Privacy Policy

Gökbörü Erbil Medya respects the privacy of its readers and processes personal data only to the extent necessary. This policy explains in general terms what data is processed when you use our website, and how.

What data we process

• Newsletter subscriptions: your email address and subscription preferences if you sign up for our newsletter

• Technical logs: technical data kept by our servers to run the site securely and reliably, such as IP address, browser information, request times and error logs
• Job applications: the CV and related information you send when applying for a role

By default, our site does not use tracking cookies. Information about the strictly necessary cookies we use is available in our Cookie Policy.

Analytics

Analytics tools for visitor statistics are disabled by default. If such tools are enabled in future, we will ask for your consent beforehand where the applicable law requires it, and we will update this page.

Why we use data

• To send you the newsletter you subscribed to
• To respond to your questions, tips and correction requests
• To keep the site secure, prevent abuse and fix technical problems
• To assess job applications
• To meet our legal obligations

Legal bases

In general, we process personal data on the following bases: your consent, for services such as the newsletter; our legitimate interests, for the security and operation of the site; handling your request, when we respond to you or assess your application; and legal obligations, where the law requires it.

Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data or share it with third parties for advertising. Data may be shared, only as far as necessary, with service providers who act on our behalf under confidentiality obligations, such as hosting or email delivery providers. Information may be disclosed to competent authorities where the law requires it.

Retention

• Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe.
• Technical logs are kept for a limited period needed for security purposes and then deleted.
• Correspondence and applications are kept for as long as their purpose requires.

Sign-in sessions expire within 12 hours at most, and anti-abuse counters are deleted within 24 hours.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access your data, request its correction or deletion, object to its processing and withdraw your consent at any time. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in every email.
