This website is an information and guide portal focused on Akbük, including restaurants, local tips, events, and general travel information. It is supported in part by advertising and may use analytics tools to understand how the site is used.
By using this website, you agree that your information may be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and any applicable data protection regulations.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and scripts that serve comparable purposes.
On Akbukinfo, we may use the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the basic functioning of the website, such as enabling page navigation, remembering simple choices (for example, cookie preferences), and ensuring the security of forms or log-in areas (if any). The site cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Analytics and performance cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site by collecting anonymous or pseudonymised statistics. For example, they can tell us which pages are visited most often or help us detect if some pages are not working correctly. Where required by law, these cookies are used only with your consent.
- Advertising and marketing cookies: If we work with advertising partners or networks, they may use cookies or similar technologies to show you more relevant ads, limit how often you see the same ad, and measure the effectiveness of campaigns. These cookies are usually set by third parties and are used with your consent where required.
We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share or allow access to certain data with carefully selected third parties to help us operate and improve Akbukinfo. These third parties are expected to process data in line with applicable data protection rules and only for specified purposes.
Examples of third parties we may interact with include:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers: Our website is hosted by external providers. They process technical data and server logs to deliver the site to you and keep it secure and operational.
- Analytics providers: We may use analytics services that collect usage statistics so we can understand how visitors interact with the site. These services typically process anonymised or pseudonymised data and may use cookies or similar technologies.
- Advertising networks and partners: If we display ads, advertising partners may collect data via cookies, pixels, or similar technologies. This can include general device and browser information, IP address (often truncated or otherwise processed), information about the ads displayed and clicked, and basic location derived from your IP address. This information helps deliver ads, avoid showing the same ad repeatedly, and measure performance.
- Service providers assisting with communication or security: We may work with email or security service providers (for example, for spam or attack prevention) who process limited data as necessary to provide their services.
We may also disclose information where we are required to do so by law or where we believe in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our rights, the safety of users or others, or to respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
Where third parties act as our processors, they are bound by contractual obligations to process personal data only on our instructions and to implement appropriate security measures. Where third parties act as independent controllers (for example, some advertising or analytics providers), they are responsible for explaining their own privacy practices, usually in their own privacy policies.
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law (for example, for tax, accounting, or legal defence obligations).
In practice, this generally means that:
- Server logs are retained for a limited period to ensure the security and integrity of the website and to investigate incidents, after which they are deleted or anonymised.
- Analytics data is retained according to the settings of the analytics tool we use and the legal requirements that apply. Where possible, we configure analytics to use shorter retention periods and to aggregate or anonymise data over time.
- Contact emails and correspondence are kept for as long as needed to handle your request and maintain a reasonable record of the communication, for example to follow up on your enquiry or if we need the information for legal reasons.
- Advertising-related data is retained by us and/or our partners only for as long as necessary to support advertising operations and measurement, subject to your consent choices and any applicable legal limits.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include secure hosting environments, access controls, encryption in transit (for example, HTTPS), and regular updates to software and systems.
No system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, but we aim to keep your data protected in a way that is appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks involved.
Depending on where you live and the data protection laws that apply, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal data. These may include:
- Right of access: You can ask us for confirmation as to whether we process personal data about you and request a copy of that data.
- Right to rectification: You can ask us to correct or complete personal data that you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you can request that we delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected.
- Right to restrict processing: You may have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain situations, such as while we verify the accuracy of the data or consider an objection.
- Right to object: Where we process data based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing, you may have the right to object to that processing.
- Right to data portability: In some cases, you can ask to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent for specific processing (for example, certain analytics or advertising cookies), you can withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before it was withdrawn.
To exercise any of these rights, or if you have questions about how your data is handled, you can contact us at info@akbukinfo.com. We may need to verify your identity before we can respond to certain requests, in order to protect your data.
If you believe that your data protection rights have been infringed, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority or another competent supervisory authority.
Because Akbukinfo may use hosting providers, analytics tools, or advertising partners that operate in multiple countries, your data may be processed in or transferred to countries other than the one in which you are located.
These countries may have data protection laws that are different from those in your country and may not always be regarded as providing the same level of protection. Where required, we aim to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, for example by relying on standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities or on comparable legal mechanisms.
In all cases, we aim to ensure that any transfer of personal data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and that your information remains protected as described in this Privacy Policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the law, our services, or how we handle personal data. When we make changes, we will post the updated version on this page and adjust the "Last updated" date below.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
