar, and match and league information such as results and standings. Your email address is never shown to other players.

Purchases

Purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. WoDue never receives your payment card details. To grant what you bought, the server checks the transaction information Apple provides and records the result with your account.

During the beta, items from Apple’s test (sandbox) purchases are kept separate from real purchased items. Your account and progress are the same in both cases.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, the app sends your device’s push token to the server so it can notify you through Apple’s push notification service, for example about invites or results. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device’s Settings.

Advertising and analytics

This beta version of WoDue does not show ads, and optional ad measurement is off. The game does not use a separate analytics service. If ads are added later, this policy and any required consent prompts will be updated before ads are turned on.

This website has its own anonymous page analytics, described in the site footer. That is separate from the game and does not include your game data.

Service providers

WoDue relies on a small number of providers to run the service:

• A hosting provider for the game server and its database.
• Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES) to send one-time email codes.
• Apple, for App Store purchases and push notifications.
• Backblaze (B2), to store private database backups and the separate minimal deletion records used during recovery.

These providers process data only to provide their part of the service.

Security

The app talks to the server over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Access to the server and its backups is limited to the developer. Backups are stored privately. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data.

Keeping and deleting data

Account data is kept while your account exists. You can request deletion in Ayarlar › Hesabım › Hesabı sil (Settings › My Account › Delete account). While a deletion request is being completed, access to that account is restricted. If the process cannot finish safely, it remains pending until it can be retried.

Once deletion is complete, your email link and account recovery records, sign-in sessions, friends, invites, notification tokens, display name, avatar and friend code are removed. Your personal match history is removed and open matches are closed. Other players can still see shared match results and league records under “Eski oyuncu” (former player), without your former name or avatar.

Purchase, bonus, league and shared match records may remain linked to a closed player ID to preserve transaction integrity and other players’ records. These identifiers are not the same as fully anonymous data. We keep a separate minimal deletion record, including the player ID and deletion time, to prevent an account from being restored from an older backup. This record has no automatic expiry and is kept for recovery safeguards.

Scheduled database backups are normally removed after 30 days. Cleanup is deferred if a recent verified backup is unavailable, so that period can be longer. Manual, pre-release and verification backups are managed separately and are not covered by this automatic 30-day cleanup. Backups are not edited individually after account deletion; recovery safeguards reapply completed deletions before a restored database is used.

To ask about retained records or request removal, email support@kadirkasim.com.

Signing out and guest accounts

Signing out does not delete your account on the server. You can return to it by signing in with the same email address. A guest account has to be linked to an email address before you can sign out.

If you delete the app or change devices without linking an email, you may lose access to your guest account. When you switch from a guest account to an existing linked account, the guest’s progress is not merged into it.

Children

WoDue is not designed specifically for children.
