Terms of Use and Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026

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.

1 Who we are

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.

For questions, ideas and data requests: info@bakar.technology

2 The service and your agreement

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.

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:

Account action countsTo count daily sign-ups, sign-ins and sign-outs; only the type and time are kept, not who it wasFor 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):

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

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:

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:

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

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:

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

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.
