This policy explains how the personal data of visitors to avukatesraates.com is processed. For the legal basis and details of your rights, please see our Data Protection Notice page.
Our Core Principles
- We collect only what is needed. Unless you fill in a form, no data that identifies you is collected.
- We do not sell data. Your personal data is never sold or rented to third parties for marketing.
- We do not run ad tracking. There is no behavioural advertising pixel or profiling tool on this site.
- Professional secrecy applies. Everything you tell us is covered by the duty of confidentiality under the Turkish Attorneyship Act.
What Data Do We Collect?
When you provide it
- Contact form: full name, e-mail, telephone, subject and your message
- Blog comment: name, e-mail, comment text and your rating
- Online payment: cardholder name, masked card number, amount and transaction details
Automatically
- IP address and browser information (spam prevention on comments; in server security logs)
- Pages you visit and time spent on the site (Google Analytics, aggregated and statistical)
The calculators store nothing. The values you enter into the diminished value, compensation and expropriation calculators are used only for that calculation; they are not saved to the server and are not shared with anyone.
Why Do We Use Your Data?
- To answer your request and carry out the legal advisory process
- To publish and moderate comments
- To complete payments and keep the legally required accounting records
- To protect the site against attacks and spam
- To understand which content is useful and improve the site
Who Do We Share It With?
Only with parties that are indispensable to providing the service:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers
- Cloudflare (security and content delivery)
- Google (Analytics, reCAPTCHA, Fonts)
- Our partner bank or payment institution
- Public authorities legally entitled to request information
Because some of these services use servers abroad, your data may be transferred outside Türkiye.
Security
The site serves all traffic encrypted over HTTPS. Payments are handled through the bank's infrastructure; the full card number and the security code are never stored by us at any stage. Access to the administration panel is protected by authentication.
That said, no transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We recommend that you send confidential or sensitive documents and information through a secure channel rather than a web form.
How Long Do We Keep It?
Your data is deleted once the purpose of processing no longer applies. Payment and accounting records, and files covered by the Attorneyship Act, are kept for the statutory periods set out in the relevant legislation.
Your Rights
You have the right to access your data and to request its rectification or erasure, or to object to its processing. For the full list of rights and how to apply, see our Data Protection Notice page.
Changes
This policy may be updated. The date of the latest update is shown at the top of the page.
