5) Purposes of Processing

We process data to:

• provide and operate the Service and its modes;

• troubleshoot, monitor stability, and improve performance;

• comply with legal obligations and handle disputes;

• respond to support requests.

6) Legal Bases (GDPR/KVKK)

Depending on your location and the feature, processing may rely on one or more of:

• Contract performance (to deliver the Service and core features);

• Legitimate interests (security, anti-cheat, service improvement, stability), balanced against your rights;

• Authorities or legal parties when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity.

We share only the minimum data needed and apply contractual and technical safeguards.

8) International Data Transfers (EU/EEA, Türkiye, U.S.)

Our servers or service providers may be located in different countries. Where international transfers occur:

• for EU/EEA data, we apply appropriate safeguards (e.g., contractual protections and technical measures) consistent with GDPR requirements;

• for Türkiye, we take measures consistent with KVKK;

• we apply reasonable security controls to protect data in transit and at rest where applicable.

9) Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary:

• gameplay/account data: while your account remains active or as needed to provide the Service;

• security/anti-cheat logs: for a reasonable period necessary for security and dispute handling;

• crash/performance logs: for a limited period to improve stability;

• purchase validation records: as required for operational and legal needs.

After retention ends, data is deleted, anonymized, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable law.

10) Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures (e.g., access controls, encrypted transport via TLS/HTTPS, logging, secure development practices) to protect personal data. No internet transmission method is 100% secure, but we work to reduce risk.

11) Children’s Privacy

LiveQ is not intended to knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us at liveqshow@gmail.com and we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law.
