This policy explains what personal data Parodie Games collects when you visit parodiegames.com, why, and what rights you have under Turkish data protection law (KVKK) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. Who we are
The data controller is Parodie Games Oyun Teknolojileri Anonim Şirketi, a company registered in Ankara, Türkiye (Ankara Trade Registry no. 522780).
Address: Kızılırmak Mah. 1443 Cad. No: 25B İç Kapı No: 8, Çankaya / Ankara, Türkiye
Email for privacy requests: info@parodiegames.com
2. What this policy covers
This policy covers the website parodiegames.com only. Our games are distributed through Steam; data processed while you buy or play them is governed by Valve’s Steam Privacy Policy. Links on this site to Steam, YouTube, Discord, X, LinkedIn and impress.games lead to services with their own privacy policies.
3. What we collect and why
We collect very little. The site has no accounts, no newsletter and no analytics.
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| IP address, browser type, pages visited, time of visit (server logs) | Every visit | Keeping the site running and secure, detecting abuse |
| Technical cookies set by our hosting cache (LiteSpeed) | Every visit | Serving pages faster; they hold no personal information |
| Your name, email address and the content of your message | When you email us | Replying to your request (press, support, collaboration) |
| Data handled by YouTube when you press play on a trailer | Only after you click play | Showing the video; we use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode, which sets no cookies before you play |
We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling.
4. Legal basis
Under KVKK Article 5 and GDPR Article 6, we rely on:
- Legitimate interest for server logs and technical cookies: operating a secure, working website.
- Your request when you email us: we need your details to reply.
- Legal obligation where a law requires us to keep or disclose records.
We do not rely on consent for anything on this site, so there is nothing you need to opt in to.
5. Who we share data with
We share data only with providers that run the site for us, and only what they need:
| Provider | Role | Where data is processed |
|---|---|---|
| Hostinger | Web hosting and server logs | European Union (Germany; backups in France) |
| Google (YouTube) | Trailer playback, after you click play | United States and EU |
| Google (Gmail) | Our email mailbox | United States and EU |
Some of these providers are outside Türkiye and the EU. Transfers rely on the provider’s standard contractual clauses and, for Türkiye, on the safeguards required by KVKK Article 9. We never hand personal data to anyone else unless a court or authority lawfully requires it.
6. How long we keep data
- Server logs: deleted automatically by our host within 30 days.
- Emails you send us: kept as long as the conversation is active, then up to 2 years in case you come back, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
- Technical cookies: expire when you close your browser or within a few days.
7. Cookies
This site uses only strictly necessary cookies, which is why you do not see a cookie banner.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| litespeed_* / _lscache_vary | Hostinger (LiteSpeed Cache) | Serves cached pages correctly | Session to 2 days |
| YouTube cookies | YouTube, only after you click play on a trailer | Video playback and YouTube’s own analytics | Set by YouTube, see their policy |
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works without them. If we ever add analytics or marketing cookies, we will add a consent banner and update this section first.
8. Your rights
Under KVKK Article 11 and GDPR Articles 15–22 you can ask us, at any time and free of charge, to:
- tell you whether we hold personal data about you, and give you a copy;
- correct data that is wrong or incomplete;
- delete your data;
- restrict or object to how we use it;
- hand your data over in a machine-readable format;
- tell you who we have shared it with.
To use any of these rights, email press@parodiegames.com from the address you want us to check. We answer within 30 days. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK Kurumu, kvkk.gov.tr) or, if you live in the EU, to your national data protection authority.
9. Children
This website is not aimed at children under 13 (under 16 in some EU countries) and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, email us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
When we change how the site handles data, we update this page and the date below. Significant changes will be announced on the site.
