So that you can play Reenkarne with confidence, we explain clearly what we store, why and for how long. In short: we keep only what the game needs to work, and we never sell it.
Reenkarne (reenkarne.com) is an independent project by bakar.technology: a free, browser-based life simulation game. We are not a company. We, the team that builds and runs the game, process the information described on this page and are responsible for it.
By using the site you accept these terms. The game is free: there are no purchases, subscriptions or in-game payments. You can play without an account; an account only saves your progress and lets you continue on other devices.
3 Age and content
The game deals, without graphic detail, with hard real-life topics such as war, death, poverty, discrimination, harassment, addiction, gender identity and sex work. It is therefore suitable for players aged 16 and over. Children under 13 may not create an account; accounts we find to belong to a child under 13 are deleted.
History, statistics and events in the game are inspired by real data but simplified. The game is not a source of educational, medical, legal or financial advice; views expressed belong to the characters.
4 Account and sign-in
Reenkarne has no passwords. To sign in you enter your email address and we send you a one-time 6-digit code.
The code is valid for 10 minutes and is cancelled after 5 wrong attempts.
To prevent abuse, at most 5 codes per hour are sent to one address, and at most 10 per hour from the same connection.
Codes and session keys are stored on our server only as an irreversible hash, never in readable form.
You stay signed in for 180 days; choosing “Sign out” ends the session on that device.
You are responsible for the security of your account and inbox; never share your code. Our team will never ask you for it.
5 What we collect
We store only the following, and only for the purposes listed:
Data
Why
How long
Your email address

So you stay signed in without a new code each time

Anonymous visit statistics
To see how often the site is visited: page opened, name of the referring site, browser type and an irreversible hash of the IP address
For statistics only; never linked to your email or account
Account action counts
To count daily sign-ups, sign-ins and sign-outs; only the type and time are kept, not who it was
For statistics only
Letters you write to yourself are shown only to you; no other player can see them.
6 Purposes and legal bases
We process personal data only for the purposes below, on the legal grounds listed in Article 5 of Türkiye’s KVKK (and the corresponding grounds of the GDPR):
Providing your account and game save (email, sessions, save): necessary to set up and perform the service you use (contract).
Keeping the service secure and preventing abuse (rate limits, sign-in times): legitimate interest.
Understanding how much the site is used (anonymous visit and action counts): legitimate interest; never linked to your identity.
Legal obligations: lawful requests from competent authorities.
Your data is not used for any other purpose: no marketing, advertising or profiling.
7 International transfers
The servers of Cloudflare, which hosts and protects the site, may be located outside Türkiye. Some technical information (such as your IP address) may therefore be processed on its servers abroad. All of the site’s files, including its typefaces, are served from our own address; no requests are sent to other services such as Google. This happens only to deliver the service technically, and we take care that it complies with Article 9 of the KVKK.
8 What we don’t collect
Your real name, phone number, address or ID details
Your location, contacts, camera or microphone
Payment or bank details (there are no payments in the game)
Advertising IDs or cookies that follow you across other sites
Your raw IP address in statistics
9 What is stored on your device
Instead of cookies, Reenkarne uses your browser’s local storage (localStorage). This data stays only on your device:
Your language and sound settings and chosen birth region
If you play without an account, your game save and unfinished life
If you are signed in, your session key
You can clear it at any time by deleting site data in your browser settings. If you play without an account, this also deletes your progress.
10 Third parties
We never sell, rent or share your data for advertising. To run the service we rely only on:
Cloudflare: hosting, fast delivery and protection against attacks. Cloudflare may use a technical security cookie.
Server and email infrastructure: the server where accounts and saves are stored, and the email service that delivers sign-in codes.
These providers process data only to deliver the service. We share your data with no one unless legally required by an official request.
11 Security
The entire site is encrypted with HTTPS; http requests are automatically redirected to the secure address.
No passwords are used, so there is no password to leak.
Sign-in codes and session keys are stored as irreversible hashes.
Attempts are rate-limited.
Only the team running the service can access the servers.
If you notice a security issue, please email info@bakar.technology; we will act quickly.
12 Your rights
Under Türkiye’s Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:
Find out what data we hold about you and request a copy
Ask for incorrect data to be corrected
Ask for your account and all records to be deleted
Receive your game save as a portable file
Object to the processing of your data
Simply email info@bakar.technology from the address on your account. Requests are handled free of charge within 30 days at the latest.
13 Deleting your account
If you are signed in, you can delete your account instantly yourself with the “Delete my account” button on your Profile page, or ask us at info@bakar.technology. When your account is deleted, your email address, sessions and game save (including past lives, letters and dynasties) are permanently removed from our server. Anonymous visit and action counts remain in statistics because they cannot be linked to anyone. You can delete local data on your device yourself from your browser settings.
14 Your content
The letters you write to yourself and the soul name you choose belong to you. Letters are shown only to you. When you share a karmic bond or “let someone live this life” link, it contains only the soul name you typed and the game’s seed information; it never contains your email address.
15 Rules
Attacking the site, flooding it with automated requests, trying to bypass its security or trying to access other people’s accounts is forbidden.
Do not use share and invite links to harass, defraud or mislead others.
Accounts that break these rules may be closed without notice.
16 Intellectual property
The game’s code, design, character art, texts and music belong to its developers. You are free to share the life cards and screenshots you create, personally and on social media.
17 Limitation of liability
The game is provided “as is”, without any guarantee that it will run uninterrupted or error-free. We take reasonable care to keep your saves safe, but to the extent permitted by law we accept no liability for loss of data.
18 Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always on this page and the date at the top will change. Significant changes will be announced on the site.
19 Governing law and contact
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. Write to us with any questions, ideas or data requests; we usually reply within a few working days.
