Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 18, 2026

Webrote values the privacy of users who visit the website, interact with content, leave comments, contact us or request information about our services. This Privacy Policy provides a general explanation of the types of information that may be processed through webrote.com, the purposes for which that information may be used, how it is protected and the circumstances in which it may be shared with third parties.

This policy explains Webrote’s general approach to privacy and data use on its website. Legal information relating to the protection of personal data, the use of cookies, commercial electronic communications and the use of the website is addressed separately in the relevant policies and notices.

Our Approach to Privacy

Webrote aims not to collect more information than is necessary for the relationship established with users or for the services being provided, and to use the information collected for specific, clear and legitimate purposes.

The processing of information is based on concrete needs such as communicating with users, evaluating a project request, operating the website securely, resolving technical issues or analysing website usage. Information is considered only to the extent that it is relevant and necessary for the purpose for which it is processed.

Webrote may change or improve the technologies it uses and its data-processing practices over time. Where such changes affect privacy practices, the relevant policies and notices may also be updated.

Purpose and Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy covers the general principles applicable to data-processing activities that may take place when the Webrote website is visited, pages and content are viewed, comments are submitted, contact and project forms are used, communication takes place by email or users interact with online services provided by Webrote.

Third-party websites, platforms and services linked from Webrote but not operated by Webrote are subject to their own privacy policies and terms of use. Any activity carried out after leaving Webrote for a third-party service may be governed by that provider’s own practices.

Information We Collect and Process

Different types of information may be processed depending on the nature of your interaction with Webrote. This information may be provided directly by you or generated automatically as part of the technical operation of the website.

  • Identity and contact information: Information used to communicate with you, such as your first name, last name, email address and telephone number.
  • Request and communication information: The subject of your enquiry, project subject, message content and other information you provide to Webrote.
  • Comment information: Information provided through comment forms, comment content and technical records associated with the comment.
  • Technical information: IP address, user-agent, device and browser information, access time, visited URL, referring page, HTTP status information and similar system records.
  • Analytics information: Statistical information relating to visited pages, traffic sources, device and browser characteristics and general website usage and interactions.

Webrote does not intend to request users’ sensitive personal data or other sensitive information that is not necessary to provide the relevant service. Users are advised not to enter sensitive information in contact, project or comment fields unless it is necessary for the request to be evaluated or for the relevant content to be published.

How We Use Information

Depending on the nature of the information and the scope of your relationship with Webrote, information collected may be used for the following purposes:

  • Receiving, evaluating and responding to contact and project requests,
  • Providing information about requested services and establishing the necessary communication,
  • Receiving, reviewing, publishing and, where necessary, moderating comments,
  • Ensuring that the website operates securely, reliably and remains accessible,
  • Detecting or preventing spam, bot activity, attacks, abuse and unauthorised access attempts,
  • Identifying and resolving technical errors, performance issues and system problems,
  • Analysing website traffic, traffic sources and usage patterns,
  • Improving content, user experience and the services offered,
  • Protecting Webrote’s legal rights and complying with applicable legal obligations.

Contact and Project Requests

When you use Webrote’s contact or project forms, you may provide information such as your first name, last name, email address, telephone number, enquiry or project subject and message content.

This information may be used to evaluate your request, communicate with you about it, understand the scope of the requested service, prepare necessary information or proposals and continue the relevant correspondence.

When a form is submitted, technical information such as the IP address, user-agent, device information and referring page may also be recorded for security purposes, to prevent abuse and, where necessary, to investigate the technical source of a submission.

If you contact Webrote directly by email, your email address, message content, email header information and other information required to continue the correspondence may be processed and stored within the email infrastructure used for communication.

Comments and User Contributions

Where comments are enabled on Webrote content, users may share their opinions and observations relating to that content.

When a comment is submitted, information provided through the comment form and the comment itself, together with technical data such as the IP address and browser user-agent, may be processed to help detect spam, automated submissions and abuse.

For approved comments, the display name provided by the user and the comment content may be visible to other visitors to the website. Users are advised not to include personal or sensitive information in comments if they do not want that information to be publicly visible.

Webrote reserves the right not to publish, to moderate or to remove comments containing spam, advertising, misleading content, insults, abuse, unlawful content or content unrelated to the relevant page or post. Information about cookies used when comments are submitted or displayed is provided separately in the Cookie Policy.

