1. About Peeper and This Policy
Peeper is a free social communication service operated by Halil Öskan, an individual based in Türkiye (“Peeper”, “we”, “us” or “our”). This policy covers the Peeper mobile application and peeperapp.com (the “Services”). Halil Öskan is the controller responsible for personal data processed for Peeper’s own service operations. The contact details appear above and below.
Peeper is completely free to use and earns revenue solely from advertising through Google AdMob. We do not charge users, offer subscriptions or in-app purchases, or request payment details. Users enter the app using a nickname. We do not ask for a real name, email address, mobile phone number or social-media account to sign in.
Nickname-only access is not a guarantee of technical anonymity. A nickname, online identifier, IP address or communication can be personal data when it relates to an identifiable person or device. AdMob also processes data automatically, as explained below. This policy does not claim that no personal data is processed.
2. Information Processed by Peeper
- Nickname and service use: the nickname you choose is processed so you can participate in the service and be displayed to other users. Technical session information needed to connect you to the service may also be processed. Choose a nickname that does not reveal your real identity.
- Communications: text, audio, video or other content you choose to share through an available communication feature is processed to deliver that feature and made available to its intended participants. You may voluntarily reveal personal information through your messages, image or voice even though we do not request it at sign-in.
- Technical information: connections to our servers can produce logs containing IP addresses, access times, connection or device/browser information and error details. These are used for operation, troubleshooting, security and abuse prevention.
- Support and safety reports: if you voluntarily contact support or submit a report, we process the information you provide and any reply address used for that correspondence. Sending a support email reveals your email address to us; this is separate from, and not required for, nickname-only access.
Do not send unnecessary identity documents, private contact details or information about other people. Relevant report evidence may be reviewed by authorized persons for safety investigations or legal obligations. This is not a promise that every conversation is monitored and does not authorize undisclosed recording. Any recording or other activity requiring an additional notice or consent must have that notice or consent separately.
3. Google AdMob Advertising
Peeper uses Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK to display advertisements. Google’s SDK documentation describes automatic collection and sharing of IP addresses, app/product interactions, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers. An IP address can be used to estimate general location. Advertising identifiers may be processed depending on the platform, SDK configuration, permissions and privacy choices.
Google uses this data for ad delivery and measurement, analytics, and fraud or abuse prevention. The exact processing depends on the SDK version, configuration and applicable choices. These technical identifiers can be personal data even without a real name or email address.
For Google’s processing and controls, see the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
4. Advertising Choices and Consent
Ads may be personalized or non-personalized according to applicable consent, settings and serving restrictions. Non-personalized ads do not necessarily mean no data processing: information may still be used for contextual ad delivery, measurement and fraud prevention.
Where consent is required, it must be obtained before the relevant processing. Use any privacy or consent choices presented in the app to manage your selection. Device privacy settings may allow you to reset or delete the advertising ID or limit tracking, depending on your operating system. Google also provides My Ad Center and related privacy controls. Contact support if you cannot find a relevant privacy option. Acceptance of this policy or the Terms is not a substitute for legally required consent.
5. Camera, Microphone and Local Storage
When you choose a voice or video feature, microphone or camera access is used to provide that feature. Any required device permission can be granted or withdrawn through your device settings; denying it may prevent the associated feature from working. Sharing video or audio makes it available to the other participants. Be careful about what you reveal.
The website may use cookies or similar storage for operation and preferences. Google Analytics is used on peeperapp.com to measure website visits and usage; this website measurement is separate from the app’s nickname-only sign-in. Google’s notices linked above explain its handling of relevant technical and usage information. You can manage browser cookies through browser settings. Non-essential tracking must respect any legally required consent.
6. Purposes and Legal Grounds
We process information to operate communications, maintain service reliability, respond to requests, investigate abuse, meet legal obligations and support the advertising described above. Information is obtained through your use of the Services, your voluntary communications and reports, and the advertising technology described here.
Depending on the activity and applicable law, processing relies on consent, providing the service you request, legal obligations, protection of rights, or legitimate interests balanced against your rights. Sensitive data requires any additional legal condition applicable to it. Where consent is relied on, it may be withdrawn without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
7. Who Receives Information
- Other users: participants receive your nickname and the content you choose to communicate to them. They may independently retain what you share.
