How the Turkic Atlas handles data.
Who is responsible
Responsible for this website is Emre-E. Yavuz (YavuzArts, Khan's Den), Postfach 1421, 91004 Erlangen, Germany. Contact: info@thekhansden.com.
In short
The Turkic Atlas uses no advertising and no analytics or tracking tools. Fonts, images, maps, the music of the radio and the read-aloud recordings are loaded from its own server only. Third-party services are involved only where you follow a link to another site.
Hosting and server logs
The site is delivered through Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., USA). When a page is requested, the server processes technical data such as the IP address, date and time, the requested address, the browser type and the amount of data transferred. This is needed to deliver the site securely and without errors (legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, legitimate interest). Cloudflare may process this data outside the European Union, relying on the safeguards named in its own privacy policy.
Cookies
The Turkic Atlas sets no cookie for advertising or measurement. Only a visitor who uses a preview key receives a technically necessary cookie that remembers access to the preview (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and § 25(2) of the German TDDDG). It contains no personal details.
Local storage in your browser
The site remembers your settings in your browser (local storage, entries beginning with ta-): design and colour, light or dark, the language, whether the donation banner, Yolluk and the hints have already been shown, the volume of the radio and when you last visited. The entries stay on your device, are not sent to anyone and can be deleted in your browser settings.
Links to other websites
The Turkic Atlas links to Patreon, Buy Me a Coffee, GoFundMe, YavuzArts, Khan's Den and the collections that images come from. Once you follow a link, the privacy policy of that site applies. Showing a link does not pass any data on.
Your rights
You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21), and you can withdraw a consent at any time (Art. 7(3)). You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77). To exercise your rights, write to info@thekhansden.com.
