Privacy Policy – Carplay Pro (ATK Yazılım A.Ş.)

This Privacy Policy explains how ATK Yazılım Anonim Şirketi (“ATK”, “we”, “us”) handles personal data when you use the Carplay Pro - Screen Mirroring iOS app (“the app”) and the website carplaypro.com. ATK is the data controller under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (“KVKK”) and, where it applies, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

Summary

You do not need an account. We do not ask for your name, email, phone number, contacts or location to use the app.
The screen you mirror is never recorded and never sent to us. It goes only from your iPhone to your car display.
Playlists, links and settings you add are stored only on your iPhone.
Apple processes purchases. We never see your payment details.
We do not sell personal data, do not show ads and do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

1. Screen mirroring

When you start mirroring, iOS asks for your permission and then passes the image of your screen to the app, which sends it over the connection between your iPhone and your car display (directly or through an adapter). This happens on your devices in real time. The image is not recorded, stored, analysed or sent to our servers or to any third party.

Everything visible on your iPhone, including notifications and messages, may also appear on the car display while mirroring is active. We recommend turning on a Focus mode before you start, and stopping mirroring before you open private information.

2. Data stored on your device

Your settings, favourites and any M3U/IPTV playlist links you add are stored locally on your iPhone. We cannot access them. They are deleted when you delete the app. If you use iCloud backup, Apple may include this data in your backup under Apple’s own privacy policy.

3. Purchases and subscriptions

Pro subscriptions are sold and processed by Apple through your Apple Account. Apple shares with us only what is needed to confirm and manage your entitlement, such as a transaction identifier, the product purchased and the subscription status. We never receive your name, card details or Apple Account email from Apple.

4. Diagnostics

If you have chosen in your iPhone settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may provide us with crash reports and aggregated usage statistics. Apple does not identify you to us in this data. We use it only to find and fix errors. You can turn this off at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.

5. Support requests

If you email us, we process your email address, your message and anything you choose to attach, only to answer you and to keep a record of the request. We keep this correspondence for up to 2 years after the request is closed, unless the law requires us to keep it longer.

6. Media servers you connect to

If you add an IPTV/M3U playlist or open a stream link, the app connects directly from your iPhone to the server in that link. That server receives your IP address and technical data, as with any internet connection. We do not operate or control these servers. Their operators are responsible for their own processing, and you should only use sources you trust and have the right to access.

7. Website

Our website does not use advertising or tracking cookies and does not require consent banners for that reason. Our hosting and security provider (Cloudflare) processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, in order to deliver the site, protect it against attacks and produce anonymous, aggregated traffic statistics without cookies. These server logs are kept for a short, limited period.

8. Legal bases

We process personal data only where the law allows it:

to provide the app and your subscription (performance of a contract; KVKK art. 5/2(c), GDPR art. 6(1)(b));
to keep the app and website secure and working, and to fix errors (our legitimate interests; KVKK art. 5/2(f), GDPR art. 6(1)(f));
to meet legal obligations, such as tax, accounting or requests from competent authorities (KVKK art. 5/2(ç), GDPR art. 6(1)(c));
to establish, exercise or defend legal claims (KVKK art. 5/2(e));
diagnostics shared by Apple only with the consent you give in your iPhone settings.

9. Who receives data and international transfers

We share data only with service providers that help us run the app and website, and only as far as needed: Apple (App Store, payments, diagnostics), Cloudflare (website hosting and security) and our email service provider (support requests). We may also disclose data to courts and public authorities when the law requires it.

Some of these providers process data outside Türkiye, including in the United States and the European Union. Such transfers are made in accordance with Article 9 of KVKK and, where applicable, Chapter V of the GDPR, on the basis of appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

10. How long we keep data

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected for, or as long as the law requires, and then delete, destroy or anonymise it. Data on your device remains under your control until you delete the app.

11. Your rights

Under Article 11 of KVKK, you have the right to: learn whether your personal data is processed; request information about it; learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used for that purpose; know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom it is transferred; ask for it to be corrected if incomplete or inaccurate; ask for it to be deleted or destroyed; ask that third parties be notified of such correction or deletion; object to a result against you that arises solely from automated analysis; and claim compensation for damage caused by unlawful processing.

If the GDPR applies to you, you also have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection, and the right to withdraw consent at any time.

To use your rights, write to support@carplaypro.com with the subject “Data protection request”. We answer requests free of charge within 30 days at the latest. You may complain to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK), or, in the EU or UK, to your local data protection authority.

12. Children

The app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Security

We keep the data we process to a minimum and protect it with appropriate technical and organisational measures. Because the mirrored screen and your playlists never reach our servers, they cannot be exposed through them.

14. Changes

We will update this policy if our practices change, for example if we add a new feature or service provider. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version. Material changes will be announced in the app or on this page before they take effect.
