Who is responsible

Nevcan Uludaş is the data controller for this website under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, Law No. 6698) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Contact: nev@gue.com.

What is processed when you visit

This site is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc. (US). To deliver pages, GitHub's servers, also outside Türkiye including in the US, process standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the request. GitHub logs visitors' IP addresses for security purposes (GitHub Pages: data collection). This is needed to operate and secure the website and is not used to identify or profile you.

Legal basis: my legitimate interest in running a secure website (KVKK Art. 5(2)(f); GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). This is a transfer abroad. GitHub does not offer a standard contract approved by the Personal Data Protection Board, so none is in place.

When you contact us

If you email nev@gue.com, your message and contact details are used only to reply to you and to handle your request, and are kept no longer than needed for that purpose.

Online booking is not available yet. When booking and inquiry forms are added, they will come with their own privacy notice explaining what is collected and why.

Links to GUE.tv

The GUE.tv links on this site, in the footer and on the About page, are affiliate links. New members who join through them can use code AFF30M for 30% off the first month or AFF20A for 20% off the first year, and GUE.tv pays Nevcan Uludaş a small referral fee. It costs you nothing extra. This site sets no cookie for this; GUE.tv sets its own referral cookie on gue.tv, covered by GUE.tv's privacy policy.

Analytics

With your consent (KVKK Art. 5(1); GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), this site uses Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are visited and how. The data is collected automatically by a script and cookies, only after you accept. Google processes the pages viewed, device and browser type and an approximate location derived from your IP address. For visitors in the EU, Google says it does not log or store IP addresses. Its cookies (dive_ga, dive_ga_…) last up to two years; detailed data linked to the cookie is deleted after 14 months; aggregated page-view totals are kept.

Recipient: Google (Google Ireland Ltd and Google LLC), as the analytics provider. This is a transfer abroad, including to the US, on the basis of your explicit consent to this transfer (KVKK Art. 9(6)(a)), which you give by choosing "Accept" after being told the risks: the Personal Data Protection Board has not decided that the US provides adequate protection, no standard contract approved by the Board is in place with Google, and US authorities may be able to access the data under US law. For visitors in the EU: the EU Standard Contractual Clauses in Google's data processing terms (GDPR Art. 46(2)(c)).

You can withdraw consent at any time under Cookie settings. Withdrawing stops further collection and removes the dive_ga cookies; it doesn't affect processing before you withdrew.

Your choice itself is stored in your browser (local storage entry "dive-consent", kept for 12 months, after which you are asked again). This is needed to respect your choice and needs no consent.

Your rights

Under KVKK Article 11 you can apply to the data controller to: (a) learn whether your personal data is processed; (b) if so, request information about it; (c) learn the purpose of the processing and whether the data is used for that purpose; (ç) know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom it is transferred; (d) have incomplete or inaccurate data corrected; (e) have it deleted or destroyed under the conditions of KVKK Article 7; (f) have the third parties it was transferred to told of a correction or deletion under (d) or (e); (g) object to a result against you that arises solely from automated analysis of your data; (ğ) claim compensation if you suffer damage from unlawful processing. Where processing is based on your consent (analytics), you can withdraw it at any time under Cookie settings. If the GDPR applies to you, you also have the rights in GDPR Articles 15–22 (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection) and may withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7(3)).

How to apply

By e-mail to nev@gue.com. Please include your name and surname; your T.C. identity number, or if you are not a Turkish citizen your nationality and passport or ID number; an address for replies; and what you are asking for. I answer free of charge, as soon as possible and within 30 days at the latest; if answering involves a separate cost, a fee under the Board's tariff may apply. If I refuse a request, I will tell you why.

Complaints

If your request is refused, the answer is inadequate or there is no answer in time, you can complain to the Personal Data Protection Board (KVK Kurulu) within 30 days of learning the answer, and in any case within 60 days of your application. You must apply to the controller first. If you are in the EU, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
