With the proliferation of portable devices such as smartphones and tablets, mobile games have become part of the daily habits of mobile device users, regardless of age and gender. According to Hubspot statistics for 2021, 2.2 billion mobile gaming users have been identified worldwide. The increasing number of mobile game users has brought the mobile gaming sector to an important place in the market and has led game companies to invest in this area.
The rapid growth of the mobile gaming industry has made mobile games serve data production, that is, big data.
According to Haystack.mobi data, 70% of smartphone apps collect users' personal data and this data is distributed to third parties without users' consent. Children in particular have given their personal data to gaming companies for many mobile games, unaware of the consequences that a breach of this data could bring. Game companies may use this data to improve games and may also share this data with third parties for revenue purposes. In addition, personal data can also be used for unethical purposes, such as creating the digital identity of users.
Therefore, the issue of protection of personal data is very important for protection from ill-intentioned parties. Today, users' personal data is secured by the Personal Data Protection Act (KVKK), which came into force in 2016. According to the law and the institution, when our personal data is requested in mobile games, gaming companies must clearly state for what purpose this data is requested and where this data will be used.