Security and Technical Records

As part of the operation of Webrote’s technical infrastructure, various technical records may be generated by web servers, hosting infrastructure, security systems and web applications.

These records may include information such as IP address, access date and time, requested URL, HTTP request or status information, browser and device characteristics, user-agent, referring page and error logs.

Technical records may be used to monitor website operation, resolve errors, investigate performance issues, detect attacks or abuse attempts, maintain system security and, where necessary, investigate technical incidents.

Cloudflare Turnstile is used to help protect contact and project forms against automated bot submissions, spam and abuse. The service may perform the technical checks required to assess the reliability of form submissions and limit automated use.

Analytics and Similar Technologies

Webrote uses Google Analytics to understand how the website is used, assess visitor traffic, identify which content and pages attract greater interest and improve the website.

In this context, technical or statistical information relating to visited pages, traffic sources, device and browser types and general website usage and interactions may be processed.

Detailed information about cookies and similar technologies used for analytics, their purposes and how users can manage their preferences is available in the Cookie Policy.

Third-Party Service Providers

Webrote does not operate its website and services as a completely closed, standalone system. Third-party service providers may be used for hosting and server infrastructure, email communications, security, spam protection, traffic analysis and similar technical processes.

In this context, certain information may be processed through hosting and infrastructure providers, email services, Cloudflare Turnstile, Google Analytics and other services required for the technical operation of the website.

Data sharing with third-party service providers, or processing carried out through those providers, is intended to be limited to what is necessary for the relevant service to be provided.

The technical infrastructure of some third-party providers may be located outside Türkiye or data may be processed through systems located in other countries. Further information about the legal basis for personal data transfers and international transfers is provided in the Data Protection Notice.

Sharing of Information

Information processed by Webrote may be shared with relevant service providers, technical infrastructure providers or parties carrying out specific services on behalf of Webrote to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes described in this policy.

Personal information is not used solely for the purpose of creating commercial data lists or offering user information to third parties as a standalone product.

Where sharing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect the legal rights of Webrote or third parties, investigate fraud or abuse, or respond to lawful requests from competent authorities, relevant information may be disclosed to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Data Retention and Deletion

Information is not retained for the same period in every case. Retention periods may vary depending on why the information is processed, whether the relevant communication or service relationship continues, technical or security requirements and applicable legal obligations.

Contact and project requests, email correspondence, comments, technical logs and other information may be retained only for as long as the relevant processing purpose or legal requirement continues.

When the purpose requiring the processing of information no longer exists and there is no other legal or technical requirement for retention, the relevant records may be deleted, destroyed or anonymised using appropriate methods.

User comments published on the website may remain accessible as part of the relevant content and comment thread. Requests concerning the deletion or other processing of personal data are assessed separately in light of the nature of the request and applicable law.

Data Security

Webrote applies appropriate technical and administrative security measures to protect processed information against risks such as unauthorised access, misuse, loss, alteration, deletion or unlawful disclosure.

These measures may include access and authorisation controls, server security, the use of up-to-date software and systems, security updates, backups, bot and spam protection, access logs, error and security monitoring and other technical measures appropriate to the relevant needs.

Webrote may review and improve its security practices in response to the technologies used, emerging risks and changes in the scope of its services.

Due to the nature of internet-based data transmission and electronic systems, no technical method can provide absolute security. Nevertheless, implementing reasonable and practicable security measures and maintaining systems on an ongoing basis form part of Webrote’s technical operations.

Legal Requests and Competent Authorities

Webrote may disclose information and records in its possession where required by applicable law or where they are duly requested by competent judicial or administrative authorities.

Where possible, such requests are assessed with regard to their legal basis, scope, the nature of the information requested and the amount of data necessary to satisfy the request. Where disclosure is required, the intention is to limit it to the information necessary to comply with the relevant legal or administrative request.

Webrote may also retain records for the duration necessary to handle a legal dispute, exercise or protect rights, investigate abuse or comply with legal obligations.

Requests and Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or Webrote’s privacy practices, you can contact Webrote through the Contact page.

Further information about your legal rights relating to the processing of personal data, how to submit a request to the data controller, data transfers and related legal matters is provided separately in the Data Protection Notice.
