Ministry of Traffic — Privacy Policy
Effective date: 11 November 2026 App: Ministry of Traffic for iPhone, iPad and Mac Published at: https://ministryoftraffic.layrup.com/privacy-policy
This policy explains what information Ministry of Traffic ("the game", "we", "us") and the third-party services built into it collect, why, and the choices you have. If anything is unclear, write to us at hello@layrup.com.
1. Who we are
The game is developed and published by Layrup, 30 Agustos Zafer mahallesi, No:3, Nilüfer, Bursa, Türkiye ("Layrup"). Layrup is the data controller for the information described in this policy.
Contact: hello@layrup.com
2. The short version
- You do not need an account to play. We never ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or location.
- Your cities, progress and settings are saved only on your device.
- The game shows no ads and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. It never asks for, or reads, your advertising identifier (IDFA).
- The base game is free. Optional expansion packs are sold through the App Store, and RevenueCat helps us check what you own.
- On iPhone and iPad we use GameAnalytics to understand how the game is played and to find crashes. The Mac version sends no analytics.
- Game Center is used for achievements and leaderboards if you are signed in to it.
3. Information we collect
We do not run our own servers for the game. The information below is collected by the game and by the services built into it, and it is sent to those services over encrypted connections (TLS).
3.1 Stored only on your device
- Your saved cities, scenarios, achievements progress and settings (such as language, sound, music, radio and haptics).
- A list of the expansion packs you own, so they open even when you are offline.
This information stays on your device. Deleting the game deletes it. If you use your device's backup features (such as iCloud Backup), it may be included in those backups under Apple's terms.
3.2 Analytics (GameAnalytics, iPhone and iPad only)
- Gameplay events: for example cities started and reopened, game modes and maps played, scenarios and the mayor's tasks started, completed or failed, milestones reached, tools picked, things built, the city's in-game money, achievements, settings changed, and visits to the pack shop.
- Purchases: which pack or bundle was bought and its price, so we can see which packs players enjoy. We never receive payment card details.
- Session information: when a session starts and ends, its length and the game version.
- Device information: device model, operating system and version, language, screen size and connection type.
- Diagnostics: crash reports, error messages and performance data.
- Identifiers: a random ID created by GameAnalytics and the vendor identifier (IDFV), which is the same only across apps from Layrup on your device. The advertising identifier (IDFA) is not read, because the game never asks for permission to track.
- Approximate location: your IP address is used to determine your country. GameAnalytics does not store precise location.
3.3 Purchases (Apple and RevenueCat)
The base game is free. Expansion packs and bundles are optional one-time purchases.
- All payments are handled by Apple. We never receive your payment card details or your Apple Account details.
- RevenueCat receives the App Store's confirmation of your purchases so we can tell which packs you own and restore them on your other devices. To do this it uses a random, anonymous app user ID, your purchase history in the game (products, prices, dates and transaction identifiers), and device information such as the operating system, app version, country and IP address.
3.4 Game Center
If you are signed in to Game Center, your achievements and scores are sent to Apple's Game Center so you can see them and compare them with friends. The game uses your Game Center player ID and display name for this, and, if you allow it, your Game Center friends list to show friends on the leaderboards. Game Center is run by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy. You can sign out of Game Center or change friend access in your device's settings.
3.5 Information provided by Apple
If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may provide us with aggregated information such as crash reports and download statistics through App Store Connect. This information does not identify you personally.
3.6 Information we do not collect
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, postal address, precise location, contacts, messages, photos, videos, audio, files, calendar, health or fitness data, browsing history, advertising identifier, or a list of installed apps.
4. Why we use this information (and our legal bases)
| Purpose | Information used | Legal basis (EEA/UK/CH) |
|---|---|---|
| Running the game and saving your cities | Data on your device | Performance of our agreement with you (providing the game) |
| Selling packs, checking and restoring what you own | Purchase data (section 3.3) | Performance of our agreement with you |
| Achievements and leaderboards | Game Center data (section 3.4) | Performance of our agreement with you |
| Understanding how the game is played and improving it | Analytics data (section 3.2) | Our legitimate interest in improving the game |
| Finding and fixing crashes and errors | Diagnostics | Our legitimate interest in keeping the game working |
| Complying with legal obligations | As required | Legal obligation |
Outside the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, we use this information for the same purposes as permitted by local law.
We do not sell or share your personal information for advertising, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.
5. Third-party services
| Service | What it does | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| GameAnalytics (iPhone and iPad only) | Gameplay analytics, crash and error reports | https://gameanalytics.com/privacy |
| RevenueCat | Checking and restoring purchases | https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy |
| Apple App Store and Game Center | Downloads, payments, achievements and leaderboards | https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/ |
These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where data leaves the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, the providers rely on safeguards recognised by law, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
6. How long we keep information
- On your device: until you delete the game.
- Analytics (GameAnalytics): raw event data is kept only as long as needed to produce statistics about the game. Aggregated statistics that do not identify you may be kept longer.
- Purchases (RevenueCat, Apple): kept as long as needed to provide the packs you bought and as required by tax and accounting laws.
7. Your choices and deleting your data
You do not have an account, so there is no account to delete.
- Stop analytics: the Mac version sends no analytics. On iPhone and iPad, deleting the game stops all further collection, or you can email us to object (see section 8).
- Delete the game: this deletes your cities, progress and the random IDs stored on your device. Data already sent to GameAnalytics stays tied only to those random IDs, which can no longer be linked to you.
- Game Center: sign out or manage friends in your device's Game Center settings.
- Ask us: email hello@layrup.com with the subject "Delete my data". Tell us your device type and, if you still have the game, the approximate date you installed it. We will delete or anonymise any data we can link to you and forward the request to our providers. We will reply within 30 days. Purchase records that we or Apple must keep by law are not deleted.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss data protection law, the CCPA/CPRA or Turkey's KVKK), you may have the right to:
- access the personal data held about you and receive a copy;
- correct or delete it;
- restrict or object to its use, including use based on legitimate interests;
- data portability.
To use these rights, email hello@layrup.com. Because we do not have accounts, we may need some information from you to find your data. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
9. Children
The game is suitable for all ages, but it is not directed at children under 13 (or under the minimum age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided personal information, contact us at hello@layrup.com and we will delete it.
10. Security
All data that leaves your device is sent over encrypted connections (TLS). We do not run servers that store your data. Our providers apply their own technical and organisational security measures.
11. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the effective date at the top. If the changes are significant, we will let you know in the game or on the App Store page.
