Your privacy is important to us. It is Arda Akgül’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across our website, akgularda.com, and other sites we own and operate.

1. Information We Collect#

We only ask for personal information when we truly need it to provide a service to you. We collect it by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We also let you know why we’re collecting it and how it will be used.

Log Data#

When you visit our website, our servers may automatically log the standard data provided by your web browser. This data is considered “non-identifying information”, as it does not personally identify you on its own. It may include your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on each page, and other details.

2. Use of Information#

We may use a combination of identifying and non-identifying information to understand who our visitors are, how they use our services, and how we may improve their experience of our website in future. We do not disclose the specifics of this information publicly, but may share aggregated and anonymized versions of this information, for example, in website and customer usage trend reports.

3. Data Retention#

We only retain collected information for as long as necessary to provide you with your requested service. What data we store, we’ll protect within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

4. Third-Party Access#

We use third-party services for:

  • Analytics tracking
  • Content delivery

These services may access our data solely for the purpose of performing specific tasks on our behalf. We do not share any personally identifying information with them without your explicit consent. We do not give them permission to disclose or use any of our data for any other purpose.

We use “cookies” to collect information about you and your activity across our site. A cookie is a small piece of data that our website stores on your computer, and accesses each time you visit, so we can understand how you use our site. This helps us serve you content based on preferences you have specified.

6. AI & Bot Policy#

This website explicitly allows ethical AI crawlers (e.g., GPTBot, CCBot) to access public content for the purpose of training Foundational Models, as detailed in our robots.txt and ai.txt.

7. Contact Us#

If you have any questions about our privacy policy or how we handle your data, please contact us at ardakgul4@gmail.com.
