Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Yakup Acis ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data when you use the Cosmie mobile application and related services (collectively, the "App") on iOS and Android.
We are the data controller for the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the veri sorumlusu for the purposes of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK).
- Controller: Yakup Acis
- Address: İstanbul, Türkiye
- Contact / privacy requests: cosmieapp@gmail.com
1. Scope
This Policy applies to personal data we process when you download, register for, or use the App. It does not cover third-party services that operate under their own privacy policies (see Section 6).
2. What data we collect
We collect only the data needed to run the App. We do not collect precise location, contacts, photos from your library, camera data, or advertising identifiers (IDFA/AAID), and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
2.1 Account and profile data
- Authentication identifiers. You sign in with Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In. From these providers we receive a unique account identifier and your email address (which may be a private relay address if you use Apple). We do not receive your social account password.
- Profile information you provide. Username, selected avatar (a preset image, not an uploaded photo), and onboarding preferences (e.g., focus goals) you choose during setup.
2.2 Activity and usage data
- Focus sessions. Session durations, start/completion, focus stages, streaks, completed "planets", and in-app virtual currency ("coins") balances and transactions.
- In-app content. "Universes" you create or join, universe names, memberships, and invitations you send or receive.
- Social data. Friend connections, friend requests, leaderboard rankings, and presence/online status shown to other users you interact with.
2.3 Purchase and subscription data
- Subscription status. Whether you have an active premium subscription and related entitlement data, processed through RevenueCat and the Apple App Store / Google Play billing systems. We do not receive or store your full payment card details; payment is handled by the app store.
2.4 Device and technical data
- Push notification token. A device push token (via Apple Push Notification service / Firebase Cloud Messaging) so we can send you notifications (e.g., friend requests, universe invites, session events).
- Diagnostic and analytics data. App usage events, feature interactions, and basic technical information (device model, OS version, app version, coarse region/language) collected through Firebase Analytics and Firebase In-App Messaging to understand, improve and communicate within the App.
3. How and why we use your data, and legal bases
| Purpose | Data used | GDPR legal basis | KVKK basis |

| Create and manage your account, authenticate you | Account/profile data | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) | Necessary for performance of a contract (Art. 5/2-c) |
| Provide core features (focus sessions, planets, universes, friends, leaderboards) | Activity, social, profile data | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) | Art. 5/2-c |
| Send push notifications you enable | Push token, activity data | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) / legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) | Explicit consent / legitimate interest (Art. 5/2-f) |
| Process subscriptions and verify entitlements | Purchase/subscription data | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) | Art. 5/2-c |

| Comply with legal obligations | As required | Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) | Art. 5/2-ç |
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time (e.g., by disabling notifications in your device settings or contacting us). Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.
4. Social features and visibility
The App includes social features. Your username, avatar, streaks, completed planets, leaderboard position, and online status may be visible to friends and to members of universes you join. Do not include sensitive personal information in your username or universe names.
5. Analytics and notifications choices
- Notifications: You can disable push notifications at any time in your device's system settings.
- Analytics: Where required by law, we ask for your consent before non-essential analytics. You can also limit some collection through your device's privacy settings.
6. Who we share data with (sub-processors and third parties)
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers that process it on our behalf, or where required by law:
| Recipient | Purpose | More info |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Backend hosting, database, authentication | supabase.com/privacy |
| Google Firebase (Cloud Messaging, Analytics, In-App Messaging) | Push notifications, analytics, in-app messages | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |

| Google (Google Sign-In, Google Play) | Authentication, billing | policies.google.com/privacy |
We may also disclose data to comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms, or protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the public.
7. International data transfers
Our service providers may process data outside your country, including outside Türkiye and the European Economic Area (e.g., in the United States). Where we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and, for transfers from Türkiye, the mechanisms permitted under KVKK Article 9 (including your explicit consent or the applicable commitments/adequacy conditions).
8. Data retention
We keep personal data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the App. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where we must retain certain data to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. Aggregated or anonymized data that can no longer identify you may be retained.
9. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you;
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data;
- Erase your data ("right to be forgotten");
- Restrict or object to processing;
- Data portability (receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format);
- Withdraw consent at any time;
- Not be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects (we do not carry out such processing).
Under KVKK Article 11, you additionally have the right to learn whether your data is processed, request information about the processing, learn its purpose and whether it is used accordingly, and request notification of corrections/erasure to third parties.
To exercise any right, contact us at cosmieapp@gmail.com. We respond within the timeframes required by law (generally 30 days under GDPR and KVKK). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority — in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK Kurumu); in the EU, your national Data Protection Authority.
10. Account deletion
You can request deletion of your account and associated personal data from within the App or by contacting cosmieapp@gmail.com. Deleting your account removes your profile, activity, and social data as described in Section 8.
11. Children's privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the higher minimum age required in your country, e.g., 16 in some EU member states). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below the applicable age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Security
We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and reliance on reputable infrastructure providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, provide notice within the App. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.

- Managing and canceling. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription.
- Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their respective policies. Where mandatory consumer law (including EU/Türkiye consumer protection rules) grants you withdrawal or refund rights, those rights are not affected by this section.
- Price changes. We may change subscription prices; changes apply to future billing periods and, where required, with prior notice and/or your consent.
5. Virtual items and currency
In-app coins and virtual items have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for real money or transferred outside the App, and are licensed to you (not sold). Except where required by law, purchases of virtual items are final and non-refundable. We may modify, manage, or discontinue virtual items at any time.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
- Harass, abuse, impersonate, or harm other users;
- Choose usernames or universe names that are offensive, infringing, deceptive, or that impersonate others;
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, other users' accounts, or our systems;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or interfere with the App except to the extent permitted by law;
- Use bots, cheats, or exploits to manipulate sessions, coins, streaks, or leaderboards;
- Upload or transmit malware or disrupt the integrity or performance of the App.
We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
7. User content
You are responsible for content you create (such as usernames and universe names). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, and display such content solely to operate and provide the App. You represent that your content does not infringe the rights of others.
8. Social features
The App enables interactions with other users (friends, universes, leaderboards) and displays certain information about you (see the Privacy Policy). You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users. We are not responsible for the conduct of any user.
9. Intellectual property
The App, including its software, design, graphics, planets, and branding, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
10. Third-party services
The App relies on third-party services (including Apple, Google, Supabase, Firebase, and RevenueCat). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.
11. Termination
You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g., intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law) will survive.
12. Disclaimers
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. The App is a productivity tool and is not a medical, health, or professional service.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including your mandatory statutory consumer rights.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the App or violation of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts and enforcement offices of İstanbul, Türkiye shall have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence (including EU consumer rights), and you may also bring proceedings in your local courts where applicable law so provides.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, provide notice within the App. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
17. Apple- and Google-specific terms
- Apple. These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent the App is provided through the App Store, the standard Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA) also applies, and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with the right to enforce them.
- Google. Where the App is provided through Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.
