Privacy Policy for Nöbetçi Eczane

Zafer Bozkurt built the Nöbetçi Eczane app as a Free app. This SERVICE is provided by Zafer Bozkurt at no cost and is intended for use as is.

This page is used to inform visitors regarding my policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use my Service.

If you choose to use my Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The Personal Information that I collect is used for providing and improving the Service. I will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

About the App

Nöbetçi Eczane helps you find on-duty (night) pharmacies in Türkiye. To show you the nearest pharmacies, the app can use your device location. The app does not require you to create an account or sign in.

Information Collection and Use

The app stores certain information — such as the cached pharmacy lists, your selected language, and your theme preference — locally on your device. This information is retained on your device and is not collected by me in any way.

Location Information

With your permission, the app accesses your device's precise location to find and sort the on-duty pharmacies nearest to you. Your location is used only while you are using the app. To calculate distances to pharmacies, your coordinates are sent to the Google Maps Platform (Distance Matrix API). Your location is not stored on any server operated by me. You can grant or revoke location access at any time in your device settings; without it, you can still browse pharmacies by selecting a city or district manually.

Pharmacy Data

The pharmacy lists are delivered through Google Firebase (Realtime Database). The app only reads this data to keep the pharmacy list up to date; I do not store your personal data there. As with any internet service, Firebase and Google may process technical connection data (such as your IP address) in order to deliver the content.

Analytics

The app uses Mixpanel to understand how the app is used — for example, which screens are viewed and which features are used (such as searching for a pharmacy) — so that I can improve the Service. This usage and diagnostic data is processed by Mixpanel; you can review their privacy policy below.

The app does use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.

Log Data

I want to inform you that whenever you use my Service, in a case of an error in the app, data and information (through third-party products) may be collected on your phone. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing my Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.

Cookies and Identifiers

Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. This Service does not use these “cookies” explicitly. However, the app may use third-party code and libraries (such as the analytics SDK) that use device or installation identifiers to collect information and improve their services.

Service Providers

I may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons:

I want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to limited information for the purposes described above. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.

International Data Transfer

The third-party services used by the app (such as Google and Mixpanel) may process and store data on servers located outside your country, including outside Türkiye. By using the Service, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in these locations in accordance with the privacy policies of those providers.

Your Rights and Choices

You can grant or revoke location permission at any time from your device settings. Because the app does not store your personal data on a server that I control, the data the app keeps stays on your device and can be removed by clearing the app data or uninstalling the app. For requests regarding data processed by the third parties listed above, please also refer to their respective privacy policies. If you have questions about your rights under applicable data protection laws (such as KVKK or GDPR), you can contact me using the details below.

Security

I value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Links to Other Sites

This Service may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by me. Therefore, I strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. I have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Children's Privacy

These Services are intended for a general audience and do not address anyone under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. In the case I discover that a child under 13 has provided me with personal information, I immediately delete this. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact me so that I will be able to do the necessary actions.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

This policy is effective as of 2026-06-20.
