Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Room Games (“we”, “us” or “our”) handles information in connection with this website (roomgames.co) and the games and applications we develop and publish (together, the “Services”). We are an independent game studio and we aim to collect as little personal data as possible.

“Room Games” refers to Room Games Teknoloji Anonim Şirketi (İzmir, Turkey), the company that develops and publishes our games, and — where it still applies — its US affiliate Room Games Inc. (Delaware, USA). The company responsible for our Meta Quest titles, published on the Meta Horizon Store, is Room Games Teknoloji Anonim Şirketi.

1. Who we are

Room Games is an indie game studio based in İzmir, Turkey. The data controller for our games is Room Games Teknoloji Anonim Şirketi (İzmir, Turkey). For any privacy question or request, contact us at [email protected] or [email protected].

Room Games Teknoloji Anonim Şirketi — İzmir, Turkey
Room Games Inc. (US affiliate) — 112 Capitol Trail, Suite A1123, Newark, DE 19711, USA

2. Information we collect

Website. You can browse roomgames.co without creating an account. We do not ask for personal information to view the site. Our host and any privacy-friendly analytics we use may process standard technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages viewed, to keep the site secure and understand aggregate traffic.

Contact. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include, and we use it only to respond to you.

Games. Our games are distributed through third-party platforms, and when you play, the platform processes your account and gameplay data under its own privacy policy. We do not sell your personal data. What our own builds do varies by platform:

PC (Steam). The Steam version of our games includes product analytics using Aptabase, sent to our own self-hosted Aptabase instance, so we can understand how the game is used and improve it (for example: anonymous event and session counts, app version, operating system, and device locale). To group these analytics by country, the game performs an IP lookup: it requests your public IP address from ipify and maps that address to a country using ip-api. We use this only in aggregate to understand our audience; we do not use it to advertise to you, build profiles, or sell data. Under the GDPR (EU/EEA) and KVKK (Turkey), this processing relies on our legitimate interest in measuring and improving the game, and your IP address is used to derive an approximate country rather than to identify you personally.

Meta Quest. Our Meta Quest games are distributed through the Meta Horizon Store. The Meta Quest version of Floor 9 contains no analytics, advertising or tracking software, does not connect to our servers or any third-party service, and stores progress only on your headset. Meta processes your account and purchase data under the Meta Privacy Policy.

Other stores. Where we offer games on other stores (such as Google Play or the Apple App Store), those platforms process your account, purchase and device data under their own privacy policies, and we may receive anonymous or aggregated data (such as download counts and crash reports) to fix bugs and improve our games.

3. How we use information

• To operate, maintain and secure our website and games.
• To diagnose crashes, fix bugs and improve gameplay and performance.
• To respond to your messages and support requests.
• To understand aggregate usage and to comply with legal obligations.

4. Platforms & third-party services

We rely on third parties to distribute and run our Services. Their handling of your data is governed by their own policies, including:

• Valve / Steam Privacy Policy
• Meta (Meta Horizon Store)
• ipify and ip-api (country lookup, Steam version)
• Google (Play, analytics)
• Apple (App Store)

5. Legal bases

Where the GDPR or Turkey’s KVKK applies, we process data on the basis of our legitimate interest in running and improving our Services, your consent where required (for example, optional analytics), and compliance with legal obligations.

6. Data retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. Email correspondence is kept while needed to assist you and is then deleted.

7. Children

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to it. To make a request, email [email protected]. For data held by a platform (such as your Steam account), please also use that platform’s own tools.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to keep data safe.

10. International transfers

We operate from Turkey and use service providers that may process data in other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version here and update the “Last updated” date above.
