Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Temiz Blog ("we", "us", or "our") handles information in connection with the website temizblog.com (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Information We Collect

We aim to collect as little information as possible from visitors of the Service. In particular:

• Account information: The Service does not offer public user accounts. No sign-up, registration, or login is required to read content.
• Reading data: We do not use analytics, tracking pixels, or fingerprinting that would record your reading behavior, scroll depth, or the articles you open.
• Communication: The contact form on the Contact page is a demonstration feature. Submissions are handled locally in your browser and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers. No name, email, or message you enter into that form reaches us. To contact us for real, please use the email address provided on the Contact page.
• Server logs: Our hosting infrastructure may generate standard server access logs (such as IP address, request time, and requested URL) for the purpose of security, abuse prevention, and technical operation. These logs are kept only for as long as necessary for those purposes and are not used to build profiles about individual readers.
• Administrator data: A separate, restricted login exists for authorized editors who publish content. That login uses a username and password, and an authentication token stored in the editor's browser. This is unrelated to public visitors.

2. Cookies and Local Storage

The Service does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party cookies.

We use your browser's localStorage for a single purpose: remembering whether you prefer the light or dark theme. This preference is stored on your device under a key named theme and is never sent to our servers or any third party. You can clear it at any time by resetting your browser storage or by using your browser's site-data settings.

Editorial staff who log in to publish content additionally store an authentication token in localStorage. This is irrelevant to public readers.

3. Third-Party Services

The Service loads fonts from Google Fonts (the Inter typeface). When your browser requests these fonts, Google may receive technical information such as your IP address and the page URL. Google's handling of that information is governed by Google's own privacy policy. We do not send any personal data to Google ourselves.

Apart from Google Fonts, the Service does not embed advertising networks, social plugins, video players, comment systems, or analytics providers that would collect data about you.

4. How We Use Information

The limited information described above is used only to:

• Operate and maintain the Service and publish AI news content;
• Remember your theme preference between visits;
• Protect the Service against abuse, unauthorized access, and technical issues;
• Respond to genuine inquiries you send us directly by email.

We do not use your information to build advertising profiles, sell data to third parties, or share data with data brokers.

5. Data Retention

Your theme preference is retained in your own browser until you clear it. Server logs, where they exist, are retained only for as long as required for security and operational purposes. Contact-form entries are not retained at all because they are not transmitted to us. Editorial content and its metadata are retained for the lifetime of the Service.

6. Your Rights

Because we do not collect personal data from public visitors, most data-protection rights (such as access, correction, deletion, or portability) have little to apply to. Nonetheless, if you believe we hold information about you — for example because you emailed us directly — you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of that information by contacting us at the email address listed on the Contact page.

We will respond to reasonable requests within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is directed to a general audience interested in artificial intelligence news. It is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. International Users

The Service is operated from the Republic of Turkey and is available to readers worldwide. If you access the Service from outside Turkey, please be aware that information handled as described in this Policy may be processed in Turkey, which may have data-protection laws that differ from those in your country of residence. By using the Service, you consent to such processing.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technical setup, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Material changes will be communicated by updating this page.
