1) Privacy Policy – The Last Zone

Effective date: 25 November 2025

​​

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how we, Kodobur Yazılım Bilişim Tasarım Arge Sanayi Ticaret Ltd. Şti. (“Kodobur”, “we”, “us”), process personal data in connection with the video game The Last Zone (the “Game”) and related support channels. Kodobur is an independent game developer and publisher headquartered in ODTÜ Teknokent, Ankara, Türkiye. This Policy applies when you play The Last Zone on Xbox, PlayStation, Steam/PC and any future platforms, and when you contact us about the Game.

​

2. Key facts about The Last Zone

 The Last Zone is a single-player, offline third-person shooter with strategic base defence elements.  The Game does not include in-game chat or user-generated content features.  The Game does not include in-game advertising or separate microtransactions. All purchases are processed by the platform store (Microsoft Store / Xbox, PlayStation Store, Steam).  The PC version is built with Unreal Engine and uses Epic Online Services SDK, which may provide analytics and online services infrastructure. Because of this, we generally do not create our own player accounts inside the Game. Most personal data comes from platform providers (Microsoft, Sony, Valve), from analytics/technical logs, and from you when you contact us.

​
