We do not use custom player images or locally stored career files for advertising profiling.
5. Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process personal information based on one or more of the following:
Consent
We rely on consent where required for personalized advertising, advertising identifiers, Google Analytics Advertising Features, or similar technologies.
You may withdraw your consent through the App’s privacy settings or your device settings where available.
Performance of a Contract
Some processing is necessary to provide the App, process purchases, restore entitlements, and respond to requests connected with the Service.
Legitimate Interests
We may process limited information for legitimate interests such as:
- Maintaining App security and stability
- Fixing crashes and technical problems
- Improving gameplay and performance
- Preventing fraud or misuse
- Responding to support messages
We consider the impact of this processing on users and limit the information used where reasonably possible.
Legal Obligation
We may process or retain information when necessary to comply with applicable law, tax requirements, lawful government requests, or legal claims.
6. Advertising, Consent, and Privacy Choices
The App uses Google’s User Messaging Platform, also known as UMP, to present consent or privacy messages where required.
Depending on your country, you may be given options relating to:
- Personalized advertising
- Non-personalized or contextual advertising
- Advertising measurement
- Storage or access of device information
- Advertising partners
- Sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law
Rejecting personalized advertising does not prevent you from using the App. Advertisements may still be displayed, but they may be contextual, non-personalized, or otherwise limited.
When required by the consent framework, you may reopen the consent controls from the App’s Privacy Settings or Manage Privacy Options section.
The permanent Privacy Policy button and the consent management controls serve different purposes. The Privacy Policy button opens this document, while Manage Privacy Options allows you to review or change applicable consent choices.
iOS App Tracking Transparency
On iOS, the App may display Apple’s App Tracking Transparency permission request before an advertising identifier is accessed for tracking purposes.
If you deny this permission:
- The App will remain usable.
- The iOS IDFA will not be made available to the App for tracking.
- You may still see contextual, non-personalized, or limited advertisements.
- You can change the permission later through the iOS Settings application.
Apple App Tracking Transparency information: developer.apple.com/documentation/apptrackingtransparency
Device Advertising Controls
You may also manage advertising preferences through:
- Your Android privacy or advertising settings
- Your iOS Privacy and Security settings
- Your Google Account advertising settings
- Apple tracking permission settings
- The consent message displayed within the App
Resetting or deleting an advertising identifier may not delete information previously processed by an independent advertising provider.
7. Analytics and Google Signals
On Android, we use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand App usage and improve Football Player. Google Analytics Advertising Features, including Google Signals, may be used only where applicable consent and platform settings allow them.
On iOS and iPadOS, Firebase Analytics collection and Google Analytics advertising-personalization signals are disabled. Firebase Crashlytics remains enabled for crash reports and technical diagnostics, but it is not used for advertising or cross-app tracking.
This may provide aggregated reports about:
- Approximate age ranges
- Gender
- General interests
- Cross-device usage patterns
- Advertising and audience performance
Reports made available to ATEA Games are aggregated and are not intended to directly identify individual users.
You can control Google advertising personalization through your Google Account or device advertising settings.
Google Analytics Retention
For Android analytics data, our current Google Analytics retention settings are:
- Event data: 2 months
- User data: 14 months
- Reset retention period on new activity: Enabled
Age, gender, and interest information associated with Google Signals is retained for up to 2 months, regardless of other user-property retention settings.
Google Analytics retention settings generally apply to user-level and event-level data. Aggregated standard reports may be retained for longer because they are not affected by the same retention control.

8. Third-Party Services
The App uses third-party services that may process personal information according to their own terms and privacy policies.
Service providers that process personal information on our behalf are required to protect it in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Third parties acting as independent data controllers are responsible for their own processing activities under their respective privacy policies.
10. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Analytics Data
The following retention periods apply to Android analytics data. Firebase Analytics collection is disabled on iOS and iPadOS.
- Google Analytics event data is retained for 2 months.
- Google Analytics user data is retained for 14 months.
- The user-data retention period resets when new activity occurs.
- Google Signals age, gender, and interest information is retained for up to 2 months.
- Aggregated reports may be retained for longer.
Crash Reports
Firebase Crashlytics generally retains crash information for 90 days before the removal process begins, subject to Firebase’s service operation and policies.
Bug Reports and Support Messages
Bug reports and support correspondence are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to investigate, respond to, and resolve the relevant issue.
They are periodically reviewed and deleted or anonymized when no longer needed.
Information may be retained for longer where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, prevent abuse, meet tax or accounting obligations, or comply with applicable law.
Local Game Data
Locally stored game data generally remains on your device until you:
- Delete it through an available in-game option
- Clear the App’s data
- Delete the relevant file
- Uninstall the App
Copies may remain in platform-controlled device backups according to your Apple or Google backup settings.
11. International Data Transfers
ATEA Games is based in Türkiye, while our service providers may process information in other countries, including the United States and countries where their servers or personnel are located.
These countries may have privacy laws different from those in your country.
Where required, international transfers are handled using recognized legal safeguards, contractual protections, adequacy decisions, or other lawful transfer mechanisms provided by the relevant service provider.
12. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse.
These measures include limiting the information collected, using reputable service providers, using encrypted network connections where supported, and restricting access to support and diagnostic information.
No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through support emails or attachments.
13. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of information
- Request restriction of processing
- Object to certain processing
- Withdraw consent
- Request data portability
- Opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing where applicable
- Submit a complaint to a competent data protection authority
- Exercise your rights without unlawful discrimination
You may submit a privacy request to: gulerbaris2000@gmail.com
We may need to request reasonable information to verify your request and protect users against fraudulent requests.
Because Football Player does not require an ATEA Games account, we may not always be able to associate analytics or advertising data with a specific person.
Some data may be controlled directly by Google, Unity, Yandex, Apple, or another independent provider. In such cases, you may need to exercise your rights directly with that provider.
You may also remove locally stored game information by deleting App data or uninstalling the App, subject to platform-controlled backups.
14. California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of California and certain other U.S. states may have additional rights, including the right to:
- Know what categories of personal information are collected
- Request access, correction, or deletion
- Know the categories of third parties receiving information
- Opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising
- Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, where applicable
- Exercise privacy rights without discrimination
ATEA Games does not sell personal information for money.
Advertising-related transfers may nevertheless qualify as sharing or targeted advertising under some state laws.
Applicable opt-out choices can be exercised through the App’s privacy options or device advertising settings.
15. Children’s Privacy
Football Player is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children under 13 or to children below the applicable minimum age of digital consent.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children below the applicable minimum age.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at: gulerbaris2000@gmail.com
We will review the request and take appropriate steps to delete the information where required.
Age restrictions and parental consent requirements may vary by country.

The App may contain links to external services such as:
- This Privacy Policy
- Discord

- App store pages
- Other ATEA Games pages
These links open only after you choose to interact with them.
ATEA Games does not automatically link your in-game identity or career information to Discord, Patreon, or other external services.
