Rise of a Teacher — Privacy Policy

Rise of a Teacher is developed and published by Smart Maple Yazilim Teknoloji Limited Sirketi (“Smart Maple”, “we”, “us”), based in Ankara, Türkiye. We are the data controller for personal data processed to operate the game and respond to requests.

This policy explains data handling in the iPhone and iPad game, including its online services and optional advertising. Visiting our website is covered separately by our website privacy policy.

Game saves and settings on your device

Classroom progress, choices, fictional student information, earned rewards, sound preferences and local ad limits are stored in the game’s local files and preferences. The current game does not upload these save files to a cloud-save service. The students and their stories are fictional; the game does not ask you to enter records about real students.

Technical data used by online services

When the game is online, Unity Authentication automatically creates a pseudonymous player identifier, and Unity Remote Config checks settings such as whether rewarded ads are available. These requests involve an IP address, installation identifier, player identifier and platform information. Unity services may also process device/app information, approximate location derived from IP and crash or diagnostic information. Pseudonymous identifiers are technical identifiers, not a promise that no personal data is processed.

These service connections can occur even when advertising is disabled or you do not watch an ad. You do not need to supply a name, email address or password to play. The game does not use Unity Player Accounts, social sign-in or a player-name feature.

Optional advertising

If advertising is enabled and available, the game uses Unity LevelPlay, Unity Ads and the bundled ad-quality component. These services may process IP addresses, installation/device identifiers permitted by the privacy settings, device/app information, ad impressions and interactions, reward events, and performance or diagnostic data. Their purposes include ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and ad-quality monitoring. The data processed depends on the service and the child-directed and privacy settings described below.

Information you send to support

If you contact us, we receive your email address and the message, attachments or other information you choose to provide. Please avoid sending passwords, payment information or unnecessary information about children.

We use the information described above to operate online settings, maintain game functionality, deliver optional ad rewards, diagnose problems, protect the services and answer support or privacy requests. We do not upload classroom save files for advertising profiles.

Where applicable law permits, necessary service and support processing relies on providing the requested service or our legitimate interests in reliable operation and security, subject to your fundamental rights. Records needed for legal duties or legal claims are processed on those grounds. For Türkiye, these grounds correspond, where their conditions are met, to Article 5(2)(c), (f), (ç) and (e) of Law No. 6698. Processing that requires consent must rely on valid consent; opening the game or choosing a reward is not consent to personalized advertising.

Unity receives the technical information needed for Unity Authentication, Services Core and Remote Config. When enabled, Unity LevelPlay/ironSource, Unity Ads and the bundled ad-quality component receive advertising-related technical information. Our email service processes correspondence you send us. Providers act according to their service terms and privacy notices; their role can vary between game services and advertising services.

We require service providers receiving game data to provide the same level of protection described in this policy and required by applicable privacy rules. We do not sell player data. We send a sale/sharing opt-out signal to the advertising integration. Information may also be disclosed when necessary to meet a lawful obligation or protect legal rights.

Unity and other providers may process information outside Türkiye or your country of residence. Cross-border processing is subject to the applicable data-transfer requirements. Contact us for information about the safeguards relevant to your data.

For service-specific details, see:

• Unity Authentication privacy information
• Unity Services Core data disclosures
• Unity Remote Config privacy information
• Unity game-player privacy policy, including advertising

Watching a rewarded video is optional. When an eligible offer is available, completing it may reveal a hidden fictional student trait. Core gameplay does not require watching advertisements, and declining an offer does not stop you from playing.

The current integration is configured for contextual advertising, with personalization consent set to false, child-directed signals enabled for all players, and advertising-identifier and sale/sharing opt-out settings. The iOS game does not request App Tracking Transparency permission. These settings do not remove the technical data needed to run online services or deliver and check advertisements.

Not watching ads does not stop Unity Authentication or Remote Config connections, or necessarily prevent advertising services from processing data when they initialize. The game currently has no in-game switch that disables all online data processing.

The game is designed for ages 7 and above and may be played by children. It does not ask players for their real name, date of birth, email address or information about real students. The current game has no age gate, so its advertising integration applies the child-directed configuration to every player rather than trying to determine individual ages.

Technical identifiers and service information described in this policy can still be processed. Parents or guardians may contact us to ask about their child’s information or request access or deletion. If you believe information about a child has been processed improperly, please contact us so we can investigate and take the action required by applicable law.

Local game saves and preferences remain in the app’s device storage until they are replaced or the app’s data is removed. Deleting the app generally removes its local data; device or cloud backups are controlled separately by you and your platform provider. Replacing a game save does not necessarily remove all preferences or technical identifiers.

Uninstalling the game does not automatically delete records held by Unity or other providers. Unity Authentication records and advertising records follow their service-specific retention and deletion practices in the linked notices. Unity’s Remote Config documentation states that Remote Config does not retain personal data; this does not mean that separate Authentication or advertising records are deleted.

We retain support correspondence only as needed to address the request, resolve related issues and satisfy applicable legal obligations or claims. To request deletion of information held by us or in connection with the game’s services, contact the address below. We may need limited information to locate the relevant pseudonymous service record. We will explain if a record cannot be identified or if a legal requirement prevents immediate deletion.

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may request information about processing, access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability; object to certain processing; or withdraw consent where processing relies on it. You may also complain to the competent data protection authority.

In Türkiye, Article 11 of Law No. 6698 includes rights to learn whether and why data is processed, learn recipients, request correction or deletion and notification to recipients, object to adverse results from solely automated analysis, and seek compensation for unlawful processing.

Send requests to info@smart-maple.com or our postal address below. We may verify your authority to make a request, including parental authority, using information proportionate to the request. We respond within the period required by applicable law.

The current game does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, photos or precise device location. Approximate location inferred by service providers from IP addresses is different from GPS access.

Game files use the device’s app storage, and online service access uses the providers’ authentication and security mechanisms. No device, transmission method or online service is completely secure.

We may update this policy when the game, its providers or data practices change. The latest version will be available on this page with an updated date. Where required, material changes will be communicated separately and consent obtained before new processing that requires it.
