DUSKSHORE: Coastal CourierPrivacy Policy

This policy explains what information the DUSKSHORE game ("the Game") collects, why, and what choices you have. It applies to every version of the Game, including those distributed through the Epic Games Store and Steam. The privacy policy for the ma2e.studio website is published separately at ma2e.studio/gizlilik-politikasi.

1. Who is responsible for your data

MA2E Studio, run by Mehmet Ali Eren Ekşi in Türkiye, is the data controller for the information described below. For any privacy question or request, email hello@ma2e.studio.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Epic Account Services

If you sign in with your Epic Games account, Epic Games shares the following with the Game, only with your permission:

• your Epic Account ID (a unique identifier), and
• your display name.

The Game uses this information only to identify your account inside the Game, for example to keep your progress, achievements and entitlements linked to your account. We do not receive your email address, password, payment details, real name or friends list from Epic Games.

2.2 Steam

If you play on Steam, Valve provides the Game with your Steam ID and persona name to support Steam features such as achievements and Steam Cloud saves. We do not receive your email address, password or payment details from Valve.

2.3 Game data

Save files and settings (graphics, audio, controls and language) are stored locally on your device. If you enable Steam Cloud or Epic cloud saves, the platform syncs these files under its own privacy policy. We do not run our own game servers and do not store your save files on servers we control.

2.4 Crash reports

If the Game crashes, a crash report may be created, containing technical information such as the error log, Game version, operating system and hardware details. A report is sent only if you choose to send it, and it is used only to fix bugs.

2.5 What we do not collect

The Game does not show advertising, use advertising IDs or contain third-party analytics or tracking tools. It does not collect your precise location, contacts, microphone or camera data. There is no in-game chat or user-generated content.

3. How we use information

We use the information above only to:

• run the Game and keep your progress tied to your account,
• provide platform features (achievements, cloud saves, entitlements), and
• diagnose and fix technical problems.

Our legal bases are performance of a contract (providing the Game you obtained) and legitimate interest (keeping the Game stable and secure). We never sell or rent your information, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling.

4. Sharing

We share information only with:

• Epic Games, Inc. and Valve Corporation, as the platforms through which you use the Game. Their own privacy policies govern how they process your data: Epic Games Privacy Policy · Steam Privacy Policy
• authorities, if required by law.

Because these platform providers operate outside Türkiye, using these features may involve international data transfer.

5. Retention

Data stored on your device stays there until you delete the Game or its save files. Crash reports are kept for up to 12 months and then deleted. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to answer your request, and for no more than 2 years.

6. Your rights and how to delete your data

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK, Article 11), the EU/UK GDPR or other laws. These include the right to access, correct or delete your data, to object to or restrict processing, and to complain to a supervisory authority (in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Authority, KVKK).

To delete data associated with the Game:

1. Email hello@ma2e.studio from your account email, with the subject "DUSKSHORE data deletion". Include your Epic display name or Steam persona name. We will reply within 30 days.
2. To stop the Game from accessing your Epic account, go to your Epic Games account settings → Apps and Accounts and remove DUSKSHORE.
3. To remove local data, uninstall the Game and delete its save folder.

7. Children

The Game is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 where local law requires), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Security

We collect as little data as possible and keep data stored on your device. Platform data is protected by Epic Games' and Valve's own security measures.

9. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the effective date on this page. For significant changes, we will also post a notice in the Game or on its store page.
