Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Alu News, available at https://aliacar.net.tr, collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you visit or interact with the website.

Information we collect

We may receive information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, website address, and comment content when you submit a comment or contact us.

Our servers may automatically record technical information such as your Internet Protocol address, browser type, device information, referring page, requested pages, timestamps, and security-related events.

Comments and public content

When visitors leave comments, we collect the information shown in the comment form together with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string to support moderation, security, and spam detection.

An anonymized string created from an email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine whether the commenter uses it. After a comment is approved, the associated profile image may be visible publicly. Anything included in the comment text may also become public, so do not submit sensitive personal information.

Cookies

The site may use essential cookies for security, session management, preferences, and WordPress functionality. If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These comment cookies may last for up to one year.

A temporary cookie may be set on the login page to check whether your browser accepts cookies. Logged-in users may receive authentication and screen-preference cookies. Embedded services may set their own cookies subject to their policies. See our Cookie Policy for more information.

Embedded content and external services

Articles may contain embedded images, videos, social-media posts, or other content from third-party websites. Embedded content behaves as though you visited the third-party website directly. Those services may collect data, use cookies, and monitor interactions according to their own privacy policies.

How we use information

We use information to operate and secure the website, display and moderate comments, respond to requests, diagnose technical problems, prevent abuse, comply with legal duties, enforce our terms, and improve content and site performance.

Where applicable, processing may be based on consent, performance of a requested service, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests such as site security, moderation, and audience understanding.

Sharing and international transfers

We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with hosting, caching, security, spam-prevention, and technical service providers only as reasonably necessary to operate the site. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

Some providers or embedded services may process information in other countries. Where required, we seek to use appropriate legal safeguards for international transfers.

Retention

Comments and related metadata may be retained indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognized and moderated. Technical logs are retained only as long as reasonably needed for security, troubleshooting, and legal compliance. Other information is kept for the period required by the purpose for which it was collected or by applicable law.

Your rights

Depending on your location, including under Türkiye’s Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data and the EU General Data Protection Regulation where applicable, you may have rights to learn whether data is processed, request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or information about recipients, and object to certain processing.

You may also withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis. Rights may be limited by legal exceptions. To make a request, use the methods described on our Contact Us page and provide enough information for us to verify and respond to the request.

Children’s privacy

Alu News is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information should contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security, and visitors provide information at their own risk.

Policy changes

We may revise this policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date.

Contact

Questions or privacy requests may be submitted using the process described on our Contact Us page at https://aliacar.net.tr/?page_id=62. Do not place sensitive personal information in a public comment.
