Privacy and the protection of personal data

The suggestion and correction form

When you send the form, the name, contact and message you write (the place, the fact and the link) reach us. Nothing else is requested and no account is needed.

Your name and contact are never published; they serve only to ask you about your message.

Visit statistics

Visits are counted by a script the site serves itself, without cookies and without building profiles. A click on a contact button on a place’s page sends a single event with the button type, the place and its activities, and nothing about you.

Your location

Your location is requested only if you press the location button. It stays in your browser while the page is open, is used there to work out distances and is sent to nobody, ourselves included.

When you pick a station, a school or a neighbourhood by name, your browser keeps it for your next visit.

The map in the filters shows OpenStreetMap streets: opening it makes your browser load map images from OpenStreetMap’s servers, which see your IP address and the part of the map you look at, as any website would. The point you choose stays in your browser.

Listed places and your rights

The list passes on what places publish openly on their own sites, municipal pages and Google listings. Where one person runs a place, a phone number or an address appears only if that person published it.

Our legal basis is Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK): Article 5(2)(d), data made public by the person concerned, and Article 5(2)(f), legitimate interest, since parents need these facts to compare activities. For readers in the European Union, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR applies. We sell no data and profile no one.

Anyone named in the list can use the rights in Article 11 of the KVKK (to learn what is held about them, to have it corrected or erased, and to object) through the form. We answer within thirty days (Article 13), and you may also complain to the Personal Data Protection Board (Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurulu).

Erasing your message

To have a message you sent erased, use the form again and say which message it was; we erase it within a month.
