• Enquiry form: your name, phone number, vehicle details, the service you selected and any note you write.
• Server logs: IP address, browser and operating system, the page requested and a timestamp. These are recorded automatically for security and troubleshooting.

We do not run analytics, advertising or profiling. No third-party statistics service receives your visit.

• To answer your enquiry and provide the service you asked about (performance of a contract, or steps taken at your request).
• To keep the server secure and prevent abuse (legitimate interest).
• To meet record-keeping obligations where the law requires it (legal obligation).

This site sets no advertising, analytics or profiling cookies. Only storage that is strictly necessary to run and protect the site is used: your cookie choice, kept in your own browser so the banner is not shown on every visit, and Cloudflare’s bot protection. These rest on the legitimate interest basis in Article 5(2)(f) of the Turkish Data Protection Law (KVKK) and cannot be switched off. If you change the display through the accessibility icon at the bottom left (text size, contrast and so on), that setting is stored only after you change it and only in your own browser (localStorage, key “a11y-prefs-v1”); it is never sent anywhere, and “Sıfırla” (Reset) deletes it.

A cookie banner is shown on your first visit. Following the Turkish Data Protection Authority’s guidance on cookies, rejecting is exactly as easy as accepting and both options carry the same visual weight; nothing optional runs before you decide. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the “Çerez Ayarları” link in the footer. Should a non-essential technology ever be added, your explicit consent will be obtained before it loads.

Instagram posts shown on this site are fetched by our own server, and their images are streamed through our own domain. No Instagram embed script is used, so your browser does not contact Meta and your IP address is not shared with Meta while browsing.

If you click through to Instagram or WhatsApp, those services then apply their own privacy policies. We do not sell or rent personal data to anyone.

The site is hosted in a data centre operated by Hetzner Online GmbH in Falkenstein, Germany. Technical records created when you open the site, and any enquiry you send, are processed on those servers. Traffic also passes through Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) for security and bot protection, which technically processes your IP address.

Because these providers are located outside Türkiye, your personal data is transferred abroad: to Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany) for hosting, to Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) for delivering and protecting the site, and to Google LLC (Gmail, USA) for the mailbox that receives enquiries. These transfers are limited to running the site, keeping it secure and answering your enquiry.

When you send the enquiry form, the form service on the server that hosts this site passes your request through Hetzner’s mail servers to the business’s Gmail mailbox (Google LLC, USA), where it is stored. No separate bulk email sending service is used. If that delivery fails, you are offered the option to send it via WhatsApp instead.

The customer reviews shown on the site are fetched from the business’s Google Maps listing through our own server (no Google code is loaded in your browser). For readability only spelling and punctuation are corrected; content and ratings are not changed.

Your data is never sold, rented or handed over to third parties for marketing.

Enquiries are kept for a reasonable period after the request has been handled and are then deleted. Server logs are kept for 14 days and then deleted automatically. Records subject to a statutory retention period are kept for as long as that period requires.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to opt out of marketing. Contact latifergin17@gmail.com to exercise any of these.

Visitors in Türkiye may also complain to the Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK); visitors in the EU/EEA may complain to their local supervisory authority.

We may update this policy. The current version is always published here with its effective date.
