This Privacy Policy applies to the website turkishforbeginners.com (“the site”), published by Fatih Koçoğlu as Learn Turkish with Fatih. It is a static site that teaches everyday Turkish phrases. We do not invent a company address or a contact form here: if you need to reach us, use the contact options on the YouTube channel or the Gumroad book page.
What this site collects
You can read the pages and listen to phrases without creating an account. We do not run user accounts, a newsletter signup, or our own advertising or analytics scripts on this site today.
The company that hosts the site may keep ordinary server logs (such as IP address, date, and browser type) for security and to keep the site running. We do not use those logs to build a profile of you.
If you choose a cookie preference in the banner, that choice is stored only in your browser (local storage). It is not sent to us as a personal profile.
YouTube videos
Some pages can show a short video lesson. We first show a thumbnail. The YouTube player (via youtube-nocookie.com) is loaded on this site only after you click and only if you have accepted optional cookies. If you refuse optional cookies, the link opens on YouTube itself instead. When a YouTube player or YouTube website loads, Google may collect data and set cookies under Google’s Privacy Policy.
Google AdSense (not in use yet)
We do not show ads on the site today. We may use Google AdSense in the future to display ads. If we do, Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve, measure, and personalize ads, including based on your visits to this site and other sites. We will update this policy and the cookie notice when ads go live. You can learn more in Google’s advertising policy and opt out of personalized ads at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
Buying the book
The e-book is sold on Gumroad, which is a separate website with its own privacy policy and payment processing. We do not see or store your card details on this site.
Private lessons form
If you send the private lessons form, the details you enter (name, e-mail, native language, level, goal, preferred times and message) are stored by our host Netlify and forwarded to Fatih by e-mail, only to answer your request. We delete them when they are no longer needed. You can ask us to delete them at any time.
Free travel guide downloads
When you download a free “Türkiye in Colour” guide, the form on our Travel pages sends your e-mail address, optional name, the guide you chose, the page language and, only if you tick it, your consent to receive free Turkish lessons and travel tips. The form is processed by Netlify (our host) and the details are e-mailed to Fatih. We use the e-mail address to provide the guide and, only with your consent, to send occasional lessons and tips; you can unsubscribe at any time by replying “unsubscribe” or by writing to us, and we delete your data on request. The legal basis is the performance of your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and, for newsletters, your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). We never sell or share your address with advertisers.
Your choices and rights
You can accept or refuse optional cookies in the banner, and you can change that choice on the Cookie Policy page. You may also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or a similar jurisdiction, you may have rights to ask what data is held about you, to correct it, or to ask for it to be deleted, and to complain to a data protection authority. Because this site has no user accounts, we typically hold no personal profile about you. Hosting logs, if any, are kept only for a short time by the host.
Children
The site is a language-learning resource and is not aimed at collecting personal information from children.
Changes
If our practices change — for example if we turn on Google AdSense — we will update this page and the date above.
