This page explains which personal data Gelibolu.net processes and why, in line with Turkish data protection law (KVKK). The data controller is Gelibolu.net; you can reach us at iletisim@gelibolu.net.

If you only read the site

We do not collect personal data from visitors who browse without signing in. We use no advertising or tracking cookies. To understand how the site is used we keep only aggregate counts: how many people visit, which pages they view, which country and city they come from and which site referred them. We use no cookies for this and do not store your IP address; a daily-changing, irreversible digest is used to tell repeat visits apart within the same day. The site runs on Cloudflare, which briefly processes technical data such as IP addresses for security.

If you sign in with Google

You can sign in with your Google account to send photos and similar actions. We then receive only your name, e-mail address, profile picture link and Google account ID. We never see your password.

We also record when you first signed in, when you were last seen, and how many times you have signed in and visited. This helps us understand how the site is used and prevent abuse; it is not shared with third parties or used for advertising.

A session cookie (valid for 30 days) keeps you signed in. It is removed when you sign out.

If you send a photo

  • The photo, the name you enter and the place are stored to publish it on the site. Your name appears under the photo; your e-mail address does not.
  • If the photo contains a location (GPS), it is stored only to check that the photo was taken in Gelibolu. It is never published, and the published photo contains no location data.
  • To block inappropriate content, the photo is automatically screened by Cloudflare's AI service.
  • To prevent abuse, an irreversible hash of your IP address is stored.

Retention

Account data is kept until you ask us to delete it. Rejected photos are deleted by the administrator. A published photo is removed when you ask.

Your rights

You may ask whether your data is processed, request correction or deletion, and object to processing. Send your request to iletisim@gelibolu.net from the e-mail address you signed in with; we reply within 30 days.
