This page contains the information notice prepared under Article 10 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK") together with information about the cookies used on this website. The information below is updated automatically according to the features that are ACTIVELY used on the site — for example, if Google Analytics is not active, this page says so.
Under the KVKK, the data controller for personal data processed through this website (https://www.murattopay.com.tr) is Photography tours and workshops from Izmir. For questions and requests you can reach us at [email protected].
When you fill in the form on the Contact page, we process your name, e-mail address and the content of your message. This data is used only to respond to your request/message; it is not used for marketing and is not shared with third parties. The legal basis is Article 5/2 of the KVKK ("processing is necessary to fulfil the data subject's request"), so no separate explicit consent is required; however, you are asked to confirm that you have read this notice when submitting the form.
This site uses Google Analytics to understand visit statistics (such as which pages are viewed and how often, approximate location/device information). This service places cookies in your browser and transfers some data, including your IP address, to Google's (US-based) servers. Google Analytics cookies are loaded ONLY if you choose "Accept" in the cookie banner — if you decline or make no choice, these cookies never run.
Cloudflare Turnstile is used to protect the contact form against bots and automated submissions. This requires some technical data about your browser (such as your IP address) to be sent to Cloudflare when you submit the form. This is a necessary security measure for the form to work safely and does not require separate consent (KVKK Article 5/2 — necessary for the legitimate interest of the data controller).
For a simple visit chart in the admin panel, ONLY the address of the viewed page and the time are recorded for each page view. No IP address, cookie or any other information that could identify you is stored — these records therefore do not constitute personal data.
Data you share through the contact form is seen only by the data controller and is not shared with third parties. Within the scope of the Google Analytics and Cloudflare Turnstile services mentioned above, some technical data may be transferred to these providers' servers abroad; this transfer is technically necessary for the service to be provided.
Messages sent through the contact form are kept until your request is resolved and for a reasonable period of record keeping afterwards. If you would like your data deleted, simply contact us using the details below.