- Operational providers: providers supporting hosting, communications, technical maintenance or support may process information needed for those functions under appropriate restrictions.
- Google: Google processes advertising and website measurement data as described above and in its notices.
- Authorities and legal recipients: information may be disclosed when legally required or otherwise lawfully necessary for safety, fraud prevention or legal claims. Disclosures must be limited to an appropriate purpose.
- A successor operator: a lawful transfer of Peeper’s operation may involve associated data. Material changes in the responsible operator or data use will be communicated as required by law.
Service providers, including Google, may process data in countries other than your own. International transfers must meet applicable legal conditions and safeguards. Use of Peeper is not blanket consent to international transfers. Contact us for information about transfers relating to data under our control.
8. Data Retention
Information under our control is retained only as needed for its purpose or a legal obligation. Nickname and session-related records are kept as needed to operate the service; any stored communications or content are kept only for the relevant service purpose or a legitimate exception described here. This policy does not state that all conversations are permanently stored or that every conversation is deleted immediately.
Limited security logs, abuse reports, support correspondence or evidence may be retained for fraud prevention, safety investigations, legal compliance or claims. Retention depends on the information involved, the ongoing purpose and applicable legal periods. When no longer needed, personal data must be deleted or irreversibly anonymized. Backup copies, where present, remain protected until removed through the applicable backup cycle. You can request the period or criteria applicable to your data.
Google’s retention of data for its own purposes is explained in its privacy notices and controls. Deleting Peeper data does not automatically erase all data independently held by Google or another user.
9. Delete Your Peeper Data or Nickname Profile
You can request deletion without signing in or reinstalling the app. Email support@peeperapp.com with the subject “Peeper data deletion request”. Include the nickname you used, approximately when you used it, and a description of the data you want deleted. If the app already displays a relevant user or session identifier, you may include it. Do not send passwords or unnecessary identity documents.
There is no registered email address or phone number to supply. The address you use to send your request is used to handle that request; it is not treated as an email address previously linked to your app use. A nickname alone may not uniquely identify your records. We may ask for proportionate additional information to locate the data and avoid deleting somebody else’s records. If we cannot identify the relevant data, we will explain the limitation and any information that would help.
A verified, identifiable request covers any nickname profile or account record and associated personal data under our control, subject to the limited retention grounds above. Relevant providers processing on our behalf will also be instructed to act. Suspension alone is not deletion. We will explain completion or a justified retention exception, including its duration or criteria, within the applicable legal response period.
Uninstalling the app or changing a nickname does not necessarily delete server-side records or Google’s advertising data. You may also request deletion of specific data without stopping all use. Truly anonymous data that cannot be linked back to you cannot be located using your identity. These limits do not remove our duty to act on data that we can identify and control.
10. Your Rights and Security
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, information about recipients, restriction, portability or withdrawal of consent. Under Türkiye’s Law No. 6698, rights also include learning whether and why data is processed, requesting notification of corrections or deletion to recipients, objecting to adverse results based solely on automated analysis, and seeking compensation for unlawful processing. You may complain to the competent data protection authority. KVKK requests are answered as soon as possible and within 30 days; other applicable legal deadlines remain protected.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss or misuse and limit access to authorized persons who need it. No internet service can guarantee complete security or anonymity. This does not limit our legal duties. Report concerns to the contact below without including unnecessary sensitive information.
11. Adults Only and Child Safety
Peeper is for adults aged 18 or older, or the higher minimum age required by applicable law. Children must not use it. If you believe a child is using Peeper or that child exploitation has occurred, contact support promptly. Relevant information will be assessed, ineligible access restricted and data removed where appropriate, subject to lawful safety or evidence retention. See our Child Safety Standards. Do not forward or attach suspected child sexual abuse material.
12. Changes and Contact
The revision date appears above. Material changes will be communicated through the Services or another suitable channel as required by law. A change requiring consent must be presented for that consent; continued use alone is not sufficient where explicit consent is required.
