Privacy Policy

What this policy covers

This policy applies to the Mina Smart Remote app (“Mina”) and the minasmart.app website. It also serves as the information notice required by Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK).

Controller: Mehmet Alakuş (the app’s developer)
Contact: destek@minasmart.app

Information stored on your phone

To work, Mina keeps the following information only on your device, in the app’s own storage:

• The name, brand, platform and model of the TVs you add, their IP address on your local network and the MAC address used to turn them on over the network
• Connection keys and codes created when pairing with a TV (including the connection certificate generated on your phone for Google TV and Android TV)
• A copy of your Pro status and your app preferences

This information is never sent to us. Deleting the app deletes all of it. Depending on your Apple backup settings, it may be included in your iPhone’s iCloud or computer backups.

Local network access

Mina asks for iOS’s Local Network permission so it can find TVs on your Wi-Fi network and send them commands. It scans the network only to recognize TVs, and the scan results never leave your phone. Commands go straight from your phone to your TV, with no server or cloud service of ours in between.

You can turn this permission off at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network on your iPhone. While it is off, Mina cannot find or control TVs.

Purchases

Mina Pro purchases are made through Apple’s App Store payment system. Your payment and card details are processed by Apple; we do not see or store them. To unlock Pro features, the app uses the transaction information Apple delivers to your phone. To learn how Apple handles your data, see the Apple Privacy Policy.

Statistics provided by Apple

Through App Store Connect, Apple gives developers aggregated statistics that do not identify you, such as download and sales figures. If you chose to share analytics with app developers on your iPhone, crash reports may also reach us without your identity. We use this information only to improve the app.

If you email us

When you write to us for support, we use your email address and whatever you share in your message only to reply and solve your issue. Our legal basis is handling your request and our legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and (f); KVKK Art. 5(2)(c) and (f)). We keep the correspondence for up to two years after the matter is closed and then delete it. Messages are stored on our email provider’s servers, which may be located outside your country.

Website

This website uses no cookies, contains no analytics or advertising tools and does not load fonts or other content from third-party servers. The language you pick is saved only in your browser’s local storage so the site opens in that language next time; it is never sent to us. The hosting provider may briefly keep technical logs such as IP address, browser details and time of visit for security and operation.

Children

Mina is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Under the GDPR and Article 11 of the KVKK, you have the right to learn whether your personal data is processed, to request information about it, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to its processing and to claim compensation if you suffered damage. Send requests to destek@minasmart.app; we reply within 30 days at the latest. You can also lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country or with Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Authority.

Because the app’s information stays on your phone, you can delete it yourself by deleting Mina.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always on this page, and the date at the top shows the latest change. We will also announce important changes in the app or on the website.
